jack.aubrey Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share #93 Posted May 4, 2017 Jean-Pierre, Mark and Yves. Many thanks again for your more than positive comments. I'm now in the process to leave Tuscany and come back in Cinisello (Milan) to my "official house". Having not decided what to do after my return in Cinisello, I'll bring with me this model and its materials, plans etc in order to be able to continue, if I'll decide so, and finish it. I want to remember you I'm also working on in Cinisello, and its shipyard is idle since many many months. Your sincerely, Jack.Aubrey yvesvidal and MarisStella.hr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack.aubrey Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share #97 Posted June 24, 2017 Saturday, June 24, 2017 It's since April 20th that this log isn't updated anymore. The reason is relatively easy to explain: in this period of time I went back to Milan from Tuscany and, as often happens after long absences from home, I found myself to be involved in everything and more. So nothing or very little modelling, save a timid resumption of activity over the past ten days. Now my ultimate goal is to build the second part of the boat sides, the famous elements that could be removed after sailing and reassembled after fishing. The so-called "Falke". I do not think it will be an easy task, so I'm moving very carefully. I started preparing the removable extensions on the bow and stern. I think the next four images can explain by themselves: these extensions are fixed to the protruding part of the keel and clutched on two metal pins holding this accessory firmly fixed. . 01 - 20170624_102723.jpg 02 - 20170624_102733.jpg 03 - 20170624_102906.jpg 04 - 20170624_102714.jpg By the way I built the rudder, though it will be needed a lot further. Below is a photo of this item. 05 - 20170624_102639.jpg And here's the most demanding part: the picture below shows all the bulwark stanchions on which the "Falke" planking will be applied. Here are presented after the long treatment received. The pieces were laser precut and obviously, on the cutted side, they were all black and burnt. The first activity was to remove the burns to get the original color of the wood. Afterwards I had to work to fit the openings of the gunwale, where to plugin every single stanchion, a rather delicate and boring task: 24 square holes to fit. Finally, when everything was fine, I could stain all the stanchions with a medium wood color. Now they are drying and finally the next job can start, provided the necessary checks to assure everything is properly set up. 06 - 20170624_102617.jpg Hopefully, I hope not have to wait two other months to post the next message.

jack.aubrey Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share #98 Posted June 28, 2017 Wednesday 28 June 2017 I put the items shown in my last message of June 24 (and displayed into its last image) in their proper locations so that, once the glue will be well dryed, I'll can start to install planks over these new hull elements. I thought for a long time to find a method of building these "falke" in order to allow them to be removable, instead of leaving them permanently held but, although I had some idea, I didn't feel confident to try it. There were too many unknown things, one for all: did these so assembled falke maintain their correct shape once extracted from their beds ? So, though with a little reluctance and remorse for my defeat, I decided to fix them. In the photos here below I show all the bulwark stanchions in their room, obviously well glued, indeed rather than well. 01 - 20170628_110441.jpg 02 - 20170628_110355.jpg 03 - 20170628_110435.jpg 04 - 20170628_110428.jpg 05 - 20170628_110416.jpg Cheers, Jack.

jack.aubrey Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share #100 Posted July 2, 2017 Sunday 2 July 2017 ------ ATTENTION ------ The following three images will probably be the only images of this model visible forever in this building log. Unless I can implement a solution that will allow to review the images contained in all the posts I published from 2009 onwards, a solution at the moment I don't have, you will no longer be able to view the images in this thread.But not only: even all my other "topics" I created and managed since 2009 are concerned (!) What's happened ? Since 2009 I took the habit to publish my posts in several forums. More precisely two italian forums, using my mother tongue, and two in english language. To avoid uploading images onto four different sites, with often different loading rules and methods, I had found the solution of uploading them onto a single site, since then free of any charge, acting as a "database" of my photos. By sharing its link, inserted into the body of the forum message, the image was thus displayed. Basically: a single source code for the forum that can be used anywhere. This has worked since 2009. . . Until a few days ago. On June 28, 2017, the owners of the site where I uploaded the images decided to provide this service only for a fee, at the modest annual charge of $ 400.00 !!! All this was communicated with a banner linking the following page: http://photobucket.com/terms Now I don't want to comment the behavior of site owners http://www.photobucket.com ; it's not worth waste time. I'm sorry because a treasure (probably only for me but I'm illuded could be regarded as such by others) of events, problems, solutions and work, time and efforts spent in promoting and making known ship modeling is simply disappeared. This fact will most probably lead me to leave my habit (and my pleasure) of publishing and share my experiences in the near future . . Even though I cannot 100% foresee what will happen. So it's with great sorrow that I am going to say goodbye to you: now I do not feel calm and peaceful to continue presuming that nothing happened. A embrace, Jack. 01 - 20170628_110435.jpg 02 - 20170701_172050.jpg 03 - 20170702_122726.jpg Landlubber Mike, Mfelinger, Papa and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted July 2, 2017 Share #102 Posted July 2, 2017 Very bad news not just for you, but around the world. From what I saw in the IT press, everyone was surprised and hit hard and outraged. There are other hosting sites such as Imgur and others that are either still free or very low costs. The big problem would be moving the images. jack.aubrey 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack.aubrey Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share #103 Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks Don and Mark for your comments. I don't know the reasons Photobucket made this behaviour change regarding their free customer, but, over all, they could imagine the impact of this change. If the fee was $50 instead of $400 may be I accepted their request, considering the potential loss but in this way is not acceptable. Any possible migration from Photobucket to other sites (for example I have 1TB disk space of OneDrive coming fron an Office 365 purchase where to load the images) is possible but difficult and requires a lot of work to implement. Automating this process is, for the moment, out of my capabilities. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack.aubrey Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share #105 Posted July 4, 2017 Tuesday, July 4, 2017 Despite the unlucky "PHOTOBUCKET" event, and therefore accepted, though with great sorrow, the loss of a wealth of personal memories, I decided that I'll continue with this journal until completion. Obviously all the previous images are lost, or as we say in italy, are gone to infantry. So let's imagine to start from now. I am now building, even if not removable, the so-called "falke". We are still far from completing them, but we already have an idea of how the hull completely changes . . From a boat low on the water we are now facing a high-sided boat, much more suitable for sailing. Enjoy these images. These should be forever . . 01 - 20170704_144401.jpg 02 - 20170704_144407.jpg 03 - 20170704_144416.jpg 04 - 20170704_144423.jpg 05 - 20170704_144431.jpg Regards, Jack.

jack.aubrey Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share #117 Posted July 29, 2017 Saturday 29 July 2017 I started some tasks for sailing equipment. Let's begin with the mast, wedged in the keelson and embedded in a half-rounded niche of a seat. Here, of course, it's just positioned. Then we have the boom that will house the jib. 01 20170729_114432.jpg 02 20170729_114444.jpg 03 20170729_114423.jpg Here, instead, the antenna for the triangular sail. This boat features two types of triangular sail, one high and one lower. Because of the height of the display case, I chose the sailing with the lowest antenna. It was a tough choice but I think it's necessary. 04 20170729_114829.jpg And now let's come to the showcase basement of our model. Although the support provided with the kit is nice and original, I had in mind a kind of presentation like the image 08 20160924_110111.jpg, in my opinion very realistic. Then the base of the case is ready to contain this kind of bed made of stones/sand. With this in mind, I asked my daughter, Silvia, who went on holiday to Elba Island to "steal" (I remember that it is not allowed by law) sand and gravel from a couple of Elba beaches . . Now the stolen material has to come in my hands. For now I release some images of the showcase base . . 05 20170729_114331.jpg 06 20170729_114337.jpg 07 20170729_114342.jpg 08 20160924_110111.jpg Regards, Jack.
