Hey, Louie! Long story short - I moved from Brazil to Argentina and will get my ships later this year - I got some wood bugs to the kit unfortunately, but hope I killed them good before I moved here. I´ll be back soon, maybe with yet another build, since I´m close to buy a HMS Victory, from Sergal if prices be rigth. Thanks for asking and sorry for the time it got to me to answer! -
Tank you Piet!
-
The stern has the cabin. The bow is open so the anchor can be more easily handled. The rudder can be lowered or brought up depending on water depht. The rudder design tells a lot, since there are regional designs. Sails too!
-
Hope not so much. For what I've seen, the junk rig can be pretty practical. Will get there soon 😄
-
And here are some pictures. First one to see how It would be like. Test the blocks and such, since I intended to let the sails a bit functional. I researched through some papers I found and the rigging seems to be too close to the kit's instructions, so I decided to go along with them. Second one with the sail on it's place. Ropes are still loose till I find a way to set them as I want - won't use the instructions for that. Third one details the ropes that pin the sail to the mast. That part was a little bit challenging as the thread was already sewed to the sail. Next post I'll show the sail in place, just waiting for the other 2 to be rigged.

We Will, Popeye! Life is short, after all. 😉😉 Thought I would post the rigging till last weekend, but couldn't. Got to DM my 23 years AD&D tablet and time flew.
-
For sure! Thank you very much!
-
My many thanks, Dee Dee! You helped me a lot and I will always be thankful for your gift. I've already rigged the main mast's sail. 😄

Thank you, Mark, from both of us! Ty very much! She has already helped with some sewing, 😀. Can't say If she'll bem as passionate as me but, who knows? My many thanks! That's How I feel everytime I come back - in family. Thanks, Sam. Bring me a smile thinking my wife building at my side. For the time being, she's very careful with them. Thank you for all the likes, ppl! I'll be posting an update this weekend!

Have to say it's a great kit. Even though I won't use some fittings and all, still gave me much fun. It's a great kit to bash, too, as the junks have so many variants in build and shape through time. And thanks! 😊

We can open any of your pictures and Just stay there for a Lot of time, mesmerized by your workmanship. I only dream to be as good some day. You're an artist for sure. -
Great work so far, Götz!

Well, as people asked, here are some pictures from my marriage. In the first one me and my wife with my dad, and the second one at the celebration: cake time! And some pictures on my progression. I searched for better sail pictures before sewing mine and found the gains on sewing them in stripes weren't that big. Don't know If I could do better, but think they are fine. I have some papers on junk sails rigging and will try to use them when the time comes - hope next weekend.
-
I'll bring some pictures; It was a small celebration, a very happy one, through. 😉😉 The ring to rule them all, have to add! 😀😀😀 Muito obrigada! Piet, my many thanks. I'm finally back and savoring this step. Got the last sail now, rigging is on my way.
-
Thanks, Louie! I sleep looking to my ships. I'll get back to her as soon as I find the wood l need to close all cabins and such. This modifying thing of mine requires some extra wood 😬
-
Thanks Popeye! Good to see you here! I'll be rigging them sails in no time! (Well, soon, I Hope).
-
Beautifully done! Top quality build and ideas.
-
Great start! I'll be following.

Hola, Ulises! Thank you for the welcome! I may be a little slow in my builds, but won't give up on them! I'm really happy to be back. Ty, sir. I'm a lucky girl for being so well received by a most respected crew as It happens in these shores! Well, World os getting crazy all over again. Hope we can live It through. Thank you, and I'm happy for my marriage and for having you, digital chaps, as friends. It's always great to come back. My many thanks! Won't bem promising much, but will try to stay a little lingerie this time. Hey, Scott! Thank u. I'm already full of myself after the first one. The other two are waiting for their time just this weekend. Hope to be rigging them on place very soon! Be welcome mate! Thank you 😊
