Thanks for the likes and positive comments. 1966, then I was 2 years old ... These Beagle and Bounty kits apparently recall a lot of memories for some of us. Meanwhile Hoera, Hoera. Standing rigging is finished. Started with the build of a base plate. An old photo frame that my wife wanted to throw away. The inside is filled with a wooden plate And no I don't build a railroad drilling holes for 2 screws Drilling holes in the keel. ( i should have done much earlier, this was a bit stressful) Painted And the model screwed onto the plate. Before screwing, liquid plastic glue has been put into the holes of the keel. This way the screw goes in easily and thread is "tapped" into the holes. There will be extra supports on the sides. 1 unpainted test model is ready The blocks that I have now (scale 1/100 of a Heller Soleyl Royal) are unfortunately too large for the running rigging. I have made 1 unpainted (test)block in plastic. The wooden blocks that you find in most wooden kits served as an example. The hole in the block is diameter 0.7 mm. Thanks for following

Hello And

How is a wooden ship built? Trough this detailed lesson i am beginning to understand something of it. Thanks !!
-
Great work So many electrical wires, and everything connected correctly. If I have to do this, a short circuit right away...

Hello and

Great Victory

Thanks again for the nice comments and likes. The rigging continues. Started with the schrouds on the top masts. These thin parts of the plastic masts are very fragile. It is not easy to do rigging to these flexible pieces. It would have been better to replace this plastic with wooden parts in advance, i think. Thanks for following

Nice work on the rigging. Great carriages for the cannons

Small update. One thing I have learned on this forum is. If you don't like something you've built. Remove it and rebuild it a 2nd time. Not really neat and correct. So remove and rebuild. New parts in progress and painted Better, except the visible error (arrow) Addet some black paint, error "invisible" Not entirely correct but much better. Did this on all the 3 masts. Thanks for following.

No jig has been used. Everything is done "on sight". Make the deadeyes, drill holes and put in place. For me, plastic ship model building is easier than wooden ship model building. Let's say it is something like the"fingerspitzengefühl" build up after more then 1400 plastic models.) Thanks, The space to work easily on this scale is indeed rather limited. And this space is becoming less and less as more and more ropes are added. So the hardest part is yet to come

None, i cheat First assemble the deadeyes on the right place and glue with extra thin glue (Tamiya) Allow to dry (24h !) Only after that tie it to the lower schrouds Ready

Beautiful models and a great story.

I think it looks like something like this IN TO SURPRISE Suprise , a bomb falls from the sky on your head...

A nice model, great work.

Thank you all for the nice comments and likes Some progress is made on the standing rigging I encountered a problem attaching the deadeyes to the crow's nest. The solution found is not correct as it really was, but well suited for this small scale. The photos probably explain the method better than a long text in my google translate English. Current state Thanks for following

Well done 👍 An idea. You still have to start your masts and standing rigging. I would wait with the anchors until this is done. They can get in the way

As always great work. But, why is someone from my family glued to your model? Greetings from Backer ( My last name is De Backer)😉
