Those nails you have used are very nice looking, will change mine from the brass to your black ones, what model railroad co. did they come from? Keep up the excellent work, will follow your build and used your expertise! -
Now all of the decoration is on, hope they stay on !
-
almost finished with the cannons. I was going to post more but I can't find where on the computor I put them
-
Too bad that isn't real gold ! Then I could sell the ship for $100 dollars
-
Doing a couple of cannons, tedious work.
-
Here is my dry dock.
-
Had to curve the channel down to match the hull then added another piece of wood under the channel when glued to the hull.
-
Finished up with the gun port lids without loosing any more in the hull.
-
had to do a little grinding on the pieces to make them fit. Either they didn't make them right or I was putting them in the wrong place--too late now
-
Beginning to look more like a Boat, huh?
-
So far no major misstakes, except for spelling.
-
finished! on to something else.
-
This was very easy but the plans were not very good for me, could have been better.
-
A few of the hatches. a little anvil and the weight of a hammer helped with the glueing.
-
These almost sent me to a mental hospital !
-
Doing the gun doors I decided to plank the outside of the doors. After I droped one of the doors in the hull, I blocked the holes with tissue paper !
-
finishing up planking, my favorite part of ship building.
-
more of the second planking, my choice of woods were not supplied in the kit.
-
put red paint on the end of the cannon and placed it up against the side so I knew how high to drill the openning. and the last pic, ready for 2nd planking.
-
I should have measured twice befor cutting the gun ports. You can see the pencil marks where I have to move the ports and after I moved them and filled them in with wood. At least it was done on the first planking !
-
coming along . When it comes to deck items, including the inside bulkheads, I use what I thing looks good.
-
Now that I have the first layer done, come the sanding .
-
when I am taperring wood, I fine it better if I tape them down, keeps them from slipping.
-
More planking and cutting cannon ports.
