Not willing to be reiterative, but what you've accoplished is outstanding, I have the Model Shipways old solid hull kit, that may father never finiched. Regretfully he passed away last year. Now I wnt to hollow thos solid hull and follow some of your steps.

The drawings though were too old, so I'm trying to find out if the old Yelloy box solid hull kit has the same mesures as the new plank on bulkhead kit. Amazing and impecable result Richard, I would like to see her with sails.

Kind Regards

I was wondering how I would do the scroll around the hawse pipe, I tried to carve the scroll but the kit supplied wood is no good for this so thought about  painting it but trying to make both the same 🤔

So came up with making the scroll from .018" brass rod, using a pattern from LB Jensons book, in the book it does say ( these were drawn free hand cutting in with a chisel and painting with gold leaf) and also says scrolls done in summer seemed to have more knobs than those done in winter, being in flower, so to speak.

 

This is the start of the two scrolls as you can see there were some very small parts to solder together.

This level of detail is really remarcable, whta a dedicated Passion are you puting is this Blunose. Please accept my most profound congratulatyion!

No, I brought it back to the US where I was suposed to finish it a couple of yeras ago. I came back to Chile to my Dads funeral and I am stuck here trying to get back.

Hahaha, the Rigging of your Heller Victory will take you a lot of time anyway I can see that yoy've got a very good serving machine, it looks great with the Dafisimus Photoetch Upgrade by the way!

Thank you druxey for your confimation. Very appreciated!

 

A little project in between, the Vic's fire buckets on the railing of the cabin deck.





And since the good pieces are made of leather and not metal, I gave them a little deformation as a little dafinistic touch.



XXXDAn

Eimer sind aber echt Geil Dafi!!!! Deswegen ist Dafisimus!!

Buckets are outstanding Dafi!

I didn't see your last question, plaese acept ,y apologies. 

I guess so-

Thank you very much for your warning Grant!

Eduardo

Thanks Henrick, I´m following the buil of your ship as well.

There are many mistakes to correct, hoping that the second plank layer will hide. It is a very complicated shape though..

Thank you Bill!

Lack of experience showing off! I´ve had a hard time adjusting and accommodating the Bown's planks

Here is a little update , 

very usefully jig for marking vertical lines on the ship i hope it will help other builders

 

so, here i have marked the bulkheads lines on the first plank and also the pattern of the butt shift system on the middle of the ship .. 

but i will talk about this method later ..

here is some pictures :

Best regards,

Michael.

Beautiful planking!!! And very interesting gadgets, thanks a lot for sharing Michael!

During the planking process, I would recommend those who are about to start the Mamoli kit to cover these metal gun barrel carriers.

It is too time-consuming to cut that many plank pieces in between the gun ports. Instead, I would recommend attaching the entire plank, covering the gun ports, and then making the openings.

I keep going, this part is extremely tricky

I keep going!

I´ve just added another plank and finished drilling some perforations indicated for bowsprit secure ropes.

Since ths is my first plank on bulkhead kit, I am so proud, that I wanted to share another view of my progress.

Thanks a lot Bill! I wanted to do the same but the better ones are far mor expensible an way bigger!

Advancing with the gratings. The quality of the Kit's gratings isn't that good, I had to use Model Shipway's.

I also decided to enlarge the lower deck that can be seen through these openings. I didn´t like the fact that the bulkheads could be seen.

Here are some pictures of my first planks (Hull and Deck)

I had this Kit for 22 years, and I didn´t start it because  I never felt confident enough to build a plank on frame kit, and additionally, I had the idea that I got the worse kit available in the market till I saw Y.T Victory in another site.

Dan,

Alles sieht so gut aus!, genau wie beim HMS Victory. Villeicht musst Du auch Fotoätzteile wie die Dafisimus?

Mr. Closehaul

You made an amazing piece of maritime decoration. Hull lines are very elegant!   I guess it´s a unique piece since there are a just few Atlantic’s to see. I really like the ships selection from Bluejacket. I would bet that you enjoy looking your accomplishment every single day!
