Overworked724 got a reaction from paulsutcliffe in Sultana by Overworked724 (Patrick) – FINISHED - Model Shipways – Scale 1:64 – Solid Hull – First Wooden Model Ship
And once again. I would like to say...tales of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. But my Shipyard has become a bit dusty of late...as my work has again gotten in the way.
My my wife has subsequently sent me to my ‘room’ to get me out of her hair. 😆

Made a few attempts at scratch building the wooden cleats...I think I could probably manage to make some decent ones given some additional time in improving my technique. But I still have a limited skill set, and those bloody things are tiny...so decided to opt on the side of the leisure enjoyment of my build. Will simply stay with the laser cut cleats for the remainder of the build and ignore (with extreme prejudice) the cast metal cleats. This way I can ensure they are reproducible as well as save myself some aggravation in toiling with parts that are so small.
So - another deviation from Chuck's fantastic practicum. Got some wooden 3mm and 5mm cleat (laser cut), as well as some 5mm shroud cleats (laser cut) - which was an afterthought and, frankly, a good idea. They were cheap and came in a pack of like 40-50...so they should last me a good long while and can be used for other builds.
Moving on...and I do not feel like I cheated...but made a necessary modification to a severely dated kit.

Made another yard. Slow but steady progress.
But HEY!! Here is another pic of my Ship with BALLS!!!
(Yeah, I said it. The Admiral didn’t laugh either.).

Those Britannia cleats do seem oversized. Decided to order some cleats (3mm) from Syren (cheap). Laser cut cleats from wood seem like a better option when I consider trying to jam seven of them around the main and foremast. We shall see.
Also completed sanding out the yards.
Moving on....

Hello again! It might have taken a while, but I had fun with it! I finished the outer hull planking. I think I enjoyed it more this time because I had a better idea of what I was doing. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Lou! You and I have the same Admiral I swear. Distance is relative nowadays. She doesn’t trust me much, especially in her kitchen!!!!
She is Japanese. So we have quite a bit of family there. But she is traveling for family, I’m traveling for work. We’ll meet up in Tokyo.
And to your our first question...no. I’m not adult enough to be left alone. But my childish cuteness seems to keep her coming back.
