Telp got a reaction from EJ_L in Le Soleil Royal by EJ_L - FINISHED - Sergal - Scale 1:77 - 1669 Version
Just spotted this build E.J, looking glorious indeed so I think I shall pull up a plank to sit on and watch if I may. Would love to know how you wire up lights ect as its something I'd like to attempt but I don't have the technical know how.
regards

Telp got a reaction from Beef Wellington in HM Brig Supply by Telp - Caldercraft - 1:64
The brig is now moving along nicely, a few mishaps that need sorting will be sorted and I am now adding some rigging to the foremast, the stays and backstays. I have rigged the heart blocks as best as I could make out from reading about seizing ect, so hopefully this is reasonably ok. Am loving this build, the ship masters will see issues I'm sure but the learning kerb is wonderful. Pictures added up to now as to where I am. Cheers all.

She is an utter beauty and for me a real gem as Pegasus is going to be my next project so thank you indeed for a brilliant set of pictures and a wonderful set of tips.

Telp reacted to AndrewW in HMS Endeavour Longboat by AndrewW - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 - First wooden ship build
Thanks for the further information Rick. In the end I decided to ditch the sails and now she looks awfully like yours
Telp, thanks for the information as well. I had considered gluing the parell beads, but it felt wrong. Happy with the solution of losing the sails though. I am very keen to hear how you are getting on with your HM Brig Supply as a second model? I am very keen on that model my heart says yes but my head says pick something with a single mast!
Anyways, after a couple of hours of sail removal and re-rigging. She is complete. Done. Dusted.
Only problem now is I have nothing to do ... time to make a decision on the next model.
Sorry about the rubbish iPhone photos, will take better photos that do her justice tomorrow in the sunlight.

Telp got a reaction from AndrewW in HMS Endeavour Longboat by AndrewW - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:50 - First wooden ship build
Hi Andrew, the longboat is a great little project that does get you hitting the ground running, although small, she offers a bit of everything for sure.
The cantering of the bottom gaff as mentioned is positioned as such by being secured to a block along the centre of the deck just below the gaff and is then rigged.
the upper gaff issue is a pain, I worked around it by raising the gaff to it upper position on the mast, I held it in place with a small clamp and then tightened the rigging, I also placed a few drops of glue where the parell beads are, this did help keep it in place.
as said, she is a tiny little lady but I felt it made working on her harder as everything is so small against man fingers. I did add some pics to my build log but if you need any of a particular area let me know. Atb

Telp got a reaction from pompey2 in HMS Trincomalee
Just watched a bit on TV about HMS Trincomalee where she is docked in Hartlepool in the UK. If no one has heard of this ship she is a total beauty and well worth doing a google search on. Would love to know if a model to build exists for this ship anywhere.
Regards

Telp got a reaction from Beef Wellington in HM Brig Supply by Telp - Caldercraft - 1:64
Progress continues and I have just finished the forwards shrouds and rat lines, thankfully I left the yards off as it would have been nothing short of a nightmare seeing as these were the first time I'd had a go. Now starting on the main mast rats so more fun to come. So onwards and upwards as they say.

Telp got a reaction from Canute in Prepare wood for acrilyc paint
Another good way is to do a mix of 50/50 white glue and water, give it a good stir and then brush a light coat over the part. Once dry use one of those washing up pads, the green ones are ok to gently rub down the part, then paint. No odurs, no mess. Just for info.... Most if not all paints now sold in the UK come under European safety rules, so there should be no nasties in any paint unless it is licensed for specialist use and then the operator would be trained as such.

Telp got a reaction from MEDDO in HM Brig Supply by Telp - Caldercraft - 1:64
Well work has been on going, have finished the foremast and have used the plans and looked at the great supply blogs in here to get some ideas. I did the mast work off the ship and it was much easier so thanks for the advice. The main yard on the foremast is only pinned for now to allow me to do the shrouds so I can remove it, just placed it there to give me something to use when setting up the mount. Now have the main mast yards to do so hopefully it's all moving along.

Telp got a reaction from Robert29 in HMS Victory 1805 by Robert29 - FINISHED - Caldercraft - Scale 1:72
Robert, what is the overall voltage that you are going to use for your lights, can this sort of system run say from a single 9v battery or is this done using something like a 12v system. I am reasonable with electrics and was looking at this sort of idea on a later model.
Many thanks

Woah, she is an utter beauty, I am toying with looking at a Pegasus build after I have finished my supply and you have done a beautiful job indeed. The log is superb to say the least and what a log to follow for the future. Many thanks for making my mind up for me. ;-)

Telp got a reaction from ccoyle in HM Brig Supply by Telp - Caldercraft - 1:64
Well it's been a little while since I posted anything of relevance, things came to a grinding halt due to the wife suffering a serious illness over that time, but she's on the mend now.
most of the hull of the ship is finished as such and I am making a start on the masts, I have them off the ship to try and do as much rigging prep prior to installing them. Have had great fun learning to rig small dead eyes and blocks and have made a start on the rat lines and shrouds, all very finicky but a lot of enjoyment. I'll post more pics once I have the masts fitted, but just to say all is going well and taking my time is helping me understand each part as I proceed. Thanks all.

I've seen quite a few posts referencing that these exist and apparently some are having a hard time to find them. I hope Chuck doesn't mind but I'm putting the links here.

Telp reacted to JerryTodd in HMS Trincomalee
Some pics I found online over the years showing Trin out of her dock, in drydock, and other a-typical angles.
I never did get why they set her up with the yards in the set positions.
