    BANYAN got a reaction from Jack12477 in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF   
    That is one heck of a "work of art" delivered by a very talented artisan Remco - a wonderful legacy you leave us mere mortals to follow
     
    cheers

    Finally after a one year, the basic structure of the upper deck is finished. I never realised I was that slow building my ship :-)
     
    I don't plan to add more ledges between the carlings so there is a better view at the lower decks. Cutting the mortice in the wing transom was a bit tricky, especially as they had to be right the first time.
     
    Time to add tome more bits to the deck.

    I am back in the dock yard after a 3month break builkding a 1/32 scale Thunderchief. Interesting transition from wood to plastic. I had to sharpen up my accuracy, as plastic is not very forgiving.
     
    I am working on the top mast shrouds now and post some ship pics soon. For those that are interested, here is my Aircraft effort.

    Thanks Steve and JB.  Steve that photo is perfect - many thanks for that - much appreciate the rapid response.  I was a bit puzzled by marquardt's depiction as i could not see a 'seaman' like way to utilise a central line either end; the spreaders make much more practical sense.

    Haven't been very motivated to do much on the ship lately, until today. Continuing with the ratlines, made a real task for myself by electing to simulate the eye splices at each end of the ratline, but at least they look more realistic.

    Latest shipyard update:
    Decided the mid hatch would be a simple hinged flat one over the opening.
    I added a combining about the outer edges, give it some functionality, maybe it did have an outer edge so things did not roll off.

     
    One of the larger section raised for the crew to slip under decks.

    Hi Pat,
    Congratulations on the step to retire. A well earned cold one 
    Not an easy decision these days to retire.
     
    May your shipyard, shipbuilding provide much enjoyment.
    Push the Endeavour along and get her finished, she looks great.

    Good to see you back in the dockyard Mike.
     
    Greg, Popeye - unfortunately retiring 5 years earlier than planned for health reasons - get some quality of life in while I can.  My complaints however are minor compared to many!

    Happy New Year! She looks fantastic. I haven't touched my boat for over two months. I took a break to build a 132nd super detailed f105 thunderchief.
    You have inspired me to get back to the shipyard-
    I have my mojo back!
