Anja got a reaction from Ferit in Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Anja & Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - Scale 1:46
Hello friends,
Thank you all for the compliments and the likes and welcome to my build log.
@ Django - Santisima Trinidad is a fantastic looking ship when finished. Good choice.
@ Marcus - I think my Halve Mean is sitting on other people's mantelpiece (or maybe even in the mantelpiece )
@ Wayne - With popcorn you are allowed to make a little mess, as long as you clean up afterwards.
@ Hennie - Don't worry about Sjors' netting, it is still a work in progress. Three more to go. Oh, before I forget, I need netting to. Isn't that convenient.
@ Ulises - Yes, she is indeed a beauty. And to keep her beautiful, I decided not to use the bright colors OcCre used. I will use the Admiralty paints yellow ochre, red ochre, dull black and French blue.
And now it is time for an update. Enjoy.
The deck came in four parts. Glued two of the parts together and planked the starboard and port side separately.
The lined sections of the deck were glued onto the structure of the ship.
Reinforcing parts glued in place on each side of the false keel and on the bow frame.
Glued eleven gun ports to each side of the deck and started the lining onto the interior of the frames.
Thank you for watching.

Bug, what a great tribute to a great Model Shipwright. You did an amazing job. Now that it is finished I think Augie can finally hang his Moose on the wall. Those that were part of that banter a few years ago will know what I mean here. That was quite an honorable feat that you have accomplished here. We've lost two of our friends here with Augie and George Lackie both before their time. It was an honor to have known them both and how they contributed to this Forum and the world. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done and we'll bend an elbow to Augie and you tonight. God Bless you for all you did. Big Smile Augie - Big Smile,
John

Hello Sean,
I know Augie is smiling. You did an excellent job, she is just beautiful.
The finished build also brings a tear to my eyes, because now it is time to let go.
Thank you for this.

Sean,
You have done something that is almost impossible.
Augie was a master of modelling and you are at the same level as he was.
I know he will look from above and agree with me that no one could finish his work as you did!
I take my hat of for both of you.
With tears in my eyes i admire the confed.
Thanks for all that you have done for Augie and all of us here on MSW.
It's a beauty and give her a nice place at your home.

Bug, very nicely done. You have paid honor to a fine gentleman. Thank you for all your work.

Anja reacted to Moonbug in USF Confederacy by Augie & Moonbug - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
Obviously it was extraordinarily humbling and intimidating to have been asked to complete Augie's Confederacy. Aside from his excellent work, Augie was an extremely popular gentleman on the forum, and for all the right reasons. Quite simply, he was just a great guy.
I can honestly say, I did my best for him, and I hope he's happy with the end result. Thank you all SO much for following along and providing such great support.
Here are a couple of shots of the finished ship. More images will soon be up in the Gallery of Completed Builds, and once that is done I'll update this log accordingly.

Hi Anja and Sjors,
Yes, it's been a while. I tried resuming the ship building life a few months ago but too many thing got In the way. My mother (85) had a heart valve replacement and I'm staying with them to help with transportation and home chores. Dad is 87 and does not drive plus he has his own health issues that need addressed. The shipyard is a mess right now but it will not take much time to get it operational again.
I hope you and and yours are safe and healthy and that you both are making a lot of saw dust in the shop. I hope to ck out this new site in a day or so and maybe have enough time to see what everyone has been working on and maybe make a post or two while visiting my parents.

So... not a whole lot of mystery here with the construction of the pinnace.
I had the same issues with the cap rail using the Swiss Pear, but when through fewer iterations because I need I needed the patiences to just use a sharp blade.
I notched out the thwarts, and carved out the knees. The rails are pretty straightforward, glued together from the laser cut.
I ended up using small bits of boxwood for the oar locks. I couldn't manage to carve the basswood that small and still keep it in tact, so I went with the denser boxwood and just had them two "steps" carved.
Finally, I tethered the small boats to the waist beams. I know that this isn't a tradition knot of any kind - however this is the first type of "slip" knot my father taught me how to use. We moved a lot when I was young, and this is how he tied down all the stuff we'd load up on our open top, built ourselves trailer. It's a clever little knot that's easy to manipulate quickly when we'd stop at a rest stop and need something out of the back.
So this is a little homage to my late father. :-)
Coming up - the finale...
