texxn5 got a reaction from Landlubber Mike in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
Hello Guys, I am happy to be back in the shipyards again. I know many of you have missed me, and I greatly appreciate that. In the jest of this Forum, I please ask you to refrain from the "welcome backs" and the yada yada that could go with it. I know many of you know what I'm talking about. I will be posting photo's shortly of the progress that has been made during my absence from the yard. Please PM or email me at: email address removed by moderator to prevent spamming should any one need to discuss something out of the build logs, since we are trying to keep the build logs primarily ship related. Let's liven this place up some and get to posting update pictures and discussions and quit looking over our shoulders--- we Are among friends here. We should police ourselves if you know what I mean. More to come a little later, now let's start livening this "morgue" up again and keep up the good work all of you are doing......

Now for the third stanchion and the bracing for the roof which will come after some more detailing underneath and prior to the attachment of the roof top.

The problem with the skylight is corrected. The Deck House & Berth are also finished. Both are attached to the ship now, and it is time to move on. I'll leave my comments or descriptions at that.

At this point the Skylight has been rebuilt and the Deck House & Berth have been constructed and glued to the deck.

The next several posts that I'm going to make will mainly be a series of photos mainly for the benefit of future builders of this ship as it really isn't documented very well in the instructions and to the best of my knowledge no one else is building it on this Forum. So, bear with me as I can only post 3 pictures at a time and I have several. I'll try to leave out the multiple views, but will try to show enough details for someone to see what it is supposed to look like. As far as documentation goes, ME provides good blueprint/plans, but one needs to understand how to read them, and realize that there are mutiple views on several different sheets to give you the correct 3 dimensional picture.

There is a third stanchion, but first I had to build the Vegetable Bin which is on deck and under the structure.

Here is the progression of stanchions...they have to be cut into the rails or notched as required, then painted into the sidelines of the hull both black and white striped.

JP had the user name a little scrambled. Don't know if it helps but I had a harpoon and a lance I bought up at Mystic some 40, aye 40-odd years ago. As I recall, the wooden handle was hexagonal in shape, maybe 3 1/2" across the flats and the entire harpoon about 7' long.

This will pretty much bring this log up to date as to where I am. The tops of the braces are not painted to allow for a good glue joint when the roof is applied. Now I have the Main Hatch, and then some details for underneath the roof to do.
