mathewp Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share #62 Posted March 19, 2017 G'day all. I took a break from building for a while, but now back into it. Will have a final post for this build up soon. Well, maybe 2 posts. I'll see how long it takes to finish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathewp Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share #64 Posted March 30, 2017 Lets see how this new photo program works. I'm hoping it does what I tell it to. All the rigging is up except for the fore and main braces. It's just easier to be able to move the sails out of the way while I give her a good clean and adjust what needs it. I've added the sails and small cannons. I need to have a bit of a whinge about the rigging plans. They were not to my liking. Some belays had more than one line going to them. Some were as mysterious as the Loch Ness monster. I just couldn't find any evidence of them. For some I just improvised and tried to give some symmetry to the rigging. I feel like i've deciphered the enigma code with this one. Enough venting, but she looks okay and i'll leave them as they are. There's not much left to do, only lantern and rope coils and a final clean and tidy up. Niklas, WackoWolf, Jeff-E and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathewp Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share #65 Posted April 17, 2017 I've managed to finish up this project. Lots of little fiddly bits like rope coils and flags and the last of the rigging. The reef points needed taming as they were all over the place, but a little bit of wood glue tidied them up. I had a go at making a lantern because the supplied on was too difficult to paint nicely and was only a cast metal one. I started off cutting the ornamental top and bottom from the cast lantern, and then making two hexagon shapes to frame the new one. It turned out OK I think. At least it's better than the original. That's it for this build. Thanks for watching. Matt. shipcarpenter, BLACK VIKING and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
