Hello David and everyone else who is watching this build. Sure your are allowed to follow! ofcourse you are welcome. I am delighted for every response.

 

I did not use beeswax on the strings because I am not aware of this technique yet. Until yet I rather build the ship very stricked out of the box. last week I bought me a german book about historical modelshipbuilding. I started reading and quick realized that i maid a lot of mistakes. but hey... it is my first wooden ship and it is progress of learning. I also have a little problem that I am not familiar with all these special words which describe all the parts of a ship. in my book there is a picture of a ship in detail with all the names. I think I will translate them into english. it would be good for a better communication here.

 

for my ship I plan also to add some barrels, pirate figures and cannonballs. probably i will remove the cannon to paint them and install some nice rigging.but now some pictures from yesterday.

 

so far, so long, hang on ;)

Hello hello everbody :)

 

I think I will follow some historical things in the future. but not every detail. This decission has everyone to do for his/herself. At least I have a huge respect to everyone who tries to build a ship from wood. I also have 6 rc cars, two rc helicopters and a model railway in scale 1/160. But this build was really a challenge so far for me and I think it will take at least 100 hours more to finish it. The sails and strings need a lot of time and I want change some things like the rigging of the cannons. For this I ordered some spare parts. I will try to add some more detailed pictures this weekend. best regards ludger

and david, i need maybe plus three hours more, because I showed my family your ship and they told me, that I have to paint my stern after they saw your stern. but I will use different colours ;)

so some picture with my camera. still working on the optimum size of the picture. you can see my progress on the fore mast and why I am not happy with the rigging of my cannons. I wasn´t working on the ship much over the weekend. On friday I went to the dentist and I had to handle the pain over the weekend :/ best regards ludger

hello David! as I learned from your build, my chains are in the wrong angle. but I will not go to change it again. it would take forever. so let us keep it as a secret :D

 

yeah the shrouds. i just realize, that my way is ok . so forget what I was saying. My book shows me , that I am still on the right way to get the shrouds connect to the fore mast ;)

 

today I received the barrels and cannon balls

So first gun is removed and allready painted. Currently working on the rigging of the cannon. Detailed soultions are limited through the scale and my own skills/ big fingers :D

thank you david. so first cannon is back in place. the distance between the blocks is to short... and what was supposed to be a joke becomes bitter truth. it is very difficult to reach everything. it took me four hours for one gun and because of the fact that I have to drill additional holes there is the risk to destroy the rigging of the fore mast. anyway. here some pictures. regards ludger

I would say one hour for one cannon David without replacing. But I need additional parts so I have to order them. Currently I am switching around on the ship here and there working on several small details. I bought me a pencil for example, waterproof, to simulate the bolts on the deck.

hello :) yeah david I am not sure yet. I think I will not do it.

 

thank you mark, now I feel shy because I have seen what you are able to build :) It is my first wood ship. I only build three other for my modelrailway but from plastic and years ago ;)

 

yesterday it was time to clean up my workingplace. It was important because I was to confused and I was not sure what to do next.

After that I worked on coils for the coffienägel (sorry do not know the english word - is there somewhere an overview for the nautical english terms?????? help please !!! :D ). Also I read in my book that a ship needs a stove pipe. So I did one by myself. And I build an own rudder because the one from the ship is not realistic. But the rudder is not ready yet. So enjoy the pictures and thanks everyone for following. A nice sunday to everyone. It is time for formula one - Monza :D

hallo, so all cannons are removed and painted. I also got some ornaments on ebay which I plan to add here and there. Critical phase for me in the building process for me. I didn´t liked it to remove the cannons. But at least I hope it will fit and looks better in the end.
