texxn5 got a reaction from GLakie in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
Thanks George, Piet and Mike for the likes and comments - much appreciated. Yeah, I'm pleased at the way she's shaping up now. The pace has slowed down now since I'm doing things other that ship building, but I like what I've got done in between. I'll keep trying to update as things change. I'm going to try to get some work done on the Main Lower Topsail yard today and over the next few days. Yeah, Mike, I was hoping you'd be starting your Morgan next so I would have someone to bounce things off of, but later I guess.

John, your Morgan is fantastic. Every time I come to your log I regret starting other kits on my shelf than the Morgan. Really great job!

Beautiful looking yard John. Great in heaving a lathe that can take a long piece of wood!
Cheers,

Off and on this week I've been working on the Mizzen Mast, Crossjack, and Main lower yard and rigging. Details are on my website, and the following photos show a little progress. Had to use my Proxxon DB 250 Lathe and the 4-jaw chuck to turn the yard, then added all the goodies to the yard prior to paintting and mounting the yard.

Hung the yard, then added the lifts and the leech and bunt lines. Then finished all the rigging for it except the braces and clew lines which will be added as we go later in the rigging.

Got an hour in today so the progress is the Vangs. I guess a line a day will get the ship built or something like that.

John, I cannot imagine painting them and keeping the holes open. I did buy some Min Wax black stain to see how that looks, but have yet to give it a try.
Thanks George, she's coming along slow, but I'm OK with the pace.

Yeah, those 3/32" blocks can cause you to go blind. I'm working with them right now in my rigging, and like you if I ever find the ones that seem to completely disappear at times - especially after spending 30 minutes to strop them and paint them to only vanish into the atmosphere I could rig another ship. That's why I buy extras.
