Adrieke got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in King of the Mississippi by Adrieke - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:80 - with LED lighting July 17, 2019

on 8/12/13 at 2:30 PM I put the last piece in place

I started this build august 2012

I had 2 months of no building due to hull planks being off the wrong size which meant there weren't enough of them

during the build I decided to add led lighting which added a lot off extra work

a few months ago I also had almost a 2 moth break because of an infection and allergic reactions

during this build I also lost a good friend who was also building this model

finishing the model at times was partially sad and frustrating but I was determined not to give up

now that she is finished I feel a load has lifted and although with every look I take I see the many mistakes I made I feel proud

here a few quick pictures, I will take some better pictures including with lights on for the gallery

thanks Lawrence the deck planking was a lot of work an di did make a mistake which I was able to cover up . the wire I used was the smallest they had in the store and as I am not an expert I thought its better to have it thicker then necessary. if I do lights in the future I will be looking more at some of the other options like optic fibre . anything to not have to solder too much lol

thanks Popeye

thanks Robbyn recently I did some searching for Tblacks scratch build of the vinal haven. he needed a eagle statue. I found some railroad websites and find out HO scale is pretty close to the scale of this ship. so maybe, once I got some budget again, I ll see if there are some figures and horses I can find for her

thanks Rick

from what I have seen so far of your build Rick it will be even better and the working paddle wheel is awesome

ok the daily update pictures :

railings are done on one side

I have also added the capstan

this pictures shows more clearly the 2 breaking points above the deck and less visible the break I fixed before the mast was put in place

but I have good news. OcCre has put a whole extra dowel in of the correct size in the GF kit. a try with some of the oak stain I have cam out ok. not completely the same color but close enough

so tomorrow I will make the new one : tapered and stained before I ll rip the other one out (just in case I change my mind)

what is left once that is done:

- railings on one side
- rig the mast with the gangplank (which is already constructed)
- inspect all the railings and triangles and touch up any spots unpainted
- varnish the railings, masts and gangplank
- and finally hoist the flag

Adrieke reacted to Sjors in San Ildefonso by Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:70 December 7, 2013

A little update......
If you can call it an update !
No Pictures this time because.......I make a mistake !
The shrouds for the mizzen mast where on the ship but.....WRONG ROPE !!!!!!!
I was cleaning up the workbench and I was looking again at the rope that I've got.
Then I see a few rolls with thicker tread , 0.80
Strange ....so I look at the plans and yep, that rope should be going to use for the shrouds......instead of 0,50
So I have to remove the shrouds that's on it and have to change it.....
One luck for me....I don't like it as it was.
So tomorrow demolition and doing it again on the mizzen mast.....

Adrieke reacted to RGL in HMB Endeavour by RGL -FINISHED - Artesania Latina December 7, 2013

Mizzen topmast stays. This was the most difficult as the thimble that goes on the end of the stay had to be put on whilst it was rigged. fat fingers and backstays do not mix. Now to have some fun and rig the blocks under and over the shrouds.

So I added the whistle and "steam blowdown muffler" to my funnel assembly. Except for some cleaning up and painting here it is:
