Bonjour and thank you for your words.

The main winch is composed with another part which can guide the hawsers.
But sorry, I don't know the word of this part.

Hi there Midori, as far as I'm aware the device is known as a cable spooling guide. Your version looks like it's going to be quite accurate

Ray.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #77 on:** February 23, 2023, 09:53:59 pm »

Thank you Ray,

So the cable spooling guide is completed. I've added some rust and grease effect to be similar as i saw 4 years ago.
Each chain link is less 1 mm long

Capt Podge · « **Reply #78 on:** February 23, 2023, 10:24:02 pm »

Well, that certainly looks accurate to me Midori. Great work!

Cheers,
Ray.

Very nice!

In many wire winch hauling devices, the totally separate ancillary component is called a "Leyering Device"

Simply, during the hauling in, of winch wires, it ensures the wires sit next to the earlier wire loop. and sits firmly and straight ensuring the next loop also follows the same aligned path

Naturally during the paying out process, the same but opposite function results

This example here uses the 1.0mm pitch chain to transmit longitudinal [backwards & forwards] motion to the 4-leg saddle that glides along the bed of the device
A wire guide is close fitted between the saddle of the Layering Device, to the actual Reversable Hauling Winche

Hagglunds [the Swedish hydraulic winch people], use a left-hand thread machined over a right-hand thread, to achieve this tidy winch wire positionong, whan hauling in/paying out via its Leveling Device shaft

Hope this makes sense..........

Thank you for your help.
So the cable spooling guide and the main winch are completed and sticked on deck.
The next step is to make 2 kinds of rolls guide for hawsers.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #83 on:** March 05, 2023, 08:05:19 am »

Hello,
Rolls were not to difficult to build. I've used syringe tube to do it.
For painting, this kind of clamps are very usefull, specially when using airbrush.
On the real photo, painting seems to be white, it'is not. It'is like the winch: light grey.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #84 on:** March 22, 2023, 07:39:05 pm »

Hello,
So, davits and rescue boat (Man Over Board) are made. The next step, will be paint.
After that , I will add a micro servo and an invisible wire to let the MOB on water.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #85 on:** April 03, 2023, 09:09:00 pm »

Hello,
So the M.O.B has just been painted. I would like to add the boat's name, but I must admit it's too small.

Tworrs · « **Reply #86 on:** April 03, 2023, 09:30:50 pm »

A great result Midori, fantastic detail.
Well done mate.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #87 on:** April 12, 2023, 08:47:43 pm »

Hello,
So , the mechanism is completed for putting the MOB on water. As you could see on a photo, there is an invisible wire beetween a brass stripe and the M.O.B
When the stripe is parallel to the bridge : the MOB is down. When the stripe is perpendicular (servo rotation): the M.O.B is up

midori gaoka · « **Reply #88 on:** August 21, 2023, 09:27:24 pm »

Hello,
I've just completed the 2 small cranes. As you could see, one should be able to turn. I've added some rust, smoke and grease effect.
All of them have been covered by a mat varnish.

tweety777 · « **Reply #89 on:** August 22, 2023, 08:39:20 am »

Those cranes look great! I also like your weathering!

midori gaoka · « **Reply #90 on:** August 26, 2023, 07:48:11 pm »

Hello,

So, small cranes have found their places. I've used transfer letters, 2,5 mm and 4 mm high, to represent crane inscriptions. On the second photo, I've started "the weathering" details on the main crane.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #91 on:** September 03, 2023, 09:22:42 pm »

Hello,
So, the main crane has succeeded on its trials. So, you should be able to see the it can turn and lift a container

Capt Podge · « **Reply #92 on:** September 03, 2023, 09:55:50 pm »

Wow, great work Midori she's coming along very nicely. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress... Cheers!

Ray.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #93 on:** October 23, 2023, 01:15:57 pm »

Hello,
So , the "Bourbon Orca" still running. The main crane works properly. I've changed wires on the container. Now, it's looking more realistic, more tighter.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #94 on:** November 12, 2023, 04:03:47 pm »

Hello everybody,

So, paint and weathering have been made on the main winch. It looks a little bit more realistic. I only have 2 small winches to finish the model

midori gaoka · « **Reply #95 on:** February 10, 2024, 01:03:01 pm »

Hello everybody,

So the "Bourbon Orca" is definitevely completed. I will post some photos very closed to show details about it.

Tworrs · « **Reply #96 on:** February 10, 2024, 07:40:26 pm »

Congratulations on completing Bourbon Orca Midori, she looks really spectacular, very well executed.

midori gaoka · « **Reply #97 on:** February 20, 2024, 04:57:42 pm »

thank you TWORRS for your coment,

Theses photos are coming from my last trials "at sea". It took me a long time to use properly the remote control because the pod's roation is very sensitive

Trucker · « **Reply #98 on:** February 20, 2024, 06:11:54 pm »

she looks just great sitting in the water, a really inspiring build to follow from start to finish, hats off to you my friend

Trucker

Spectacular. I've relly enjoyed following along with this build, thank you for sharing.
