Snoepert got a reaction from RGL in HMB Endeavour by RGL -FINISHED - Artesania Latina
Greg,
I wish to express my thanks to all your amazing collection of invaluable photos.
They have given me such inspiration to improve on my work as this is my first attempt to build a wooden ship.
I am currently working on the rigging and seeing your work gives a great guide on how to install.
Thanks again,
Eddie (snoepert)

Hi Shipmates,
While I wait for more parts for the SOS I have begun the Endeavor.
I find this kit by Artesania Latina not as good a quality as the De Agostini kit I am also working with.
There is much more detailed explanation and coding in De Agostini's kit.
This one will be my second attempt at a larger boat.
I will post progress as things happen for comments and hints if I am going wrong.
Thanks
Snoepert

Working more on my rigging.I have learnt it is an art of patience and determination.

Progressing slowly with the rigging.
I must say this is a high need for patience and concentration.
Thank god for the Anatomy of the Endeavor book

This next stage re rigging is where I am a bit green and find this will be my real challenge.
I have one rat line completed and it took a fair bit of time especially tying the individual knots.
Hopefully the next one will be better.Learning all the time.

Thanks for the info Dave
The kit supplied partner rings and I have placed them at the bottom of the masts
I have been fortunate to be able to spend a lot of afternoons lately and time gets forgotten when you are totally into the work.

Have started to do some of the rigging and also made two Bumpkins as this kit does not supply them.
Had trouble finding some material that would bend soI laminated two pieces of bamboo and this seemed to work out well.
Also made some storage boxes at the stern, also not supplied in this AL kit.

More work has been done and I have made all the hatches,skylight ,instrument cabinet and the cargo hatch myself as the AL kit only allows for grills.
After researching the replica and what other fellow model lets have done I decided to go this way.
I must say it was a challenge and for my first attempt it has come out average.
However this is all part of modeling experience and thoroughly enjoyed it

The more I progress into the build I find there are so many little things missing.
I have just finished building the gratings and looked at the replica again and noticed the skylight cabinet and companion hatch,so I have decided to build these from scratch.I then drew up the plan and elevations to get me on the way.

After fitting the trimming channels in the same way as the mooring bits I started putting in the hatches and the hull side windows and decided not to glue these items onto the surface as directed by AL kit but recessed them into the hull.
This was not an easy task but looks so much better.

I have made quite some progress since my last post.
The stern work has been a challenge as the poop pieces were larger in width to the formed stern area when planking and I have had to make some major corrections which where a little disappointing as I feel the kit was not quite correct.
I have also built some scratch pieces to reflect the finished edges to the area as built in the replica
