    Telp got a reaction from mtaylor in Ratlines   
    Look good indeed, you can always brush some thinned down matt black acrylic paint over the joints to get rid of any shine. ;-)

    Telp got a reaction from Piet in HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64   
    Woh... having just joined the forums I thought I would take a look at what is achievable with patience and a keen eye for perfection, this is just amazing, I am starting out on a few small boats to try and learn as much as I can as I saw this model a few months ago and told myself I would do something like this one day. That day may be a few years away yet, but what a fantastic looking ship you are creating. I do not think I have ever spent Two hours reading a thread from start to finish before, really looking forwards to seeing how this lady looks once finished. Thanks for the posting, really has given me some inspiration as to what to aim for one day.

    Hi sjors, my name is Terry, just used the Telp one as it is easier to remember. I have opened a build thread which I will now start to work with on Sunday, need to do a few photos as the longboat is three quarters finished, I just tried to do as much as possible to test my limits, I am going to give the pickle a go for my next build and I will start a build log proper for that one. I think the beauty of this hobby is seeing how people get through difficult phases, best wishes.

    RonaldB - Hi - yes the windows were a scratch built but not sure what 'resign sloops' are but if they are not in the box then I either bought them or made them

    Wish you well with your Supply build and will look forward to it with interest and can certainly help you if you require any as I am sure the others on here who also have built Supply will like to help.

    Regards

    Doug

    Telp got a reaction from Sjors in HMB Endeavour longboat by Telp - FINISHED - Artesania Latina   
    Hi all
     
    I am new to the site and hopefully as soon as I get some pictures up I can show where I have got to with this my first build. I have now reached the rigging stage and like many a newbie I am daunted to say the least. I have already sited the main mast and the bow mast before I read that it is best not to do so prior to doing some work on them. I am now in the throws of putting together tackle blocks however my issue now is that from what I can see I need to put the sails on the masts which then makes it very difficult to site the blocks. My question is as such, can I just rig the boat first and then try and put the sails in place or is there a trick or two I can learn?
     
    I am doing loads of reading as I want to prepare a lot of the items as close to how they should be made as possible, I am taking things pretty slow and will attempt a few newbie builds which will give me the principles to try something bigger in the future. If anyone has built this model I would be grateful for any decent pictures as the rigging instructions with this kit are near on hopeless to someone who has no real idea. Thank for any help and I will get some pics up tomorrow hopefully before I go and see the Who live in London on Saturday.
