so painting weekend. some ornaments added and stern painted. I also plan an additional lifeboat at the stern. nice sunday everyone
-
hallo, so all cannons are removed and painted. I also got some ornaments on ebay which I plan to add here and there. Critical phase for me in the building process for me. I didn´t liked it to remove the cannons. But at least I hope it will fit and looks better in the end.

Hello Ray, I really like your way of buildung ships. I learned a lot from your build log. And the Diana I also want to build once in a while. keep up the brilliant work. regards ludger

hello yeah david I am not sure yet. I think I will not do it. thank you mark, now I feel shy because I have seen what you are able to build It is my first wood ship. I only build three other for my modelrailway but from plastic and years ago yesterday it was time to clean up my workingplace. It was important because I was to confused and I was not sure what to do next. After that I worked on coils for the coffienägel (sorry do not know the english word - is there somewhere an overview for the nautical english terms?????? help please !!! ). Also I read in my book that a ship needs a stove pipe. So I did one by myself. And I build an own rudder because the one from the ship is not realistic. But the rudder is not ready yet. So enjoy the pictures and thanks everyone for following. A nice sunday to everyone. It is time for formula one - Monza

picture of simulated bolts on the deck
-
What do you and everyone else who is reading this, thinking about simulate bolts on the outside planking of the hull ??
-
I would say one hour for one cannon David without replacing. But I need additional parts so I have to order them. Currently I am switching around on the ship here and there working on several small details. I bought me a pencil for example, waterproof, to simulate the bolts on the deck.
-
small update. just working on coils
-
Great work till yet and thank you for the pictures of the occre workbench. I also want to buy me this one. regards ludger
-
so here is a new solution which is easier to get it back into place. for the rest cannons I will use this way.
-
thank you david. so first cannon is back in place. the distance between the blocks is to short... and what was supposed to be a joke becomes bitter truth. it is very difficult to reach everything. it took me four hours for one gun and because of the fact that I have to drill additional holes there is the risk to destroy the rigging of the fore mast. anyway. here some pictures. regards ludger
-
So first gun is removed and allready painted. Currently working on the rigging of the cannon. Detailed soultions are limited through the scale and my own skills/ big fingers
-
hello David! as I learned from your build, my chains are in the wrong angle. but I will not go to change it again. it would take forever. so let us keep it as a secret yeah the shrouds. i just realize, that my way is ok . so forget what I was saying. My book shows me , that I am still on the right way to get the shrouds connect to the fore mast today I received the barrels and cannon balls
-
working on the shrouds. next ship I will try another way
-
wait until you start with the shrouds this takes forever
-
some more, different background. next bigger image size is above two mb. so no better images possible
-
so some picture with my camera. still working on the optimum size of the picture. you can see my progress on the fore mast and why I am not happy with the rigging of my cannons. I wasn´t working on the ship much over the weekend. On friday I went to the dentist and I had to handle the pain over the weekend :/ best regards ludger
-
and david, i need maybe plus three hours more, because I showed my family your ship and they told me, that I have to paint my stern after they saw your stern. but I will use different colours
-
Hello hello everbody I think I will follow some historical things in the future. but not every detail. This decission has everyone to do for his/herself. At least I have a huge respect to everyone who tries to build a ship from wood. I also have 6 rc cars, two rc helicopters and a model railway in scale 1/160. But this build was really a challenge so far for me and I think it will take at least 100 hours more to finish it. The sails and strings need a lot of time and I want change some things like the rigging of the cannons. For this I ordered some spare parts. I will try to add some more detailed pictures this weekend. best regards ludger
-
and here some pictures of the tools I used for coppering and a closeup. could be better the result, but for me it is ok. I finished it with zapon varnish
-
Hello David and everyone else who is watching this build. Sure your are allowed to follow! ofcourse you are welcome. I am delighted for every response. I did not use beeswax on the strings because I am not aware of this technique yet. Until yet I rather build the ship very stricked out of the box. last week I bought me a german book about historical modelshipbuilding. I started reading and quick realized that i maid a lot of mistakes. but hey... it is my first wooden ship and it is progress of learning. I also have a little problem that I am not familiar with all these special words which describe all the parts of a ship. in my book there is a picture of a ship in detail with all the names. I think I will translate them into english. it would be good for a better communication here. for my ship I plan also to add some barrels, pirate figures and cannonballs. probably i will remove the cannon to paint them and install some nice rigging.but now some pictures from yesterday. so far, so long, hang on
-
nice build log. it gave me some inspirations for the build of my corsair in case of the sails and barrels. thank you!
-
sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. they were shot with my tablet. from next week on i will use a canon camera. regards ludger
