  1. its been a busy holiday season for sure, and now im hoping to hope back into the build, im stilling wondering how is the best way to drill the mast holes.
  2. well if i didnt already know it was a model, id say these pictures of a ship yard. along for the ride
  3. that ram is a work of art, the whole thing is amazing, cant wait to see her sail. maybe set up a mock hull to have fun ramming?
  4. rear wale pinned for gluing gunwales glued in place one issue i will have to deal with is the rear wale is a bit too wide, im going to have to slim it down to have the rails fit properly
  5. quick update, i was able to get the gunwales glued on, also was able to mark the water line. a task made harder by the fact the solid hull and plans differ. ill get some pictures up when i can and see what you all think. im thinking of maybe planing the upper hull and wales. we will see.
  6. so the tail end we see seized to the shroud, comes from the opposite shroud?
  7. so if i understand you correctly the odd shroud on both the starboard and port sides are connected in a similar way the regular shroud pairs are? and the tackle pendant is essentally a loop in the shroud that a block on the rest of the shroud loops through?
  8. the splice is just like the loop made by the shroud pair?
  9. how do i measure shroud pairs? also how does the odd shroud get attached to the mast?
  10. my plan was to get the self adhesive copper sheeting they use in stained glass works.
  11. what should i use to seal a solid hull so i can attach copper sheathing?
  12. just absolutely beautiful Dave, when i built this ship i will spend even more time than i already do on this build log.
  13. new gunwales soaking in hot water clamped to the sides to dry new bow stem rough cut with coping saw bow stem little cleaner
  14. it seams some of the edges lifted up a little bit, not a huge deal, because i plan on gluing some wood in the grove all the way around
  15. Finally got some work done, I glued the deck to hull but there is going to be sections I will need sand down. I used pins to help align the center line and mast pilot holes. I will upload pictures when I get onto my computer because I can't get the image imbedment from photobuckets mobile app
  16. thanks for the very detailed description of what to do, really a great help.
  17. has anyone here come up with a way to drill mast holes without a drill press or mill?
  18. stunning work, you must post a picture of the finished ship with the doctor. very much enjoying this build log
  19. The plans show them more or less straight up perpendicular to the water line. It's also a solid hull so anything is possible
  20. were the masts perpendicular to the deck or water line? specifically on the HMS bounty or similar vessel
