Hi Paul

  I have been building the Amati Santa Maria. Although due to circumstances its been a few years since I have touched it but my log is still on line.

   Tony

Hi

    Now that every thing is getting back to normal with the memsahib I have started to do some work not only on the Caroline but also the SM and the Bounty but I have hit a problem with the Caroline transom rail it wont sit straight any ideas.

     This is what I done so far.

Hi

Its good to be back now that the wife is getting better and.thanks again to those who wished her so.Things are a bit messy at the moment as I have not got round to sorting them out yet.

Tony

I finally succumbed.Do not tell the Memsaab.

I have finished the running rigging on the bowsprit,.and have started on the foremast. So far I have had to replace some stays,

because he had tied them round the yard rigging,the shrouds need tightening and the ratlines need replacing.Other than that every thing is ok?

Tony 

Hi Mike

As I their have already said, their are some right philistine about.

Tony

Thank  you for your time every one.

Hi Steve

It took me all off half an hour to get that look.When I was in the history business we would have called it distressed.Anyway thanks for your good wishes.

Hi Blue Pilot.

Woodwork wise they are well made,it,s the rigging that,s in a mess pairs not going to the same belay on the opposite side some are missing,and large amount of supper glue on every thing. 

Tony

All the Bowsprite rigging is in place although its not tied off yet as I have not finished staining them to bring them in line with the original. 

She is now defuzzed,and I have made  a start on  sorting out the rigging .

No I don't,both the Bounty and the Victory are del prado so its from whenever they where published.

Yes Bob,I believe its called a Senior citizen moment.

I use different size brushes and a hair dryer.

She is now dusted, and I have now started cleaning the old glue off the pieces that have come adrift.

Hi medic

Absolutely nothing

Hi Tulok

Its my own fault for saying yes sight unseen,the outcome is a playroom that looks like a graveyard for model boats.

Have a nice one all.

Made a start,still dont know the name of the model.Captainsteve I agree their are some right phillistines about.

Thanks all for your replies.The 4th one is a half finished model of the Victory,by De Prado and by the looks of it so is the BOUNTY. The other one looks to be early 1800s American,lawrence/Niagra?

Thanks again

Tony
