Hi LS Back off my holiday and I see you've made fine progress on your Sherbourne. You'll be finished before me at this rate. I'm liking your work though. Very smart paintwork. Cheers -
Hi I realise I'm a little late into this log but reading through it I have say you're doing a beautiful job of her. Your carving is very good. Keep up the great work Cheers Jon

Hi all This update wasn't supposed to happen now but due to the weather here (rain and more rain) work is on hold and I find myself with time to head to the shipyard. So I rectified the deadeyes port and starboard, and finished rigging the guns. I decided that the deck pumps needed a bit of something to make them look less like two short pieces of dowel, so I planked them, maybe they are a bit too chunky but they're going to stay that way. Fitted all rigging blocks to mast and spars ready for when I get onto the rigging. Glued down most of the decks furniture and got the anchors rigged. Now I don't think that the anchor cables would have both been turned round the windlass but I like the look of them like that.this was my first time in my new shipyard as I've been evicted from the kitchen table. Anyway it's stopped raining so it'll be back to work tomorrow. Work on Sherbourne will stop now til the end of August for a holiday with my grandchildren and others of my family. Cheers and thanks for all the likes, comments and advice. Til September 😎

Hi LS Even if the finished hull is an oil or varnish, the pin holes can be used for treenails, thus saving a little bit of drilling 😆 Cheers
-
LS very nice job your planking looks great I'm interested to know wether you used it on your 2nd planking as well Cheers
-
Hi LS I know exactly what you mean as to trying to square the oarports, I attempted squaring them but gave up after splitting a plank on the internal bulwark. That said round or square it's looking very nice. Cheers
-
Hi LS , planking looks good, I am looking forward to seeing more Cheers

Nice touches, I really like your Sherbourne😃 I am waiting with anticipation for more updates
-
I like your idea for rigging the cannon LS should make it easier than the way I did it. You are fairly flying with Sherbourne. Cheers and good luck
-
Hi nikbud, I hope you've got some Wizardwood from the Rainwilds for her. The Liveship trilogy are a fantastic read so I'm eagerly awaiting the conclusion to your build. Cheers.
-
It's all looking good LS, the cannons look the business😀 Cheers
-
This one looks interesting Chris! Smaller than the Bristol, looks like another to add to the wish/shopping list. That's my budget plan down the swannee
-
Hi Vane are you working on these builds together or on alternate days? However you are doing it they are all looking good😀
-
I am looking forward to seeing the 2nd planking, are you keeping it a wood finish or a painted finish? Cheers

Hi Mugje I held my capping rails on Sherbourne down with elastic bands as you can put quite a bit of tension on with them. Hope this helps BTW very nice job
-
LS, your first layer planking could pass as a top layer😃 I've noticed that you fitted all your transom posts, please be careful of the middle two as they are vulnerable til you put the transom on. As with Ballahoo you are going great! Cheers and good luck
-
Good start LS, and leaving the keel, prow and rudder post should help. Hope you have fun with Sherbourne after your holiday with your grandkids😎 Mine has been on hold for a while and I won't be back building til after my holiday with my grandkids Cheers and good luck

Ahh, I had just wondered as the Perry brothers do a lot of Napoleonic miniatures for wargaming mainly 28mm which would equate to 1:64. Thanks
-
These figures are great Chris! The detail is superb. Correct me if I'm wrong but they look like they have been sculpted and painted by Alan or Micheal Perry??
-
Hi all, When it came to putting a bit of colour on my mast I initially used a brush but the end finish was dubious as brush strokes were visible, while pondering what to do to correct this my better half suggested I use a sponge as this would wrap the mast therefore colouring it in one pass with no brush marks. Apologies if this has already been discussed.
-
Absolutely wonderful paintings, you have a great skill there!
-
I'm on the front row for this one LS
-
LS you'll have fun with Sherbourne 😆 it will be nice to have another in the fleet. Congrats on finishing Ballahoo, you've done yourself and her proud! I've already got my seat for Sherbourne and l will follow you til you launch her, make sure you have fun along the way! Cheers and good luck
