  • Page 4: Before You Begin

    Gently sand the shaded area, towards the stern, until you have a taper from the bearding line to 3mm wide at the stern. Continue as instructed with the second planking and upon completion the width at the stern will again be 5mm. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 5 10. All of these extensions should be correctly fitted and glued, it is important that they are at right angles to bulkhead 10 and that they sit securely into the slots as shown (Photo 003). Photo 001 Photo 002 Photo 003 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 6 (port and starboard) are aligned to those opposite. This whole assembly should now be set aside to dry thoroughly, offer support to the assembly to prevent distortion. Photo 004 Photo 005 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 7 The building cradle (16-18) can now be constructed; ideally this should be squarely and firmly secured to a building board of your choice. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 8 Once the planking below the wale is completed and has dried thoroughly, it can be sanded smooth, the waterline can be marked on and the area from the waterline down painted white. The whole of the exposed stem, above the waterline should also be painted dull black (white below the waterline). © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 9 The centre line should be positioned to the top; it will be required during the planking of the deck at a later stage. Photo 010 Photo 011 Photo 012 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 10 Upon completion of the mortar housings, the whole assembly and component parts should be lightly varnished and can either be glued together to form a solid structure or left to dry fit as authentic removable components. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 11 The remaining chase ports and cabin lights with lids will be lined in a different manner at a later stage of construction. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 12 0.8mm ply into the slot, there should be no gaps between this scrap material and the spirketting as shown on Plan Sheet 2, ‘Inner bulwark spirketting & sheer rail’. Photo 013 Photo 014 Photo 015 Photo 016 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 13 Remembering to clear the mast hole as you progress, six planks (three each side) of 2x4mm walnut should also be laid. When these planks have all been laid their outer edge should form a continuous run with the outer edges of the main hatch lining, i.e. an overall width of 29mm. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 14 6x6mm walnut and painted matt (metal) black. It is glued into position down through the hole in the forecastle, into the hole in the upper gun deck. When fitted and thoroughly dried, it should be sanded flush to the forecastle ply deck. Photo 017 Photo 018 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 15 (210). The Stern counter should be painted dull black and the brass etched components should be painted matt (metal) black.

  • Page 20 (284), these can be cut short before fixing. Paint the trunnion brackets and pins matt (metal) black. Note: The cannon trunnion is not glued to the carriage or the trunnion bracket, it should be free to allow the cannon to be raised or lowered with the quoin when fitted. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 21 2.5mm single block in the carriage axle and down as a coil of rope (cheese) on the deck (Photo 024). Once the rigging is in place, brush watered down PVA over the ropes and blocks. Again, time effort and patience is required for best results. Photo 023 Photo 024 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 22 The Belfry is positioned centrally across the main deck vertically and flush against the after edge of the forecastle, the windlass is glued into position directly behind the belfry such that the pawls sit into the topmost pawl slots of the centre barrel (Photo 025). Hand spikes can be fashioned from 1.5x1.5mm walnut if desired. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 23 When the assemblies are thoroughly dry, they can be glued into place as shown Plan Sheet 2, ‘Main deck layout’. In order for the ladder uprights to sit flush against the quarterdeck bulkhead, it may be necessary to file a small notch in the first tread to allow for the curved pillar upright (Photo 021). © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 27 Identify and remove the hair bracket (244) from the brass etched sheet. This bracket should be painted French blue and fitted into position against the stem, forming a continuation of the upper cheeks as shown on Plan Sheet 1, ‘Hull detail’. Photo 029 Photo 030 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 29 Identify and, after painting matt (metal) black, remove the scuppers (211) from the brass etched sheet. Using Plan Sheet 1, ‘Hull detail’ for reference, glue the scuppers into position with cyano. When dry, the area inside the scupper can be painted dull black to simulate a hole. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 30 The taffrail capping of 1x4mm walnut painted dull black can now be fitted, centrally, to the upper edge of the stern fascia and transom decoration. The capping should be soaked in water prior to fitting to make the walnut more pliable for fitting around the curve of the taffrail. Photo 034 Photo 035 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 31: Swivel Guns

    You will also note that although there are 18 pedestals, only 12 guns were carried and these would have been moved around the pedestals as required. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 32: The Rudder

    Note: Although vessels of this size were commonly fitted with 5 sets of pintles, gudgeons and straps, it was found during research of admiralty plans that Granado was only fitted with 4 sets. The two smallest rudder straps on the brass etch sheet (unnumbered) are therefore not required. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 33 Once the hole is drilled, it should be enlarged using a small file and made square, do not exceed 2mm square. Ideally the mortice hole should be slightly tapered to accept the tiller tenon. The rudder can now be re-positioned on the model (Photo 040) and the tiller inserted into the mortice (Photo 041). © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 34 The lower finishing figure can now be fitted, it is glued against the after end of the wale and the ‘tail’ butts against the base of the Roman Legionnaire. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.

Using Plan Sheet 3, ‘Main top’ for reference, glue the gunwale to the platform and using 1.5x1.5mm walnut for the battens, glue these to the platform, within the gunwale as shown. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 37 Note: A 0.5mm hole, to simulate a sheave, should be drilled fore and aft through the main topgallant mast, at a distance of 5mm below the hounds (top octagonal section), this will be required when rigging the main topgallant yard tie. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 38 The main topgallant mast: from the lower edge to the upper edge of the hounds. The Bowsprit: from the jibboom heel chock, up to and including the bowsprit cap, this incorporates the inboard end of the jibboom and the jackstaff also. Photo 047 © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
  • Page 39 Cut to length and paint dull black lengths of 1.5x1.5mm walnut to fit into the ‘U’s’ of the rail stanchions across the tops, as hand rails. The hand rails should be approximately the same length as the width of the top, but not exceeding this measurement. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.

  • Page 46 It would be normal practice to attach these now, however in order to keep the model to a more manageable size it will be beneficial to ship them at a later stage as described. If you prefer to ship them now, all required instruction can be found on pages 57 & 58. © 2004 JoTiKa Ltd.
