Hi there, I'm considering planking using the real length of the planks in my HMS Pandora. I think it would look more natural than eeeeextremely long pieces of wood. That's my opinion. Regards, Paweł

Thanks Popeye, I read about similar technique a couple of years before. It was to prepare the cloth and printer, cover the cloth previously with a chemical substance (a kind of varnish or so), secure it wit a paper frame (not to let it move) and then run the cloth through the printer. I should do something with it while constructing my HMS Pandora.

Thanks for your words mates Bug, I pop in your log as well. I like the progress you've made. Marktime, I will try to place better photos soon
-
BTW, it's not finished yet...

Dealing with yard... I have created some wooden parts to be coiled around the mast. My wife gave me some very small bids to place them between these wooden elements. Sorry for the quality of the pics but it was late at night and my sight was not so good then

one word: perfect! -
She's going to be a very beautiful ship

I'm going to use "the chemical forces" - I'm a chemistry teacher The results will be publishen in my building log HMS Pandora. Previously I was painting the cannons too and the effect was "edible". I can't wait to see your painting
-
Your progress is visible. Are you going to blacken/darken the cannons?
-
Thanks Bug for sharing the website! I don't know why the people responsible for the plans are so inaccurate... Comparing to the Construct: The plans are good, but in my HMS Pandora (1779) there is a modern Union Jack... LOL
-
So the dimensions of the plates at my scale would be 14mm long and 4mm wide. Am I correct? And Colin, I agree that it would be a bit insane to do the rivets Thanks for the priceless information
-
I know jacketha. Constructo did it really badly. The Union Jack should be without The Northern Ireland.... No comments I will have to modify it
-
Very nice outcome. I like the final shape of the cleats.
-
Matti, your Wasa turns into a real beauty. It's your "fault" I like watching the progress you are making. Keep going!

Hi Craig, I divided it into steps. The first step was to sew the "vertical lines" - it took me about 6 hours. Then I started sewing it around - about 3 hours. Next, I added a thick rope around and attach it to the sail - 3 hours. The last step was to add the small ropes in two parallel lines across the sail - about 1.5 hrs. You're right Craig, I'm not going to furl it. I read an article about furling and the easiest way is to shape the sail by cutting off the excess of the material and attach it to the yard. I have never done this before and I'm not going to take my chance with Santa Maria It's nice to read that you like it Any more questions - go ahead
-
In fact, her outlok stayed unknown. A similar ship was curved on a gate of a church or something like this. Therefore you're correct that she's a bit s-f vessel. No mater which cross you have on your sails. Everything is possible. But I have to admit that Mantua's version and plans are really poor...
-
I still feel hazy about coppering the hull. On one hand it would be quite a new experience for me but on the other hand, inaccuracy is not good then (how to make rivets at the scale of 1:85???) Without rivets it would b a bit strange. Any ideas about the dimensions and how to make them? I was thinking of using a needle or a very thin drill (0.1mm). What do you think?
-
Keep going
-
I found different types of crosses. But what did it look like we don't know...

Hi Bug, The cross was the only good thing that was taken from the originail sail from the kit. I cut it out and attached to my own sail.
-
Colin, I will think it over. Now I shall finish my Santa Maria and then start Pandora... However, I will be asking a lot of questions here just to solve some problems and doubts
-
No problem Matti. I get a lot of hints from this forum so I share with my ideas as well.
-
Colin, thank you for your response. I have AotS so I'll take a look at rigging. I was also considering coppering the hull. What's your opinion on that? (Probably the rivets would be too smal for my scale). Regards, Paweł
-
Dealing with ropes on the sail... This is my technique of dealing with knots on the ropes. If you find it useful and accurate - have fun This way the ropes are not loose. The knots are fairly tight both ways and they keep the rope in position
