guraus Posted February 1, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2015 Hello all, Since I decided not to do any rigging on my Victory model and since I already made the lower main mast and top I decided to start this small side project to use the parts I've already made and also to put at good use the rope machine I bought a while ago. Additionally this will break a bit the monotony of repetitive work on full hull Victory. The section starts at the main mast and ends at the end of main channels and only from the quarter deck up. This allow me to do most of the main mast standing rigging - less the stays. Now I am imagining this project as the full main mast including the yards but no sails. This might change in the future. Here are some pictures with the progress so far.

cwboland Posted February 8, 2015 Share #6 Posted February 8, 2015 WOW. Great idea to use parts that you've already built. Love the look of the rails. Will be interested to follow along and see how she progresses Quote Carl Completed builds: AL Bluenose II 1:75 Gallery Amati Hannah SIB 1:300 Gallery Current Build: Bluenose II - SIB - unknown scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerligand Posted February 8, 2015 Share #7 Posted February 8, 2015 Beautiful work. I see that you are using different types of wood. Would you mind telling us what you are using? Thank you. Looking forward for the rest of the build. Quote Pierre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guraus Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted February 9, 2015 Beautiful work. I see that you are using different types of wood. Would you mind telling us what you are using? Perre, I use different colours of wood as I don't like using paint or stains. The base is maple and I useed it just because it was readily available and it is very heavy and I figured it will be stable for the tall structure. Outer planking is pear, inner is purplheart, the deck is holy and the rails and channels are ebony. Thank you for interest.

guraus Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Hello, I just got my new serving machine from Domanoff (http://www.shipworkshop.com - thank you for the amazingly fast shipping) and after assembling it I give it a short trial run. I am quite pleased with the results. But I am not there yet so I continued the work on the deck section. First I started making belong pins on my lathe using a method seen here on MSW. I am very happy with how they came also. I still have to do another 6 or so to have them all. Here are some pictures.

guraus Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share #19 Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks for watching and for your comments. Those deadeyes look good. What kind of wood did you turn them from? The wood is called "Castello" - it is the closest thing to boxwood I could find. Some SouthAmerican wood.
