Hello

time to start build log of the HMB Endeavour by Caldercraft.

I am planning to make her as detailed as I can, using all source of information i can find. For now I have only Anatomy of the Ship that should be good start.

Quality of parts is very good, but blocks i will change for aftermarket one

fit is tight but everything fit perfectly

now time to start planking 

Best,

Maciek

the display case is ready! she finally reached her destination

Hello!

After 2 years the construction has been completed!  I really like how it turned out.

below some photos.

Thank You Allan,

I think You right  When modeling the emblem I took picture from book 'anatomy of the ship - alert' because it was more precise for me to model on it than the one for endavours book. I didn't realise that the small ornament on the left was in fact a number 2. I compared it with drwaings for endavour and  this ornament looks like like 3 there. If I decide to print it some changes will be made ;). Thanks!

Are you talking about the forestays, or the need to run some of the running rigging through the ratlines/shrouds?

I am talking about forestays. As You can see on the picture above, forestay blocks rotation angle of the yard. I think i shoulden't deform forestays by increasind tention on yard. Mayby i need to move yard foreward away from the mast?

Dear All, I need some advice. 

I'm at the stage of mounting the yard and sails. I would like to mount squer sails as if they were catching side wind. something like that

but, when i try to position the lowest yard it colides with shrouds.

I couldent find any good picture how it works in real. Any ideas?

Hi

taking a little break from Lady Nelson, I'm learning 3D design. 

For my next project, HMB Endavour, I have created model of it's cannon and hope to print it

Model is based on blueprints from anatomy of the ship. Photo of orginal cannon for comparison.

Amati didn't provide any gun tackle plans, so I took them form 'Anatomy of the Ship - The Naval Cutter Alert 1777' due to both ship are the same class and period.

used only single blocks, not doubles on both the running out tackle and train tackle.

Maybe it's not clearly visible in previous photos but blocks configuration is single and double.

Thank you! I will remember this for future projects

Hello,

it's time to make some sails! Unfortunately I don't have access to sewing machine so my sails are glued.

To imitate seam on sail I followed Olha Batchvarov built relation ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj8D0VNMRAE&t=958s ) that is, pulling the colored thread out of the fabric to achieve result like this

finished sail has doubel seam and glued on reinforcements on ends

two sails installed, and template for third is fitted. A lot of loose line everywhere at this point

Cheers

Maciek

And the last update for now: anchor

Fast forward to present state

There is a mast rigger with homemade ropes. I also upgreaded all blocks.

Cannons on place and rigged. I have added doors(?) to gunports.

All builts of Lady Nalson and Sharebourn I have seen never had boat on board, I decidet to add one on my

Quick time jump and another update

some deck furniture added (dry fitted at the moment)

I decided to replace kit cannons with aftermarket, that are much larger (L:25mm) and more in to scale.

Welcome to my first building log!

Over a year ago i started building Lady Nelson from Amati. It is my second attempt to build wooden ship. Bit late but anyway I decided to share building progress with You. Unfortunately I haven't documented early stages of construction. First photos I made below. The hull is ready and painted.

I like detail so first of them that I have made to this stage: rudder

Cześć!

Greetings from my shipyard in Warsaw suburbs. I don't have long history with ship modeling, just one finished during lockdown (Amati Albion), bat with models in general almost all my life (36). So many hours spent on this formu looking for information to make my next built as good and detailed as I am able to. And soon i hope to share results of my work. For now some pictures of my first ship from her better days (before hit by books  )
