EJ_L Posted October 16, 2016 Share #571 Posted October 16, 2016 Mostly that huge rail that runs around it. To me it looks as though it would be a tripping hazard or at the very least a major pain in the shins. In low visibility and rough water I could see a lot of falling down over that thing. Then again, I guess like most things if you are around it all the time you would get used to it. mrshanks, zoly99sask, Omega1234 and 3 others 6 Quote "A Smooth Sea NEVER made a Skilled Sailor" - John George Hermanson -E.J.

Elijah Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share #572 Posted October 18, 2016 Thank you all! I have the aft deck nearly finished. The pumps and navigation lights are what are left. I made the bollards, stove pipe, skylight, fife rail, mast coat, and techically "started" the main mast. Really, it is just thinned at the base to fit in the mast hole. The windows are ca, so they are still somewhat shiny, but have a bit of a more dirty look. I had to shrink my self to get some of the photos on deck Until next time! P.S. Yes, the fife rail is a little too close to the skylight. It is a crowded deck!

Elijah Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share #577 Posted October 19, 2016 Most of the parts are simple and only need a little work before installation. They don't take much time, but I think I just might be in a little bit of a hurry. Don't worry! I will slow down !

trippwj Posted October 19, 2016 Share #578 Posted October 19, 2016 Continues to come along nicely, Elijah. As to the strange cockpit, I suspect it served 2 purposes - (1) provided a spot to sit while manning the helm or passing time. They carried multiple pilots (as many as 6 or 8) when on station, and the pilots were not essential to operating the vessel itself (there was a separate crew of 4 sailors, a cook and a the boatkeeper, an apprentice pilot, responsible for operating the vessel when none of the pilots remained on board). (2) provided a measure of protection from any water that came over the deck to prevent it getting into the cabin. These were fairly small vessels, comparatively, and often provided pilot services in rough conditions, beating into a sea to disembark the pilot onto the ship they were meeting. Indeed, they frequently ranged far off shore, competing with other pilot boats to reach an incoming ship first. In addition, as pointed out by Chuck in his practicum, the deck within the cockpit would be about a foot lower than the surrounding deck - the cockpit coaming also provided a measure of trip and fall protection for the crew working the deck. There is some good description of these boats in Leather, J. 2002. The Gaff Rig Handbook: History, Design, Techniques, Developments. 2nd ed. Brooklin, ME: Woodenboat Publications. See http://blueworldwebmuseum.org/item.php?id=283&catid=78&category=Schooners&artist_id=60for the original of this painting. canoe21, Canute, EJ_L and 6 others 9 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elijah Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share #579 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) The aft deck is finished. All I had to do was add the navigation lights and pumps. Next is the fore deck, which the most complicated part will probably be the companionway. I have experience making one, so I doubt this one will take longer. The fore deck is a lot less crowded, so I don't think it will take long. I have already jinxed myself ! Anyway, more later. Here are the pictures. Until next time! P.s. I noticed it looks like there is a splotch of ca on the cap rail next to the belaying pin. I checked, and it is only a shadow. That had me worried !

Elijah Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share #583 Posted October 20, 2016 Oh no! You mentioned rigging! You will get me rushing! I don't believe I will add sails, as that would mean I would need some very fine cloth, a sewing machine, more rigging line, and, most of all, no instructions. I do plan on adding sails next build, but that is thinking way too far ahead. I have to admit, after going sailing a little over a week ago, I am looking forward to rigging.

mikiek Posted October 21, 2016 Share #587 Posted October 21, 2016 Elijah - like Bob said, the little items are what turn a model into a ship. And even though they are small they can still have details. Check as many period pictures/paintings as you can. Get a feel for how the work was done on board. You may find you can add (or remove) items for more realism. cobra1951, dgbot, Elijah and 4 others 7 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?
