That looks excellent Frank! Very well done!
-
Thanks Ben, great minds think alike! I couldn’t resist, it was such a good deal.

So I built my rigging jig today, I’m going to assemble all the tackle and metal parts in this jig first and then when everything is dry and stable I’ll carefully transfer one gun and tackle at a time over to Winnie. I think the process won’t be too bad once I get rolling.
-
😬 I’m getting nervous just looking at that. If my little guy gets anywhere near my Winnie, she’s toast!
-
She will be here for a few more months then back to sea again... for real. I think my Winnie has more sea miles under her keel than the real one did lol! Thanks Matt, it’s reassuring to know others will be participating in the party. I’m Getting started today... I’m going to make a gun rigging jig maybe I’ll have one complete within a week🤞

That looks really good! Tree nails turned out great.
-
Can’t say She gave me any good looks when this thing rolled up in the house. Oh well. Here we go, chapter 6!
-
Hang in there Mark, take care of those eyes and get back to building when you can.

Thanks guys. haha yes Matt! I need someone to come by and help me establish a workbench that I can then be chained to. I do have a mitre saw handy currently, I may just build one quickly.
-
Alright guys, today I plucked my Winnie away from the little resort vacation storage she’s been on and brought her home. Next task is setting up a work space. I see work starting soon! Keep me honest!

This is such a great project! It’s been so rewarding every step of the way, it just gets better as you go.

Very nice work! I Can’t wait to see a finish on that!
-
For future reference, if you used PVA glue, just wet it with denatured alcohol and it will soften the glue and things will come Free easily. Looking good!

Very nice Frank! Clean and sharp!
-
How do you like the anycubic? I’ve had my eye on that one.
-
Yuck! I hate not being able to obtain permanent licenses... you become forced to “rent” a product.
-
Ahh! So make a very simple extrusion from a 2D drawing then start chipping away from there? That sounds like a great idea. I’m going to make a figurehead for another project I’m working on. May I ask what version of Zbrush you are using or what you recommend to get results that are on par with what Chuck has provided us with?
-
I think I did the .045” rope, I’ll check out yours again. I’ve been a real cannon snob and I’ve been buying Chucks turned brass ones and blackening them, I’ve been happy with those but the resin ones people are using look great as well. unfortunately I’ve haven’t invested in a 3D printer yet so off to shapeways I go with this one!
-
Ugh I know, I never look forward to rigging guns but it’s rewarding when finished. I’ve been on the fence about rigging them and sticking with Chucks recipe but then it just gets too tempting and I think I have to do it. Thanks for noticing the lanterns, once I complete chapter 6 or at least the aft end of it it, I will start with 7 and my lantern production will begin as all my LED’s are loosely awaiting their final positions. I’m toying with 3D printing them as solid units in clear and just painting the details on, they are a small production to make.
