hi all
just a short update.rigging progresses but have had to adjourn to make some larger blocks , chucks only go up to 6mm at the moment and the rigging plans / diagram call for 9mm blocks on the spreading yard. a first for me as ive never attempted to make blocks before.
came out ok in the end.lovely stuff to work with this swiss steamed pear!!
still lots to do!!
cheers ....mick

Thanks guys
Steep learning curve moving from kits to scratch! Next step will be just as steep moving on to pot triton cross section. Then a full hull!!

hi all
managed to get some more work done on the sloop today.
yards temporarily rigged to mast with parrels.
spreading yard requires a truss i believe,get round to that when rigging proper starts.
pear wood blocks done for cathead.
decided to make a binnacle for the deck. lifted the general shape and proportion from ron macarthys book on scratch building a two masted sloop of 1752.
built from a ramin core and then skinned with 0.6mm box veneer,top from 1mm box and panel details from 0.6mm box veneer.
details ; copper pipe for lantern chimney and amati brass pins for handles.
tomorrows job is rigging the gun tacles and breeching ropes.
photos enclosed.

found some more pictures of current build.should bring things up to date. almost ready to start rigging.will be using chuck passaros blocks and rope.
already used some of chucks cannon barrels on scratch built carriages.absolutely superb qaulity turnings.
will also be using chucks lantern kit as a final stern embellishment.
postman brought my latest kit this morning,direct from model expo in florida . rn pinnace based on chucks prototype. should be an interesting build.
also have just subscribed to deagostini for their hms surprise kit.this will form the basis of a heavily modified kit build.some of the components are crude to say the least. i was intending to build this as the refitted ship circa 1798? hence the purchase of the original draft from the nmm.wont be starting this for another 12 months or so, lots of planning to do first.

Hi nils
Blocks are 5mm long.chuck passaros from syren ship models in pear.strap is thin black card and hooks are leftovers from HMS snake kit in 1/64scale.proportion looks about right.

this will be my first scratchbuilt project.based on a set of plans first published around an article in modelboats cica 1996 by a chap called peter danks. (myrmidon man?)
apparently this vessel was originally built for service on the great lakes of north america during the america war of independance.
built around ply wood bulkheads on a similar system to some of the billing kits ie in two halves.
wales planked using 3mm x 4mm beech.
all other planking in lime wood.
various fittings will be in a mixture of other timbers including boxwood,ramin.
