Greetings again !!!! Well these photos get better with every post, must have lost your Kodak box brownie. Yep excellent build Jerry. Does this really need to be encase ? It should be easy to keep clean as it is now, just in its stand. Well done. DAVID. Started on Diana's keel tonight. -

Greetings Tim And another caldercrafts victory on its way. Good luck with your build. As usual the best advice is take your time and just enjoy it. There's advice galore on the site with so many Victory builds going on. Best wishes DAVID

Greeting Jerry I have returned !!!! Well done on the almost conclusion of your Half Moon, (does this eclipse all of your other builds ?). get it !! And now a decision whether or not to start another build or take a rest. So you have also acquired an Apprentice, and that will prob take a small bit of time up. I well remember starting my Apprenticeship which took five years in the olden days ( I was going to say many Moons ago) Dont ask about this Caroline thing in front of me!!! I am now ready to stick the last Port side and Stern windows on and then a break from it to lay the keel on the Diana, which I promised to do. So good luck to you both with the Bounty, and the best advice I can give is don't get a Dog!!!!! Take care.....DAVID

Greeting Glenn Well done with your rudder. I found it an awkward job and said I was not happy with it, but yours certainly looks ok to me. Don't forget to add coils around the belaying pins before you add any of the rigging. Also around the rail on both sides of the bell if you follow. Well done. DAVID

Greetings Marsalv Wonderful build, something to be really proud of. I am at the moment building the RC, and yours and other build logs make the panart plans more or less irrelevant, your build is a joy to follow. Regards DAVID

Greetings Glenn Well she's getting there now, and looking very good. So it's the rudder next, and what can we all see in the background !!!! A big wagon has came out out of the forest in the background, and it's loaded with tree trunks!!!!!! ! Whey Hey !!!!!! Lathe on the way??? DAVID

Hello Paul Your work on the caronades is excellent, and the whole deck area is very crisp and clean . Well done Paul. I don't fully understand by your question, about comparisons . DAVID

Greetings And welcome to MSW with your Bounty, and a cracking kit at that. I reckon the best advice you can be given is, just take your time and enjoy yourself. You will find any advice you ever need will be in abundance. Regards DAVID

Greetings Robert It's going like a dream. And the deck planking is excellent. Unless you have, don't fit the canon ball racks ( cannot remember the correct name for them) until you complete the work on the deck. keep them to one side and add a couple of coats of varnish to the assembly to ensure the canon ball stay connected. The road you know again . Well done Robert . DAVID
-
Greetings Glenn Not far to go now on the canons and lids, and it's all looking fine. Did you buy a lathe for the making of the masts??? I have not looked back through your log but I remember it being mentioned to me a while back. Well done keep enjoying it .DAVID
-
Greetings Robert Well once again you are really moving on at pace, and it all looks very good to me. Good luck with the copper plating, the way this is going they will prob be completed by Friday. Regards .DAVID

Hello Jerry and Nemad Thanks a lot for the link Nemad. no problem with motivation. Jerry sculpy is an art form of creating figurines and the likes, like Michelangelo used to do, but he used brick and concrete. I am using a sort of plasticine stuff which you bake in the oven. Up to now I have made a scone and a morf. Being serious Jerry some builders on the site have produced excellent work using this medium. I shall give it a whirl and see how it goes, I can only fail.

Greetings all Well the first update for a while. There's not a lot more been achieved since my last post. As you can see I have been working on the cabin doors and windows, with one window to left to install. As some of you will notice the drips on the doors are not the same size as those on the windows, and they should be. That's because this drip here used the wrong walnut rings. So one more window to complete and all tidied up. As you can see I have bought some sculpy and a set of tools and will give it a whirl. Tools were £2.33p and came post free from China. I have bee searching around the site for a few logs were builders have used sculpy. I did spot a few a while back, but cannot now locate them, so can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks a lot for all your comments, and for viewing. Here are a few photos. DAVID

Paul. That last picture I sent was not of my ship, I wish it was. It is one of Chucks. I have deleted the photo in case it is the wrong protocol posting others pictures. Anyway you get the idea DAVID

Greetings Jerry And now onto the running rigging and more enjoyment.,the build seems to have gone well, and I like the view looking down the port side from the stern. You were about right on the clove hitches on the victory, I had approx 1060 on the foremast. I am having a go at some sculpy work, and will post soon. Good luck with you rigging. Regards DAVID

Greetings Heinz Welcome back with more progress. And very impressive at that. If you intend not to add the coppering to the hull, will you also be leaving all other areas such as the galleries plain wood ? Well done Heinz. DAVID

Hello Robert Maybe you could patent that jig, it looks rather good. Yes the work on the canons and rigging them is really fiddly. I don't know about the frigging bit, there's lots of that during the frigging rigging, mark my words. Any way good luck with the guns. Try to enjoy it. DAVID
-
Greetings Glenn. Well it looking good, and the port side should be a doddle now. I like the photo looking down the side of the ship. I did not dare take mine outside in case I dropped it going down the stairs. Keep enjoying it glenn. Alas no MOTD tonight for me. DAVID

Greetings Robert Excellent progress, you are really moving on. Good luck with the tedious job of fitting the linings. DAVID

Greetings Jerry I built the billing boat bounty a lot of years ago, but I passed it onto my father to finish as I thought the rigging was beyond me, so he completed it. Your wife herself should enjoy building the Bounty, and I bet you will enjoy watching the progress. Did I tell you what happened when I started building the bounty which was my first build.??? This is honestly true. We had a Springer spaniel (spangles) which always got lots of attention and exersise, then the bounty build started and took over the attention and walkies. I came home from work one day and the wife announced that spangles had wrecked my ship. The figurehead was chewed off plus other various damage. One of the chaps at work had decided to write a log of my progress during the build, and the next morning he asked me for the progress report on the build. I told him the xxxxxxxx dog had chewed it up. The entry in the log was.......ship wrecked by sea dog... Keep up the good work on your half moon, and don't forget the admiral needs to now join MSW...............regards.....DAVID

Greetings Jerry Well done Jerry you are buzzing through the rat lines with no probs. it looks like this build will be soon over the way it is going. I have bought the Caldercraft DIANA, and will build it along side the Caroline, with the emphasis on the making and fitting of all the Caroline windows fitted before starting any work at all on the DIANA. Keep up the good work, running rigging next . DAVID ,
