alittle more of the deck planking completed....
-
this takes me back to my Bellona build.......i altered a few things on mine noticeably the gunports which turned out ok in the end.....corel kits are sparse on instructions but this is a great looking ship when completed....
-
second planking well underway now.....nothing fixed in position yet including transom...and some more deck planking done.
-
looking superb...
-
second planking has begun...transom not yet fixed permanently ....and my rudimentary plank former...travel iron and push pins...
-
cheers Hamilton....1st planking not too bad.....i find the first planking always tedious, you have to do it but seems to drag on....not as bad as rats though...
-
first planking nearing completion....just a few little issues need sorting and a few more planks on starboard side need placing....then a good sanding ready for planking 2
-
Rudder, not yet fixed in final position.
-
the transom is not yet fixed, just there to get a feel of its final position. The first planking is slowly getting there.
-
whilst i'm on with the first planking I like to get on with some of the deck furniture between the glue drying.
-
R.I.P. Ma'am...
-
a little of Peregrines transom completed....the 50p coin shows just how small this build is....brings its own set of problems.
-
frames and the first lower decks added....this is a tiny model and will probably pose just as many problems as much bigger kits..
-
the camera can hide a lot of defects but cheers...
-
first planking continues
-
i have started corels Endeavour.....it will be interesting to see the differences between the two kits.
-
the whole transom is assembled off the main hull, attached at a later date supported by 3 walnut beams already assembled on the model one of which can be seen (29) in the window aperture of diagram 15-3
-
yes it is an instruction for the vertical planking....i will post a pic of the instruction......thanks for following....i am a builder that just follows the kit instructions.....I am not overly concerned about the accuracy of the ship i am building, for me it is an enjoyable hobby....
-
a little deck planking done, and the transom (not attached yet)....I like to jump ahead of the plans just to see how things will pan out ...gives me a feel for the ship
-
just go out and enjoy your model making...there are too many people in this world that get hung up over trivia...
-
I like to add some deck fittings very early on to all my builds to get a feel of the finished ship. These will be permanently fitted at a later date but just gives a view further down the line.
-
The smallest ship i am taking on......nothing for months then along come two...this and Endeavour.
-
Greyhound is in front of Bellona.......about the same scale as Bellona.......the cuban tasted wonderful and apart from machine made guantanamara cigars the rest are getting more expensive by the second.....I know the crop was decimated by hurricanes so the price has gone into orbit, but the tax here on tobacco is bonkers.
-
Whilst Endeavour is in the news recently I have decided to get it from the shelf and start to build whilst finishing the rigging on Unicorn. A couple of pics of the initial few ist planks.
