Barbara reacted to russ in Biloxi schooner by Russ - FINISHED - 1/24 scale - RESTORATION
The windlass was next. I made it out of wood and then painted it to look like worn or aged metal. It is bolted to the bowsprit bitts.
Here is the unpainted version.
And the painted version.
And here it is dry fitted in place on deck, but before painting. Note also the scuttle, main hatch, and the cleats along the bulwarks.

Barbara reacted to jeff shreve in Royal Louis 1780 by Ulises Victoria - FINISHED - Mamoli - Scale 1/90 - French 126-gun ship
Ulises, Great work on this one so far ! Way beyond my capabilities yet to tackle that one.
I also picked one up from ME for 440.00 back in Nov. I've had no problems with Mamoli instructions, not perfect being a little vague in parts but so are most. Only issue I've had with Mamoli is just barely enough or just shy on the quantity of wood.
Michael : As for the "coastal" Florida hobby shop - I have a Mantua Le Superbe that was ordered and paid for in Sept 2013 and no sign of it yet and no response from them. Expensive learning experience of who not to buy from.

Barbara reacted to Eric W in Revenue Cutter 1817 by Eric W - FINISHED - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - 1:48 - first build
Here is an update with the toe rails and some of the deck hardware. Instructions were straight forward, except ensure you leave a 3/16" gap at the bow centerline for the bowsprit. The plans were not very clear on this, but the photos in the manual show a gap.

Barbara reacted to Rustyj in Echo by Rustyj - 1:48 - cross-section
Thank you all.
Well I'm really only working on 2 right now. You know the Bomb Vessel is only in the "set up" stage.
With this type of build it's not too hard to do. I have enough room for all three although at 1:24 the
bomb vessel is pushing it. Like last night I worked on the Triton deck beams after assembling part of
the frames for the Echo and they were drying. Then I'll add some chocks let them dry and work on the
deck beams again. So switching back and forth is not bad.
Also they each are so different it's easy to remember where I'm at.
Now if I could only remember where my work shop is I’d be all set!

Deck planking.
Increasing thickness around masts and bowsprit.
Now is time to think to the cabin.
