    Another update today ! I glued the bulkheads into their associated slots in the main keel. And I started the planking (Not so easy to plank the stern grrr). PS: Thank you for the encouragement S.Coleman !

    Hello Thanasis, Thank fo your comment and encouragement. Yes the box contains a little history of the ship: "The ship was built by Mac. Intyre Paisley-Huston and Cardett shipyard, Glasgow, Britain, as a passanger and cargo ship. The ship’s first owner Dussey and Robinson Company named it as “Torocaderto” and used for 5 years. In 1883, the ship was sold to H.Psicha Preus, Greece. Then, it’s name was changed to “Kymi”. In 1890, the last owner sold it to another Greek company which was Cap. Andereadis. The ship sunk at 1891 and was brought up in the same year. It was sold to Istanbul Rama Derasimo and recorded to Istanbul port. In 1894 she started to work for Ottoman Maritime administration. Her name was changed to “Panderma” (Bandırma) and served as a post ship at Marmara sea. The Ship completed a historical mission. On 1919, 19.May, The Founder of Modern Turkey Republic Mustafa Kemal ATATURK arrived at Samsun from İstanbul by this ship and started the Turkish Independance War against the occupiers. The ship was taken to pieces at 1925 at Golden Horn." There is also a wikipedia page about this steamer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Band%C4%B1rma Regarding the history of Turkey, it seems that the country was occupied and partitioned following the Ottoman Empire's defeat in World War I (1918) between France, Greece, Armenia, Great Britain and Italy. Five years later, Mustafa Kemal obtained the revocation of this partition: the independance of Turkey. But in my case, I'm more attracted by the lines of the ship than its history. Regards,

    Hi Everyone, "Panderma Ferry" will be my second build log after the WONDERFUL Lady Nelson. It is an historical passanger and cargo ship used by Mustafa Kemal ATATURK during the Turkish Independance War. More details: * Scale : 1/87 * Length : 620 mm Here are pictures of the box (I'm not a fan of the cover ): Because I previously built an Amati's model, I'm surprised about the quality of plans: they are not in scale (see the planking instructions). Well, building the "Bandirma" (turkish name of the ship) in these conditions will be a challenge

    Thank you Antony. I like the ship without any display case. Maybe I would regret it if my son break it with his foam pirate sword. Thank you Sailor1234567890 and John: congratulations accepted Thank you Eamonn. I will start a new build log soon

    You're right. I was satisfied only 10 minutes . After that I opened the box of my next project. Regards Bibounde

    So here we are ! I have to change my signature: Current Build Completed build : Lady Nelson. Finally I put the last 2 booms and placed the ship on the pedestal (I drilled 4mm holes at the bottom of the keel in order to place the screws). Because the ship building duration took 3 years, I had to wash the pedestals with a "Pierre Blanche" (it's a french solution, but I don't know how to say it in english). Here are the pictures of the Lady Nelson. See you in another build log mates

    In my Lady Nelson, I don't particularly like cannon barels and culverins which are plastic. Also iron anchors and pumps look fake. Hope to see more update of your Ballahoo. Regards, Bibounde

    Hi, Great job. Your deck is beautiful. It seems that fittings are more accurate in your model than my Lady Nelson (same scale however). Or it's the talent of the artist. I have a question: what kind of tools did you use in order to trim masts, yards, and booms: sanding paper and elbow grease ? Regards
  9. bibounde
    Another mini-update. I placed the upper yard and started the creation of the main boom. Here is a photo of my shipyard Regards

    Hello Eamonn, Thx for the like. Yes I believe that I will start the ferry

    Hello everyone, As usual, I made a big break (lot of work, new baby room preparation, and other stuffs). Last days I focused on "masting" and rigging. Mouse OK Main and middle yards OK Rudder OK "The end is coming" ! Even if I did not finish the Lady Nelson yet, I have already looking at my next project: I'm trying to decide between the "Panderma Ferry from Turkmodel" (which I already booked and received) and the "Hermione from Artesania Latina".

    Thanks Eamonn. Thanks to you I found these topics: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7369-weaving-jig-for-a-mouse/ http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/509-hms-snake-by-beef-wellington-caldercraft-scale-1-64-first-wooden-ship-build/page-34#entry144891 (much easier for me - no tools needed -) I'm french and a newbie, so sometimes I'm lack of vocabulary Regards
  13. bibounde
    Hi, I'm creating the rigging threads (especially the shrouds), and I have a question: how to successfully complete this knots ? Regards
  14. bibounde
    Hello, Because it's my first build, I didn't pay attention. But I can fully guarantee that painting the gun barrel wheels was a challenge Regards
  15. bibounde
    Hi Phil, Thx for the comment. Guns are made entirely of plastic. Regards
  16. bibounde
    Hello, Finally, I found the answer of my question in the topic named "Mast colours". So I painted the mast cap like this: After that, I created my first block (hurra). I used a permanent marker in order to paint the thread black. The topic named "Attaching blocks and other rigging to masts and spars" was very helpful (and especially the video of Bender). Regards.

    Thank you for your comments. Yes, it is my first kit, but I started it 3 years ago and this forum is very helpful to avoid lot of mistakes.
  18. bibounde
    Arrgh, I was almost at the goal! To calm my nerves, I tied the last 3 guns. After that I went back into top mast creation. Now I have one question: in the Lady Nelson prototype, it seems that the part framed in red in the picture (I don't know how to name it) must be paint in black. But the plan instructions do not mention this operation. Is there a specific rule for victory models ? What do you think ? Regards
  19. bibounde
    Thank you egkb. Your Ballahoo is pretty good too

    Hi there, I had to let my Lady Nelson during one month, but I'm back to work with pleasure. I tapered and shaped the first part of the main mast and because I haven't any lathe, I did it with sanding paper.
  21. bibounde
    Thank you all for the likes and comments. I am encouraged by them.

    Happy New Year Everyone, I can say: hull and deck almost done. I fixed the 66 eyelets, added the bowsprit support (with some fixes because it was too high - the front of the bowsprit was under the water line), and varnished the hull and the deck (flat matt). I started the installation of guns and the anchors, taking into consideration the pictures of the kit box instead of the plan instructions (following them, the anchors would have hampered the swivel guns). From plan instructions From box pictures (my choice) You can see that I lost all the swivel guns. Not a good idea to put them befoare finishing the deck: my hands was too wide . I think that I will fix them after the rigging operation. Another pictures: Regards
  23. bibounde
    A little update today. I started to drill the eyelets holes (with a drill bit which is 0,1mm diameter larger than that of the eyelets -akka- 0,6mm). I need to insert 66 eyelets ( ), but the kit provides only 50. So I have needed to order further eyelets (through the Historische Modelbouw website : http://www.historische-modelbouw.nl/?a=view-item&id=769). I am not fluent in Dutch but I received the eyelets today (thx). My Lady Nelson becomes an international kit .
  24. bibounde
    Thank you for this advice. I will try tonight. Regards

    Hi everyone, Thank you for the likes (p.hoek, AntonyUK, egkb, Ian B and GuntherMT) Here are the latest updates. I finished painting the hull below the waterline (3 coats of paint), the rudder (thank you to the 3 pins!) and installation of deadeyes. I also added the rudder and used simple pins instead of 1 mm brass wire (0.5 mm vs 1 mm) I also advanced the laying of the thirty eyelets. When the deck will be completed , I think starting the "varnish" operation. So I have 2 questions: I hesitate between "Flat Matt" (my first choice) and "Matt" : what is your opinion ? How to reduce small traces of paint on the waterline (see next picture) ? Are there tools ? Regards
