    Here is tonight's production. It was a lot of fun. Again,Idid not Want to use what the direction called for. They give you this piece of copper thread but it just did not look right.

    Hi all, I am sorry but I am going to start this build log with a ship already 1/2 completed. The hull was completed and modified the original direction to attempt to do a 'clinker-built' hull. The results are interesting but I already know that I would do it a different way in a future attempt. Mistakes were made (a few of them) My original intention was not to have a build log but like everything in life things change. This idea was to have a quick weekend build for learning and fun. It is all that just not quick (hahaha) Here is the ship as it is today. The box.

    All blocks are up and ready for the spars. I am going to start working on sails. Sewing and furling. Since I never used a sewing machine it is going to be a lot of fun. The admiral said she would help me with this process. It may take me sometime for pics and progress reports. In the meantime, I am also going to make a build log of a viking ship which was supposed to be a weekend build started over the summer. Well, a weekend build with 3 kids who am I kidding!

    Small Update.Tonight'sproduction.
  15. captgino
    First one is up! The direction for this kit are pretty bad or none existent. So I have decided to come up with a different way to attach this spar. I am pretty satisfied with the result , but not sure this is very historial.

    Pretty cool work tables. It is nice to have everything easily reachable. I am always looking for the one little thing. Great build log as well. I love these fishing ships from Brittany.

    Thank you Frank for your kind words!. I have a long road ahead of me. This site is extremely helpful and inspiring. I will likely do my sails like yours. JP
  19. captgino
    Very nice result !I look forward to see it in the cabin.
  20. captgino
    I like what you have done with the sails. Really enjoying watch this build.
  21. captgino
    Beautiful work! The pictures turned out great.
  22. captgino
    Pretty cool and ingenious. How long do they last with the sawdust?
  23. captgino
    Working on making the spars. Not sure this is a textbook technique but it is working pretty well.
  24. captgino
    Starting to attach blocks and working on the standing rigging. This is the part which makes me the more nervous. The plans are terrible so you spend more time trying to understand them than actually rigging. To attach the block, i was able to find some good videos on YouTube especially this one. Great technique from Bender!

    Very nice hull color! Cannot wait to see her free!
