USF Confederacy by Rustyj - FINISHED
Trussben replied to Rustyj's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Yea Rusty. Thanks so much for rebuilding your Confed log, it's such a great help for me to see your work, just hope Chuck and Chris repost theirs as well. 1 question on the stern framing, I see when you had the template on there for marking the sill positions you lined up the dotted line at the bottom of the template with the top of the upper counter, did this line up correctly with everything else afterwards? I think mine maybe slightly too high and I will have to re do them. Ben -
JP, Have to agree with the others, the run of the planking looks very good, after you add the garboard go back and do another load of measurements and adjust your battern to suit, I think your doing great. Ben

Hi Paul, As the others have said, It will be a real treat to watch from the beginning as such, Those original photos are great! ben

Very nice work there Jim, I also have the ECHO to build but must finish at least one of my builds before the Admiral will allow me to start another, in the meantime I am getting the nesscary tools to be able to do it justice. I will follow you log with great interest. Ben -
Hi Paul, Glad you are back, didn't feel the same without your mighty ship model. I hope you consider re posting all of your old pictures, would be a loss to the forum if not as there was some truly inspiring work you did and all those amazing details you manage to create. Look forward to seeing the log continue. Ben

Limber boards turned out great there Rusty, I think it was me who asked if you were going to add them. Sorry for the extra work but it was worth it! Ben

Hi Aldo, and welcome back home, Glad to see you are continuing the pegasus, I will follow along.. ben

Hey JP, Looks like your off and running with the hull planking, VERY nice work up to now. It would appear that you planking plan is working well - the symetry when looking in the picture at the stem is good, If you can keep it within 1/32" you are doing great. Iam now getting auto updated whenever you post on your log so I will be following along. ben

Good to see the Half Moon back Anja. ben

Very glad you are back in the saddle with your logs Sjors, now we need to see how the balance of power shifts for the sjorsian wars again! Lol Ben

Hey Augie, I just noticed that the Syren build logs are now grouped in with the build logs for kits and not in its own section like before! So you've been transferred in with all of us ruffians. So glad your back mate, I expect to be enjoying the re hashed jokes immediately. Lol. Ben

Nice to see you back Ron, I do hope you can recover all your old pictures, would be a great loss to the site not to have them. Ben

Oarlocks and Horse added, using supplied wire from kit, oarlocks will be painted red to match. Friezes were added, I had to resize them down to 88% of original to get the sizing to fit, then I sprayed them with artists fixative to stop it from fading, then I used rubber cement on both surfaces to glue them on. Final pic shows it next to her big sister ( USF Confederacy ), for which I will have to build 2 slightly smaller ( 3/16" scale ) ships boats. This marks an end to all the old pics up to now, I am currently building and painting all of the mast and spars and their associated metal work, more pics to follow with comments always welcome. ben
