Halcon Build Log - Gratings, Hatch, and Cathead

Gratings, Hatch and Cathead

Halcon Build Log - Scupper

Scupper

Just a quick update on the scuppers making.

I've also cut-off a slot in the bow for the bowsprit.

Halcon Build Log - Rudder

Rudder

The slots of the rudder by the kit are too big for the hinges, so I have to scratch build one. I made it from three 5mm square strips by stacking up them and shaping.

Shaping

Making slots.

Next, I made the hinges from the photo etch pieces provided by the kit. I've also made myself a simple jig to create the shape of hinge.

And finished them using pliers.

Creating rudder 'hole'.
