Dan Vadas Posted August 17, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2015 Hi all, I undertook a project three ( was it really?) years ago to finish off a model of Norske Lowe for the same guy who I finished off the Mississippi Riverboat a while ago. His father died before completing both models, so he asked if I could do it for his family as a keepsake. The old guy was a fair to middling modeller, so I don't have a real lot of "Re-do's" on it, but there are some areas I'll tidy up a bit. There are several broken pieces, mostly masts, which I'll re-make. Unfortunately, he had little idea of the sequence of rigging a model - the sharp (or even not-so sharp) eyed among you will relaize that there is virtually NO Standing Rigging, but most of the sails have already been fitted. This will be a bit of a nuisance.

But now you could be off the hook, who could blame you for making up the shrouds-with the ratlines-off the model? Tie the shroud gang around the masthead as a single unit. Its not your fault!

Dan Vadas Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted August 17, 2015 Welcome all . Are you ging to replace those famous plastic blocks with better looking ones, or did you decide they fit in with the general appearance of the model? Good question Jan. I'll leave the plastic ones as long as I can find the rest of them - they weren't in the kit box, I hope I've put them in another container . I'm on a limited budget with this model, and I REALLY DON'T feel like making them all from scratch for this one . Are you intending to redo all the rigging? It'll probably be easier to rip it all off and start again Jeff. I'll use a better quality thread (but not Chuck's this time - I have quite a bit of leftover stuff from previous builds). The first thing I've made is the stand. I need some way of supporting the ship, and I need to keep a building board as low as possible so I can actually fit the model on my workbench (see pic below). I've used the kit-supplied stand, and screwed it to the keel : Here's what I meant about keeping things as low as possible. The Foremast only JUST clears the ceiling of my caravan. The Mainmast won't fit at all, so I'm thinking of shortening all the masts until it does : Danny mtaylor, Jack12477, UpstateNY and 9 others 12 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

It really is a rather bilious color. Yeah, pretty yuck John . I guess he tried to match the color on the kit box - without much success . It's supposed to be "White Stuff" which was used as anti-fouling in some periods. I'll re-paint it.

Dan Vadas Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share #29 Posted August 18, 2015 Thank you Brian and Steve. Seems strange that anyone could have progressed that far on the masting/rigging and not done any of the standing rigging. People are strange. Yeah, I don't know what the story was there. I do know that it was the first Masted model he'd attempted, maybe he thought the ratlines were too hard to tie so he left the shrouds off as well? The Billings plans are about as good as any of theirs (not for the novice ) so they didn't help him much. How will you finish it? It's already been stained, so I'll tidy those areas up a bit and give it a coat or two of semi-gloss. Below the waterline will need a re-paint with a color closer to "normal" .
