Hello AJohnson and Knocklouder - Thank you for the comments. Haven’t got anything planned as have now run out of space but in time we will see when I miss making them. Regards Doug
-
Hello - All finished. Barrels (supplied with kit) done with tape for metal hoops. All rope coils done although I can see in photo one has come unstuck. It was a nice build to do. Thank you all for looking and the encouraging comments and the 'Likes' Regards Doug
-
Hello - Okay one of the last few things crossed off the list. The ship's boat - this is supplied with the kit. A pre formed hull with wooden parts for the seats, oars and the rudder. The hinges and green stripe are tape. Regards Doug
-
Hello - small update. The Motley Crew painted and ready to go aboard, The detail is incredible given the very small size of the characters. Wasn't expecting the dog. Now all aboard..... Thank you for looking and the 'Likes' Rope coils and small rowing boat yet to do and that should be that. Regards Doug
-
Hello - a question for Chris Watton. Cannot see on the Vanguard website that you have the crates for sale that James H mentions in the build manual for Saucy Jack. Tried going through the contact page on the website but in pressing the submit button nothing seemed to happen. If you could please let me know as have the fishermen figures in the basket awaiting to order. Thank you Doug
-
Hello - Finish line in sight. Change of image quality as now using mobile phone 'cos camera has been sent off for repairs - but still the same dodgy build work though. Inner Jib in place and all tied off. Outer Jib Just remembered the Rudder Hinges needed doing......... Final picture Thank you very much for your comments - SiriusVoyager - Knocklouder - Jim Lad -AJohnson plus the 'Likes' The small boat / barrels to paint plus some more rope coils to do. Thank you for looking Regards Doug
-
Hello - further updates. All rigging associated to the two main sails done and tied off. Did find tying off onto the belaying pins a little tricky...... Final picture Thank uou for looking and the 'Likes' - much appreciated. Regards Doug
-
Hello - Shrouds as instructions completed. Next The Ratlines and the Mast Stays all done. Thanks for looking Regards Doug
-
Hello - Update. Sails dyed using Rit Scarlet first - did not like the colour so re did with Rit Cocoa Brown. The sails shrunk a little bit with the dye process so the timber work was altered to suit. Next stage will attempt the Shrouds etc. Thank you for looking, the previous comments and Likes. Thank you Regards Doug
-
Hello - an update. Mast / Bowsprit / Gaffs shaped where necessary, blocks fitted etc. Chainplates and Deadeyes fitted as instructions. View from Stern Next - dye the sails, Thank you for looking in. Regards Doug
-
Hello - Deck bits and pieces completed. Tried to make the handles smaller but they got too small to handle. The Capstan was a bit fiddly or was that just me? Thank you for looking and the 'Likes'. Thank you Chris for your kind comment above. Regards Doug
-
Hello - The Hull now completed. Waterline done (may need a slight alteration towards the stern) / Wale in place along with the upper trim with the green area. The green was the same as James H used but with added yellow and white. The Stern section completed along with the upper capping rails View of the Stern. Required some sanding to merge all the different areas together. Deck bits and pieces next. Thank you Doug
-
Hello cdrusn88 - fast build. Good to see another Saucy Jack being build. Nice work. Look forward to the finish pictures.
-
Hello - One hull second planked. Glad to have got that done as it is starting to feel like a boat. Bulkheads removed and deck in place - neat fit. Also side strips in place. Rudder assembled and temporarily in place as the next step is to sort the Waterline and paint the Hull white. Thank you for looking. Doug
-
Hello - Further progress. First planking completed - not pretty but hopefully a good base for second planking, Second layer added to Keel and pegged. Also rear sections glued into place - this was a bit tricky especially getting the lower section to bend round. Managed at a later stage to break off the top part of the upper rear section - hence window pieces have come off before their were required. Also glued on the side parts. Next stage is the second planking. Thank you for looking. Regards Doug
