Stitched up every sails to get them ready to be added to the model. Next step is to prepare the stain for fabric to color some of the sails.

Thank you Derek. This is perfect. Great pictures and instructions to follow.

No I do not have a mill but I did ask Santa 🎅. I like the technique described above.
-
This is great. It is easy to implement. I will give it a try. Thank you.

Starting to work on the sails.. I decided to use the sails that came with the kit but to 'upgrade' the shape and the roping around. Opened the factory stitches, trace the shape from the plan and cut the excess. Glue a rope all around the perimeter. Final product.

Typically you would have multiple Sanding sessions starting with the lower number first, 200, 300, 400... This until the Hull is smooth to your desire.

Dead eyes attached to all shrouds. Attached one of the shrouds on the main Mast... From far.

Hi all, Is there a tutorial of this site on how to make blocks?
-
Rigging is starting... I glued the masts. Here is an example of one of the pulley. I dry brushed steel color paint. Shrouds served and added to the ship

The kit did not come with a water pump. No problem. The detailed plans I purchased had a pump. Only challenge the scale was 1/25 when the ship is 1/50. The goal was this. Step by step. I have to paint it now. Here is the fruit of 5 hours of work... 😊

Back with the Marie-Jeanne. I have missed working on this project. Nothing too big. Finishing up (painting, staining,...) the different masts and spars Attaching various blocks and belaying pins throughout the desk. This will making it easier for the later part of the build. Working on the Dead-eyes for the stern of the ship. They were solder to a pin and blackened. Here they are mounted. The next small project is the making of 3 small. Pulleys.

Thank you for your comments. You brought up a good point. I will reach out to her teacher and see if she is interested such as a session.

Thank you! Yes, it is freehanded. I draw a shape with a pencil and use the fine tip paint brush with gold paint. My original plan was to use a pen with liquid gold but it was dry (too old). At the end, the brush was just fine.

Ok. I have started this build two months ago. My goal was to give it to my daughter school for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, life happen and I was not able to complete this build during the short time. One more month and a half would have been great. This is where I am now. I am going to take a break to allow me to go back and finish the Marie Jeanne.

Continue to work on the beakhead.

Worked on the beakhead. I had the trim the kit part à bit for a nice fit. Planked these parts.

Painting.... I think I am done with the most of it.
-
Painting and colored trim work...
-
Worked on the rudder. Painted... Starting to work on painting of the Hull.
-
Watching paint drying... 😁
-
Applied stained wood filler and golden oak stain. Prepared for the lower Hull painting While the primer is drying, I started to work on the rudder.
-
Just finished the second planking on the top part of the Hull. It was probably my least favorite part of the build so far. I don't know what it was about but I just didn't like to do it and was looking forward to be done with it. I drilled all the holes to simulate the tree nails. I will be traveling for the next 2 weeks sono further progress would be expected.
