captgino reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Continuation: Equipment of the Cross Bramrah – Vergue de perruche
A moment of inattention results in the following:
At the broken point the mizzen topgallant yard is just 1.9 mm in diameter. Annoying, but gluing is not an option.
Sequel follows …

Thank you! Initially, I believed the build would be complete in just 1.5 years, but how mistaken I was—it's turned out to be a 6-year journey. LOL. I've been observing your progress from the early stages. Looking forward to seeing you get back at it😊

captgino got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Mayflower by captgino - Model Shipways - 5/32 Scale
After hours of work, I finally completed the ratlines on the ship's rigging. Although the task was not particularly difficult, it was incredibly tedious, and my hands were tired from tying countless knots. But the sense of accomplishment I feel now that it's done is well worth it. I'm eager to move on to the next step and start working on the standing rigging. Regardless, I'm excited to keep making progress on this project and see it come together piece by piece.

Just found this despite trying to search for someone else building a Mayflower back in 2022. But it’s never too late. Your build is looking awesome.
Cheers,
Dave

captgino reacted to Tobias in LE ROCHEFORT 1787 by Tobias - 1:36 - Harbor Yacht from ANCRE monograph
A little insight into my workshop, Le Coureur is in the top right of the display case, next to it on the shelf is my first model of the whaler Essex, on the bottom right is La Palme and on the left is Le Rochefort.
The next step was to grind or scrape the inside. This is only done with various scrapers, then I inserted and adjusted all the wedges.

It still have to do final clean and blackening.
Much better in my opinion. 😊

Last minute enhancement. Remove the plastic buoys from the ship. Cut off the fake roping and redid with real rope.
