  1. Thank you, Scott, for nice words. As I wrote earlier, in early stage of build I have big mistake which can not be resolved, and which I noticed after mounting 4000 foil strips as mynz metal under water line, except to start model from begining. Deck and deck rails are not paralell ... deck fence has different random height ... So, then I decide to overdetail Her to turn off attention of anybody who will se Her. And that is simply - that. Beside that, making this little beasts is chalenge! And fun. All the best. Nenad
  2. Almost ready for cleaning and white paint VID_20240324_142002.mp4
  3. Cap Band,, step by step Remarks Strip of Cu foil on start is spiral, with ends INSIDE Dont forget to apply thiny foil of soldering on surface of strip. 1. Cut a strip of copper foil of the required width, long enough to wrap twice around the mast. Sand well 2. Bend the tape around both masts in a spiral, so that the ends of the tape are on the inside 3. remove from the mold, adjust to the correct dimensions and tighten so that it does not unroll, then solder the assemblies. Apply a thin layer of solder paste to the surface of the ring to strengthen it 4. Solder the foil over as a cover 5. Remove excess material 6. Drill the holes for the hooks
  4. Making Cap Bands dia 6mm and 8mm is pretty tricky task, which take me couple of months thinking about "how to hell to do this". I forgot how did I make this little beast on bowsprit couple of years before. Thiny, slim, and at the same time it has to be strong enough to hold whole structure and ropes. This is a place where all pull forces from mast ropes came to gather. So, yesterday I had brainstorm, and this is it. In one of next post I will explane step by step my idea
  5. Thanks, dear friend, you remind me that I read about it a along time ago, somewhere on MSW. It can not be boring to me with me 😉🤪
  6. And off course, a mistake! Fortunately, yesterday I temporary put masts on their place to make some pictures, and ... realised .... connection ring on Mizzen for lower yard for spanker is positioned too low! Where were your eyes and brain, Nenad? Happy me! For now, I am curious can I remount CA without damaging wood, and reuse ring with yard holder, or have to make a new mizzen mast ....
  7. Progressing All three nests got plankung with light weathering, so, they are done! Exept painting in one of next stage..
  8. When you have not enough hands ... Second mast almost done
