Beautifully clean, precise work, Peter. And she looks good, too!

Thanks Steven!

 

A sharp knife, a sanding block and some glue does the job perfectly. I’m having fun building and changing her a bit more to my liking. 😉

thanks for stopping by!

**Stairs**

 

Hello Sir’s,

 

After seeing Patrick’s design in his last post, I have tried to find a way to construct this solution. Here is how I have done this.

Further along I made the stairs. So the handrails are the same wood, but a bit lighter. This wil darken up a bit after a while.

I had to make a stair out of walnut because of the extra stairs I needed. This was not included in the kit, so had to make one.

While working on the stairs and railings, I made a start with the deadeyes and chainplates.

I can only agree, just so precise and clean. A true inspiration sir. Your railing turned out very well, the water worked :) I like this model, it was this ship that got me interested in wooden model ships quite a few years ago. Your build sets the bar very high but it is certainly something to strive for :)

 

Thank you Sir. The Santa Maria got you into shipmodeling you say? What is it about this model that got your attention? I think you’ll do better with your Victory. 🙂

Amazing work as always.

Everytime you post more progress you show me something I want to incorporate into my own build. You are also setting a standard that I can only wish for!

 

Did the chainplates come with the kit? I will need to find some similar, the ones in the Pinta kit are poor in comparison..

Thanks Nikbud I am sure you will accomplish the same quality with your ship mate, she looks stunning. The chainplates comes with the kit. The solution to connect the deadeyes to the chainplates is of my own making. The kit provides rope to tie the lower deadeyes to the chainplates. I will only use rope on the upper deadeyes what makes sense ofcourse.

**Chapter - Getting dressed**

 

Hello my friends,

 

Thank you for all your support, comments, likes and suggestions. It makes the journey so much better!

So, the last update for this year. 2018 is almost over and 2019 is knokking on the door.

In the mean time the shipyard is open and it's busy. I've been doing all kinds of things on the ship. More and more items are placed on the ship and it's almost like she's getting dressed.


To start I've placed the lower deadeyes on port side and used some veneer to cover the openings for the chainplates on the channel.

A swivel gun has been placed...

Next the remaining bases for the masts. Just found the last bit of scrap walnut to make two bases...

Hi Kier,

 

I didn’t stain the hull, it’s the natural colour of the walnut veneer provided with the kit. I like the colour too. 😉

You also a happy new year tomorrow. 🙂

Chees matey

.         the more I follow this build the more attracted I am getting of putting her on my list of ships. I have been away from my ship building for a while now as I have recently moved property which had a lot of work to do. Can't wait to get back into it. Although I would never be away from it, 

once into models boats, you don't leave. 

.        Thankyou again for your info.  She's looking great

Hello people,

 

This is my first humble update for 2019! Again happy new year to you all.

It's a relative small update with just a few things done, but none the less I tried to show the proces step by step to show you guys how I've accomplished it.

 

Now to start with the guns. There are four on the ship and she was not a heavily armed ship because she was a merchant ship, a cargo vessel so to say. The guns were very primitive and were called "Lombards". It was nothing more than a big barrel on a piece of wood, block type. No wheels and no easy way to raise or lower the barrel. The way they did this, was to place a piece of wood underneath the front to raise the gun so to say. 

 

To create such a solid piece of history I came with the following solution. (of course I did not used the cast metal parts except for the barrel)

So, I first laminated 3 pieces of wood to create a small block. I've cut two side pieces and one bottem piece out of walnut.

 

ec140036760c6219da6a1fb48732c0fc.jpg

 

I glued the small block onto the bottem..

 

a890d12d40dc9888c2500603e1ced852.jpg

 

ea4e2ec9faff6e9ad0b558ce0a773d1c.jpg

 

Then I made my design for the side pieces and cut them out with a knife.

 

6a4f1e665def8e86df39774f13acd9b1.jpg

 

2c610f299b4b58b31207fe6c1bbfbf25.jpg

 

I've glued everthing together and sanded the thing with 180 grid sandpaper.

 

5e16004a00b22d15955b8a893921634c.jpg

 

9d39393c8cce58b6b81a0e1245f37daf.jpg

 

It needs some metal parts as rings and some rigging as well. So it's not finished yet, but it gives you guys an idea what it would look like.

Next are some other things I added onto the ship...and I'll show you the proces as well.

b63ec9a34139eaf2dfe82db061453cf3.jpg

 

So I made two of those, One at the Mizzen mast and one for the main mast. 
Next pictures show how I placed it onto the deck. Because of the rigging it needs to hold later, I reinforced it with some brass pins.

 

fe9b3aee11fc2761042190ad177c4ebf.jpg

 

d2ffbd92cc2a91f1b2b9fadc8edf2b4d.jpg

 

I push the pins into the deck to see where I need to drill the holes...

8df607e51a2f2f5c78f54e5d821ecda9.jpg

 

The same I did at the main mast...

2d894c5ba28183483582a3d417af70fc.jpg

 

And the last part is the water barrel...

 

f1cb3d62c39b56968b4190b99377a01d.jpg


After this I have to start to construct the masts and spars and ofcourse the start of rigging the vessel. That last part is not my strongest part of the build but we will see what I make of it later on.

 

For now, I wish you a pleasant evening / night and stay tuned for the next update...

Peter

Lovely clean work, Sir, as we have come to expect.

I like the cannons, am looking forward to how they will be rigged.

Thanks man, I’m still figuring out how to do this exactly. I think I have found a way, now I only need to make it with my two hands.... 🙄

I can only agree with Paul, very neat and precise work here sir. Those guns do llok like they were cumbersome to handle but, like you said she was a cargo vessel and the guns were not in constant use as they would have been on a warship. 

Thinking ahead is definitely something we all need to do on a build. Your idea with the pins to strengthen those structures for later rigging was just great. It also helped with their placement, very helpful Peter. 

Thanks and you’re welcome! 🙂

**Chapter 10 - Oiled**

 

Hello my friends,

 

From the kitchentable I write you guys this update with a little smile on my fase. Today was an important day on the shipyard because I've coated the SM with some Danish Oil. I really like this oil due to the mixture of Tung and Lindseed and some other stuff. It's a clearcoat, transparant oil which let the wood really pop! The grain, the colour, all will be accentuated by the oil and it gives a very nice finish and protection to the wood.

It's easy to apply, with a rag or a brush and after it's been soaked into the wood, with a clean rag or towel rub it out and your finished.

 

but, there is some assambly of some parts as well, and I continue with the cannons or Lombards, what they are called. As mentioned before, they aren't that pretty looking and a bit hars to operate, but I'm having fun building these lombards.

 

So, I've bend some brass wire into rings...

 

e3e338eefcc716e5fe5dd36fcd86055b.jpg

 

4a4d57fa2531e36f22a78c09b27ff3a1.jpg

 

two different sizes as well...

 

86099d1f584fbbdeaf39c44cf71ae845.jpg

 

After blacken it, I place them onto the base of the cannon.

 

202f3d3bd03aef99b9287fcbd5cd7d93.jpg

 

After some oil, they look like this...

 

f9825b083e42c62a74aaed0e7b45bd4b.jpg

 

d64ed31389a0c9b92acc4ae5a73f16c6.jpg

 

I'm excited about the first finished Lombard. Now I have to make 3 more...but that's for another time.

Next I continue with the ship's lantern. Now, the lantern included with the kit isn't that bad so I decided to go for it and use it on the SM. However I painted the thing first so it look a bitter better. The way AL wanted me to place it on the ship doh, is another pickle. AL choose the easy way out and choose to use some brass wire and place it on the top deck of the ship. So, drill a hole in the deck and put the lantern on a pole into the deck.
This wasn't what I had in mind. So I used the brass wire allright, but mounted the lantern a little bit different...

 

I took the brass wire and flatten one end with a hamer.

 

14bd2921cdfc6e051065ec602d780460.jpg

 

Then I bend the piece into the desired shape and drilled two holes...

 

52404f05026c798dcf1de4dd193a19b3.jpg


The lantern on the constructed part...

 

c4f2401d179777cd4db8eca9e0f94224.jpg

 

and on the ship!

2a0bca93454188eafd029726e5fd0e4e.jpg

 

So next step is the one I feared most....Rigging! I've always had troubles with the rigging part of the ship. I don't know if it's me or the knots and wires that gets me on my nerves. So I decided to help myself this time a little bit and I bought some 100% natural beeswax. 

 

39a183ca1cca73ed30f9d7ab41cb874f.jpg

 

All the wires and ropes I have to make, I pull it through the beeswax first. I makes the ropes more sturdy and better to handle. It's great!

Buy yourself some beeswax for you rigging and before you use the cotton threat's, pull it a couple of times through the wax and you're in heaven!

8ca8fb822bf28dc98032e3ad26f5e7d5.jpg

 

By placing the anchors onto the ship. I needed to pull a piece of wire throuh a couple of holes. This was impossible so used a piece of brass wire as a guide to get the wires through!

Lovely work.   can you tell me, the bees wax does or not make the rigging sticky at all? I do have some but I never used it before because I thought it may make some parts or fittings all yuk.

Well, yes it makes the rigging a little bit sticky. The bees wax lasts a long time and make sure you rigging will last for a longer time.

She is looking a beauty, Peter, you should be justifiably proud.

I love the look of the Lombard, it looks very purposeful, and the anchors' look great.
