Adrieke got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Gorch Fock by Adrieke - OcCre - 1:95
Finally I am back to building on the GF
while I am slowly working on finishing the hull I have prepared a whole lot of the deck fittings
I have stored them in containers with the manual numbering on them so I can easily retrieve when needed
this weekend I spend mostly painting

After fitting the trimming channels in the same way as the mooring bits I started putting in the hatches and the hull side windows and decided not to glue these items onto the surface as directed by AL kit but recessed them into the hull.
This was not an easy task but looks so much better.

Have come to the next stage of adding items to the hull and deck.
It's moments like now a small lathe would do wonders as I made the mooring bits but using a file does not give the perfect finished look.I have also put in nails into the mooring bits and cut off the heads which hopefully anchor the items more securely and will do will do this with all my fixtures on the decks

thanks Kevin
first a picture of my work area after the changes. on the right the 2 workbenches made from a 5 tier shelving unit.
no progress tonight
as I am trying to catch up with the Black Pearl build ( I am about 7 issues behind) this build might slow down a bit during the next weeks.
pictures show the holes I finished off during the weekend

Adrieke reacted to Sjors in HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64
Yes, I'm still building....
Not to much because of other things that has to be done.
So it is time for a little update.
I have made the gratings, stairs, railings, timber heads, belfry and a few more of that little stuff.
I think it will come clear when you see the pictures.
I know that you will see dust but I have no time to clean
If I clean it, 10 seconds later you will see dust again......
Enough talking, time for pictures !

Adrieke got a reaction from hexnut in Eden Killer Whale museum
We went on a road trip to Melbourne last week and stopped over at a little place halfway called Eden
Beside the beautiful views there is also the Killer Whale museum.
It is small but had some nice model ships.
Interesting fact that at certain times the killer whales worked together with the Whalers to catch Whales

I have made quite some progress since my last post.
The stern work has been a challenge as the poop pieces were larger in width to the formed stern area when planking and I have had to make some major corrections which where a little disappointing as I feel the kit was not quite correct.
I have also built some scratch pieces to reflect the finished edges to the area as built in the replica

I copied the detail from this photo.

I have decided to build the replica and had to do a fair bit of research and look at heaps of photos on the web.
These photos are the next step on my journey.
Along the way I have made a few mistakes and had to do some major repairs,especially on the bow area and the wales but I think I managed at least some good repairs.
Snoepert.
I start spraying the bottom of the hull only to find I would have been better to hand paint instead.
So I did the rest of the painting by hand
I noticed the wales were uneven.
So I did major repair work and it looks better.

Further progress is being made.
Big mistake I made was not to check on the quantity of the Mukell timber strips I had left after finishing the decking.
Consequently I ran out and thought I had a delema on my hands.
Thank god for Float a Boat who seems to have everything.

Hi fellow Endeavor builders. I have just finished filling and sanding my first layer of planking and have begun with my second planking and so far is going better than my expectations.
-
Adrieke reacted to Snoepert in HMB Endeavor by Snoepert - Artesania Latina - 1:60
Just a few more planks . I am finding to wood is not as good as the bamboo I used on the SOS as I find bamboo is at least a bit more flexible.
I am going to need to do a bit of filling and solid sanding to get the hull right for second planking.

I have just spent 3 days on the Pacific Jewel celebrating Australia Day on Sydney Harbour and out at sea.
Took the opportunity to take a few shots of the Endeavor Replica and have put them on for all to see

I have done some more planking on the hull but am not happy how it is going.
I seem to be getting a bad overlap between the planks and I think it is more own fault as I haven't fared the bulkheads enough.
Maybe when it comes to sanding I may have to fill some areas. Thank god it's only the first planking and I can correct still at this time.

I have done some more work on my project and find as usual the planking a little challenging,however I am a quitter and will progress.
I have started to mark up the deck and do a clear lacquer over it to protect it.
Also decided to fix the part keel on to guide the planking on the bottom of the boat.

Well I have finally started the planking and found it a little daunting to start with due to the slack instructions and photo's.
I was having a problem getting a true line and trying to understand how the wales tapered down.I finally got it running but noted a little pointed bit at bulkhead 10.
On the next plank below I will chamfer slightly to gain a more true line.

A little more of the deck work was carried out today.
One mistake I made was not to use a sharp drill and I blurred the deck near the mast hole,hopefully this will be covered by the mast ring
Can anyone suggest what stain I should use on the deck.I have some cedar stain and lacquer and has come up quite well on the SOS.

Adrieke reacted to Snoepert in HMB Endeavor by Snoepert - Artesania Latina - 1:60
I have worked a bit more on the boat and decided to use polyester cotton run through bees wax for the caulking on the decks that I have started to carry out.
Needed to trim back the deck on the stern to match the preformed gallery area.
I would like to attach some photo's in my reply but not sure how.
Can someone advise me on the process.
Thanks
Snoepert
I worked it out,beginners luck.

Hi Shipmates,
While I wait for more parts for the SOS I have begun the Endeavor.
I find this kit by Artesania Latina not as good a quality as the De Agostini kit I am also working with.
There is much more detailed explanation and coding in De Agostini's kit.
This one will be my second attempt at a larger boat.
I will post progress as things happen for comments and hints if I am going wrong.
Thanks
