Kevin got a reaction from PeterB010 in St Nectan by Kevin - FINISHED - Mountfleet Models - 1/32 - Steam Trawler - Completed June 2020
Good afternoon everyone
been thinking of how to display this 6 foot monster, and what configuration i would like to display, any ideas gratefully accepted
anyway with that in mind, i did a few detail bits
made the lockers look like they opened, still to be painted
a stash of barrels
and the ash chutes are fixed into position

Good morning everyone
Thank you for the likes and comments
the boom rigging will be done at a later date when i have a better understanding of where all the lines go, also depending on how she will be displayed
work progresses on the build, and i am thoroughly enjoying it, yesterday the stanchions above the ladders were completed,sprayed with white primer and a grime wash put on top
the big parts that were made up a few months ago and now being fitted, another week or so, i may have to put her on hold, as the hull will then require work and its just too wet/damp to do it,

Kevin got a reaction from Retired guy in Clotilda by popeye the sailor - Steingraeber - 1:60 scale - slave ship - modified Agilis kit
good morning my friend, lovely to catch up on your build, they look great
i think i retired at the wrong time, perhaps you can blame me for the world falling apart, because ever since the end on Jan it has
here in the UK, it has been very interesting watching how our government has handled the plague, lots has been done to support a vast majority of workers, and support shown for all the front line services
Its a strange world, but for the first time in my life i am getting board of the BBC news reporters and there interpretation of events, LOL they had 3 years of Brexit and telling us how it could not be done, and it was, and since then they have not been able to report on anything apart from the weather and the corvid outbreak, telling us that this or that is not going to work and it has
i quess that if i was working, i would be less aware of what was going on, rather than hearing or seeing updates every 2 minutes,
still i am getting my build done, DIY continues, weather is fantastic for gardening, plenty to eat and drink, so for me a day in retirement, is no different to being retired

made a tiny bit of progress yesterday....I worked on the second hull. added some deck beams for the fore deck...
also drilled the anchor hawse holes. I used eyelets to trim them out
started to work on the cabins......haven't gotten too far on them. should have them for the next update.

Today I received blocks and deadeyes from U.K. I will not need so many for Wills rigging as it is rather simple. In the weekend I hope to start with making the masts and booms as well as mounting more equipment on deck.
I can also share a picture of where I stand with the diorama. The plaster wall sections have all been molded and attached to the quay side. I had an idea of mixing pigment into the plaster, but could not get the color even between the batches. Next step is to spray a layer of shellac and maybe start to paint it. The real painting will wait until I have made the bottom and ground on the quay side. My intent is not to show any water surface. Instead I will build clear acrylic stands from the bottom.
On the quay there is yet only the coal merchants office and a railway track. The wagons are in OO scale (1:76). I bought them preowned from U.K.
Cheers

Treating the depressions in the dowels with warm water went well. After drying over night I have continued with assembling them. The lower parts of the masts ares square and short pieces of square material is glued to the round lengths. The instruction calls for a reinforcement of a brass wire in the center, but even so one of the joins got loose when I started to sand it. To fix it I tried epoxy glue for the first time, it worked very well.
For the gaff sail I replaced the plastic piece from the kit with some mahogany that I had left from my previous build. I did this mainly to be able to use stain and not having to paint it.
Finally I have stained all the pieces and will them dry thoroughly.
But after that I'm sort of stuck with regard to the ship building. I'm waiting for the replacement blocks and deadeyes that I ordered from Vanguard Models. I will start to focus on the diorama instead.
Cheers

A bit of googling led me to another build log for an older version of the kit. If showed the missing details.
The parts shall be mounted like this (which fits under the steering cabin).
Cheers
