Hey there I'm working on my own Beagle as my first full ship build. I'm interested as well why you left the middle plank off but so far looks great to me!! Looking forward to see how this all goes for you.
-
Amen to that and currently finishing my HMS Beagle build which has a log but not as detailed as I will be with the conny because I know I'm taking on a much different beast. I will be glad to have all the help I can get.
-
I'll be purchasing a conny and be using your build as a reference for sure. Thank you for all the detail in your posts.
-
I appreciate it cause it makes me feel better about just how bad my apartment is lol.
-
So my work schedule has killed me literally where I have been lacking in energy so much but i almost have the full foremast done. This is it dry fitted just ignore the mess like I said it's been rough week for me lol.
-
Your build is wonderful I'm so happy I have some logs like yours and others to look on through my process to make my build come together. Any ideas on your next build by chance?
-
It's an amazing build and would love to be able to get close to there with mine in due time!! Cant wait to see what you build next. Any ideas on that front?
-
Love your build so far and is for sure a beautiful ship that I would love to do some day. Cant wait to see your work on it!!
-
I can only imagine lol
-
Thank you so much for your complments!! While your build is slow it is an amazing looking ship and you are doing it justice for sure from what I see We have had birds for quite some time. We feed them chop and millet and some seed but not a lot. If you look earlier in my build my cockatiels actually chewed part of my ship and had to do repairs on it. Lol
-
It really is quite a nice kit and very friendly to the builder. If you want historical accuracy I've come to find there is changes for sure that need to be made but all in all it comes together really easily.
-
So I decided to get the rest of the initial foremast done so I could see it in full scope and it truly is going to be amazing. Still working on the top of the foremast and decided to put our brand new flock member in the picture for scale lol. More so I want to make a pirate hat for him (his name is pickle) and have pickle the pirate as a star of my updates if I can lol.

Is green not the color its suppose to have?? If your gonna rename maybe something with jade cause that is what the green makes me think of

He is being humble right? @Kevin it's a great trait I appreciate in people when they aren't boastful
-
Finished the first parts of the foremast. Which is quite interesting and kind of making the rigging aspect of this feel much more daunting cause I'm coming to the realization of how tall this boat is gonna be lol.
-
I'll give it a shot but that all black mast top looks extremely clean and I love the look. Glad to have you following along with my build!
-
Can you send a link so I can check it out. Weathering instead of staining sounds like it might be a better look because I cant guarantee the same color through the whole project with stain because of the different woods that are in the build.
-
I see that lol. It's an amazing build though and love learning new tricks and tips from vets like you

That looks amazing! Did you use soldering wire for the cage going to the ladders?

I thought of acrylic but if I do acrylic on this one I would have to do it to all because it would be obvious the difference. Yea I saw that when I tried it to over stain a small hidden part to try it. I might just chalk it up to learning because some of the spots I literally cant get to. Maybe I'll use some acrylic like Keith suggested but just to hide my mistakes and just have it as a thing me and the few of you following my build will know. Lol
-
Alright so lesson for the day. None of my glue works with the stain. And I wont know until I've stained if it will show through. So now I have to stain everything before gluing so it actually be fully stained. So yea lol will be done differently from now on unless doing acrylic paint. if anyone has any better ideas then sanding the specific spots(which I cant get to at this stage) and restaining until it covers. I would love to know any ideas!!
-
@LucienL @Keith Black they have us attach the eye loops so it's probably in the rigging instructions to use them. Thank you guys
-
Also someone want to tell me where these are in the build because I searched the whole instruction manual and I saw it no where.
-
Alright so I made some good progress today. So found a darker stain that I liked and will be going with this for the masts and bowsprit and all. After that got all the tieing done on the blocks which came out great. Got some of the final details checked and double checked with the diagram. then I used my trusty old dremel to help get the hole drilled after I started it. Turns out the I did leave the opening for the bowsprit without even knowing lol. I didn't get a picture because I'm stupid but yea I have dry fitting pictures and also pictures of the final glued insert.
-
That looks great so far!! Cant wait to see the fully planked hull
