S.Coleman got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in HMB Endeavour 1768 by S.Coleman - Artesania Latina - 1:60 scale
Okay so... More gastly chunks of metal. I decided to drill out the material where the glass should be and add my own glass. Trying to jazz them up abit.
From photos the deadlights are red and I decided to include them. Might just have to go a touch darker red on them but we'll see.

Stern assembly time. The ornaments on top came in the form of a slab of metal. Painted the recessed areas blue then applied brass paint on the protruding areas. Im happy with the outcome. Strips above and below windows added as well.

The glass came out really nice i think. Nice little bit of scratch building.

Stern windows this time! The kit supplys you with the unsightly metal cast windows which i defiantly wont be using. So instead om making my own out of 1mm×1mm stock and then make my own glass for them.

The plans say, Use a strip of 4×4 and make steps....... i was not going to sit there and carve them out so i built my own. I think they came up good enough.

Ok little bit more of an update. These past few days i have been busy finishing off the handrails and bollards. Still have to paint the waist deck handrails but its getting there.
About to start the steps up the starboard side of the hull. More to come soon......

Don't worry guys. Im still building. Slowly getting it done. I've gone down the path of the planks termination at the stem. Actualy working out great. Mapping each plank for fitting and the lie of it. Checking and re checking.

Time for another update. Better pic quality this time. Continuing on down the sides with last layer. Coming to the tricky part now. Hope you all like so far.

Stantchions, bollards and hatch cover coamings going in place. Each handrail stanchion is laser cut and square.
To fit into the gunwale the bottom of each peice has to be filed round to fit in the hole. Each bollard is cut from 4×4mm stock and corners have to be filed round. Slowly making my way around the ship.
Each stanchion has a taper of 4mm at the bottom and closes up to 2mm at the top. They look uneven but they all measure out correctly.

Very nice indeed. I have also built her. My build log is on here as well. Check it out if you have time. Yours already looks better than mine. I really enjoyed this kit. Hope you dont mind me posting a pic of her on here. Color of your ornamentation looks great. Good job

I think it looks good. Or is the window on too much of a slant?

The extra time spent here pays off later in the build. Good planning. The second picture looking down on the ship looks like it’s in water by the type of glass on your table top!
Is there going to be reinforcement blocks added for the masts like you have done for your stand? I’ve put them in my Endeavour build but made the fatal mistake of not documenting them so it’s going to be a mystery to solve come time to drill the deck for them 😩
Overall looking very nice and professional job.

I do love a mamoli build. Especially the big ones like this one, The victory and the Friesland. Nice job on the planking. Looks even and sharp.

Ok. The ship is finally completed!!!! From 28/12/15 to the 20/12/17 it is finished. Every rope and plank. Thank you to all that commented and followed the journey, you sure made it fun. I have photos here but I will take better ones soon for the completed gallery section.
The admiral has instructed me to take a break for a bit. She thinks building is very stressful. Hehe. I find it the other way around. 😊
