Hi Patrick and Albert, thank you!

Back to INGOMAR!!

Hi all, after a long time (summer, repairing RC sailplane) I'm back  to finish this lovely ship.

Bowsprit iron works and stays have been installed. 

Ciao

Hi all! Summer activities are gone.

The shipyard is going to restart.

Ciao!

Thanks a lot of your like and comments, Mike Y, aviaamotor, Rick01and Albert!!

Building is suspended due to other summer activities, but I'm going to continue shortly.

Now I'm involved to repair my rc-glider.

Your likes and comments are pushing me to continue!

Ciao

More frames added.

Hi all.

Long time since last post about the nice schooner “Ingomar”. Now she’s waiting due to a new building: POF OF the schooner “Enterprize” a small ship built in Hobart, Tasmania. Why this ship? The fact is that  I have since 1996 a nice plan drawn by K.H. Marquardt, enclosed in a number of “Model Shipwright”.

This is the first POF. The method is similar to the method  H.Hahn, but not completely the same. The same is the way to prepare frames.

I bought  very fine pearwood sheets from ARKOWOOD.

Pictures show the first steps. Frames are only positioned not fixed.

I'll alternate working both ships INGOMAR and ENTERPRIZE.

Ciao! 

Thank you Keith, thank you Patrick!!

Thank you Michael, I mean "intermittent".

The correct word.

Ciao!

Hi all. Long time since last post.

I'm a discontinued builder, although continuously interested to read NRG forum and books.

 Anyway, masts are installed, anchors are ready, obtained from a 2mm thick brass plate.

Ciao!

Thank you, Gerty!

Danke, Nils!!

Allan,

che coincidenza!! (conosci l'italiano?)

This wonderful book solved the enigma of crosstrees.

I'm courious to see your work!!

Ciao,

Giorgio

Just today I received this nice book. The front picture shows the Ingomar!

It'easy to check that crosstrees have to be installed!!

Hi Allan, I appreciate your post, thank you.

The Ingomar is mainly based on the Chapelle book, other books are shown in my first post. Furthermore I've bought 20 years ago a  useful drawing from David Mc Gregor. This helps, but the problem is always the same: it's not easy to find a definitive source about rigging. For example, I wonder if crosstrees shall be installed! About the rope, I bought Chuck Passaro ropes in the diameter I suppose fit better in my scale. Anyway, I think the better source is Chapelle book.

I'm going to update the build log in the next days: these pictures show the masts simply fitted in their holes, and not completely aligned. 

I hope to exchange more  informations about fishing schooners with you!

Ciao,

Giorgio

P.S.: the b/w picture in the first photo shows Neil Armstrong as a child with a aircraft flying model. I'm a RC-aeromodeller also!

Hi all! Long time to prepare masts and accessories.

In particular mast hoops: first prepared turning a copper tube. Not ok.

Then soldering copper strips. Not ok.

Finally, wrapping paper around a wood rod. Result ok!!

Ciao!

Hi David, you're very kind. I simply used a 0.25mm thick brass strip. This is properly bended around the bowsprit to create also the lugs at 0° and 180°. Bended lugs are then soldered.

After installed onto the bowsprit, two holes  at 90° and 270° are prepared to receive lugs made from wire.

This is not really correct, but after painting the overall effect is good. 

Ciao, and happy Christmas to you and to the other friends.

Some ironwork on the bowsprit.

Hi all.

Deck furniture almost completed.Starting the bowsprit.

Ciao a tutti.

Thank you, Patrick.

Hi all. 15 days to prepare fife rails and bitts!

This is the second attempt. I think is okay: made from a 1mm brass sheet.

The first one was made of 1 mm ply: too weak!!

Ciao,

Giorgio

Hi David,

I applied a round 2mm wooden rod with adesive strip along the line track.

The marker followed this track!

Then I removed the 2mm rod.

Ciao,

Giorgio

Hi Patrick,

I used the UNI-POSCA yellow marker extra fine:
