Foremast went faster and nicer. There is still main mast, and the interesting part begins ))

So I'm coming back little by little. Today I finally finished mizzen mast. It was a long process of tries and fails. For me it's harder to work with a wood than with a plastic. But I'm pretty happy with the result. I hope the rest of the masts will make faster.
-
Wow, looks like a great model to build. I'm building my Black Pearl and was looking on this model. But at the moment will just watch your build. I'm a little bit disappointed by the issues that you've mentioned about this kit: single planking, plywood gunports and bow fillers. Looks like you have quite an extra work. I guess double planking could fix all of this issues, but I'm not sure is there enough material for it. As for overall plans or references, I know about two scratch projects, one from Japanese guy and another from Russian that could help.
-
Wow, looks really cool, especially the sails. I love it.
-
Thanks for your kind words. I feel like I went a bit too much with the details and now how to rest. Because main improvements I planned for the rigging and it's overwhelming. Do you have photos of your version of BP? I heard that there is another Pirate Ship from Zvezda and only difference is extra decorations like figures on the nose and trunk.
-
I rest a bit from actual building but read a lot about masting and rigging. I already learned a lot of terms, but still there are so many things that I don't understand or rather can't find. Usually I have to go through couple of books to finally find something. Is it usual thing, or I read wrong books?) But I guess it's classic - Anderson, Petersson, Mondfeld. But despite that I managed to build a mizzen mast and topmast.

I was always into the ships, and couple years ago I visited Amsterdam Navy museum. There is a real-scale replica of ship Amsterdam, and it was amazing. I guess now, while building my ship it would be even greater experience.

Wow, thanks for the support, it means a lot. I'm from relatively safe region far from the front line, so I have a luxury to do hobbies. As for the Endeavour it was couple of years ago. I didn't have enough experience, the kit and instructions were poor so I went to the forum for help. But found a wrong community with a very high standards and no possibility to fail. So I gave up soon, and throw the hull out. But now lesson learned, I'm here with a great and supporting community, building my Black Pearl and reading other builds, looking for my next model.
-
It's a beautiful ship and amazing model you've done. As for the first model it's impressive. My first wooden model was HMS Endeavour, but it was too overwhelming that I gave up after first layer of planking. Now I'm building a plastic ship, but looking for my New first wooden )) And I really like Supply.
-
Ladies and gentlemens, the deck part is officially done! Made a photosession, now I'm going to take a little brake and go to the interesting part )) BTW my working desk looks like the sea )
-
The figurehead is amazing, I just primed it but couldn't wait to try it. Now she is truly The Black Pearl. There are also cool guys on the "transom?" but will install them tomorrow.
-
Thanks. I already tested masts and I plan to leave only "lower" masts plastic but with wooden rods inside and replace all the top masts with wooden. As for the spars, I guess it would be easier to make them from scratch than cut them off from the sails ))
-
Ok, I finally did it - all the cannons. I'm not completely satisfied with the result, but in general they look good. It was a nightmare to work with ropes and superglue. It sticks to everything but the ropes )) And it leaves white spots. Is there anything better to use? So here is what I have at the moment. This is my rope factory ) And this is how full rigged cannons look. To reward myself after this, I made my first proper rigging - gammoning of the bowsprit. It was a pleasure to work with and the result is very satisfying. Then installed decorations around it. Tried my modern lifeboat, but it didn't fit so I'll proceed with the old-school one I'm not sure what is the proper way to tie it up, can you suggest? Decided to improve it a bit and made a sail on the spar. As my deck part is almost finished, I also want to add some stuff on it. At the moment I have couple of barrels. But it still looks empty, especially the poop deck. What can I add more? Maybe some boxes, buckets, some ropes. I would appreciate if you can give me some references.
