RGL got a reaction from Adrieke in HMB Endeavour by RGL -FINISHED - Artesania Latina
There is a sense of achievement finally fitting the topgallants. The topgallant futtock shrouds and thimbles were attached first which gets really fiddly seizing them properly to the Topmast shrouds. Strangely, the masts ended up aligned! 12 shrouds and 4 backstays to go. Finally given the Endeavour's strong ties to Australia, a boxing day BBQ is always on the cards, so the BBQ photo.
Hope you all had a happy Christmas.

Bowspit cap, and horses and netting. As I said to slog I attached the blocks first to the cap. I've been dreading this part for years, but it came off quite easily really, only a days work in it for the netting.

I used the CC Photo etch fret. The crows feet thingy does not have enough holes! You'll have to do one by hand.

Cheers Captain Slog. The back is an old injury that comes and goes, it's a good excuse when the grass needs cutting and the cricket is on .
Have a good one,
Rowan D.

Thanks Jan.
I started to prepare the mast. The most difficult task for me was to make cheeks and front fish.

Ok, the whole mast tapers for the cheeks, with the green bit being full circumference. I did it on the lathe. I filed the sides above the green for the cheeks so they are fairly flush. The woulding was filed into the cheeks and used ratan for the hoops. The metal bands were just cut to appear as if they go under.

Last post of the year I promise! Bit of serendipity today as I actually read the plans and looked at the replica and the Topgallant shrouds have no ratlines! I'm finished with them! Shrouds and backstays in place. Lots of work on the bowsprit before I can add the last stay. next year it is.

Nice and square, but I'd do all the rope work and blocks before you stick it on for good

I hope your new place is planned around the ship!

RGL got a reaction from KevinR in Atlantic by KevinR - Scientific Models - schooner yacht - old kit started in 1988
This is the first Atlantic kit I have seen on this forum (or any other) I've seen, and the most beautiful ship. I'll be watching this with interest as it will be my next build after the Endeavour.

RGL reacted to KevinR in Atlantic by KevinR - Scientific Models - schooner yacht - old kit started in 1988
Yesterday while I was in the garage looking for tools I came across a model I started back in 1988/9. I never got a chance to finish the model because I joined the Navy. I thought this had been lost over the years so was a nice surprise.
I did not plan to start another build log until I was further along on the Ship's boat kit, but I need to soak some of the strips before I could continue. This gives me something to do while waiting on the other project.
I had completed the work on the hull and was working on the deck fixtures when i left off.
I believe I still have all of the parts.
The bulwark on the starboard side was cracked either from age or being banged around. All of the fixtures that had been fixed to the deck had fallen off.
Today I just plan to glue the crack in the bulwark. I cut a piece of bamboo to use as a spreader to push the bulwark out while the glue dried.
After the glue dries I will sand the crack and repaint the ship.

RGL got a reaction from BANYAN in HMB Endeavour by BANYAN - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:60 - circa 1768
Probably a bit too tight as it does kink a bit. The first shroud needs to be served all the way down to the deadeye to stop wear on the sail. I didn't fix my tops until I'd finished the shrouds as it let my fat fingers in to seize them. That being said, I never did get the deadeyes aligned properly but "meh"! At 1/64 some things just won't matter as there whole rigging thing makes it look so busy. Janos Caroline is just so perfect and neat it makes mine look like the cat did it. I've almost finished to top gallants so only a few ratlines to go.
