    Hey Jacques, I have used small pieces of copper tape and glue them on. then applied tiny drops of blacking solution just on the copper.

    I’m no where near ready for a build like this, but you are doing a wonderful job of preparing me. I would have never figured out what you were doing by the words you were writing. But your pictures teach me well:-) thank you Glen!
  17. Bryan Woods
    Here is one I made to hang down straight. After it’s dry I push out the dowel to release the bottom loops. Maybe you could modify it like this. You’ll need to pick the size of clothes pin that will fit the coils you need. Those flat coils I just patiently stick them down on painter tape and dab glue when it starts getting out of control. Then after it dries I go a little farther. I coat it completely when I’m done. Usually mess with it when I first set down, then it’s easier to put aside unfinished when I have other things to do:-)

    Palmerit, I built jigs and tried to mimic the size and the shape I was going to be putting them on.

    Very impressive Jacques’, both build and the presentation!
  21. Bryan Woods
    Thanks Palmerit. I used straight white glue and surgically, apply it with a syringe and a micro tip. You have to leave room to compress the clothes pin, so you can remove them after they dry. Both ends of the rope are pinched off at the other end.
  22. Bryan Woods
    Most of my time spent on Le Martegaou the last 10 days has been cleaning up loose rope ends and making rope coils. The main sail went up pretty easy. Here are some jigs I used to make the rope coils. After that was done I carved a few more pets for the crew. I’d like to introduce the crew:-) From left to right, Captain Kurt, Landon Dogavon (Papillon), Chloe (Lab) and Ellie (Lab) Macy (Pekingese), Garfield (tabby), Maya (Pekingese) Sophia (cavalier, King Charles Spaniel) Top is Rea-Rea (Siamese), bottom Cullen (Shih Tzu) Marley (blue heeler) Top right Chief (German Shepherd), bottom right Spot (dalmatian). And last but not least, Goliath (cockatiel)Top left on picture below 🙂 So here’s the pics of what it’s really about. This was a really fun build. I wish they didn’t use plywood on the parts that showed to be stained. And the kit included some water slide decals (at least I thought they were) but they disintegrated before they even got close. Thanks everyone for the responses and likes.

    Well done, on the pram!

    JC, your work is so clean! I’m anxious to see all the layers of finish you’re going use. I have on my shelf a fishing boat kit from Diorama World that I’d like to weather.

    I’m working on the last load of reef points:-)
  26. Bryan Woods
    Work on the main sail has progressed. I punched holes for the reef points and for the lacing to the yard. When making the sails I glued a thread between the layers of tea paper, so the sail wouldn’t move up and down on the yard while I was trying to lace it. Then I placed the sail between the two pieces of cardboard to keep me from wrinkling it up, while I was lacing it up. I never can remember how to start and end the rope when doing this. Now I have all the reef points to put on, which half of them are right up against the yard. I thought I would mess these up if put them on before lacing the yard on. There are two ropes that draw the sail in, that run through the two blocks on the yard. Also, the rope that raises the main sail. Then I need to tie on two blocks on the lower end of the yard that will hold the yard down at the bow.
  27. Bryan Woods
    Just setting back after I set Capt. Kurt by the mast. It looks like he is wondering if those cleats are supposed to be so massive. That block for the main sail seems large too. But if they were much smaller I would be wondering how I was going to tie them on:-) Kurt is about 5’9” in 1:80
  28. Bryan Woods
    Finished the head sail yesterday. I must say I was anxiously waiting to see if it was going to fit. All went well. It pulled the mast forward a bit. I measured the top of the mast to the bowsprit and it was true to the plan. Now to finish the main sail.
  29. Bryan Woods
    Setting back studying the model and thinking of my next move, I noticed how the stays had the mast pulled back even though there is very little tension on the stays. I mainly just got them straight. It looks to me like I need to rig the head sail first so I can straighten the mast up a bit before the main sail goes on. Opinions are welcome:-)

    Standing rigging completed, now more work to be done on the sails and the yard.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
