  1. Taking a break from Syren (awaiting some supplies) so decided to get two of the kits I have stashed away up to the decking part. I thought it might be a good idea while it was fresh in my mind all the mistakes I made with Syren - and hopefully improve.One step at a time Originally I didn't like the ply that came with the kits - it was bent - so I spend a morning building a keel clamp to straighten it up - worked a treat. I used angle brakets and drilled holes through the keel to hold it straight - and now its great - AND solid. I can lean on it and it doesn't budge. Should do this more often. I planked with pear - but unfortunately I didn't have any stock wide enough to cut the margin planks - so they are from basswood and lime wood. The will need sanding down as they are much thicker than the pear stock for the deck planks. Not sure yet how I will treat them - leave natural or stain.. time will tell. I am happier with the but joints - seem to be more in line and straighter than previous attempts. I will caulk as per Syren - so that has happened yet. Still have 8 more rows of planks to lay.l But all in all everything went well. The keel clamp thingie.... To keep the bulkheads square - I used aluminium square (hollow) tube - worked great - easy to clamp at opposite corners of each bulkhead. I forgot to take pics - I will take some with the Supply build I have also started. Onto the planking... The margin plank is not glued - just clamped so I can take it off to easily cut the joggles... I dint joggle the back end of the planks - maybe next time... thought I was pushing it a bit and might not end up very happy with it - so left well enough alone. I will cover these bits with lots of deck stuff anyway... cant have too many ropes Clamping the next bit of the margin plank to shape... No too worried about the dents from the clamps - the margin planks need to be sanded a lot down to height size anyway... One half done... only 8 rows of planks o go - up to the joggling on the second side now.. All glued.... down to the last 8 rows.. and that's all there is so far folks...
  2. Hello everyone: I have finally started the "Dos Amigos". I'm using the plans included in the book "The history of American Sailing Ships, Chapelle." I have also found some documentation in the book "Global Schooner, Marquardz", and searching, the original plans of the "Fair Rosamund" in the museum of Greenwich (It is how they renamed the boat, once captured, and the plans of the house Assembly "Golden Kits" back in the 70s / 80s. The differences between the first three planes is minimal, I believe that produced by deformations in the copies. Of the rooms the biggest difference is that the length is 2/3 cm. minor, otherwise they are quite similar. The scale is 1:50. Well, I put some photos. A greeting (Hola a todos: Por fin he comenzado el "Dos Amigos". Estoy utilizando los planos incluidos en el libro "The history of American Sailing Ships, de Chapelle". También he encontrado algo de documentación en el libro "Global Schooner, de Marquardz", y rebuscando, los planos originales del "Fair Rosamund" en el museo de Greenwich (Es como renombraron al barco, una vez capturado, y los planos de la casa de montaje "Golden Kits" de allá por los años 70/80. Las diferencias entre los tres primeros planos es mínima, considero que producida por deformaciones en las copias. De los cuartos la mayor diferencia es que la eslora es 2/3 cm. menor, por lo demás son bastante similares. La escala es 1:50. Bueno, os pongo algunas fotos. Un saludo)
  3. Hi Lads I'm starting this build log of a conversion from the scientific Kit, the Dos Amigos, into another Baltimore Clipper, the Dapper Tom. I've got this kit from eBay and I also go the Model Shipways Kit in a much larger Scale from the same source. I like more cannons, and since the solid hull of the Scientific Kit is balsa wood, I'm going to make the conversion. I hope you enjoy this adventure.
  4. In May 2020 I started the Dos Amigos slave ship by OcCre kit No.13003. Since this build is only my second build, and since I am a former technical writer, I paid close attention to the instructions. I will be playing catch up for awhile since the build has been in progress since May.
  5. I'm replanking the ship after an abysmal attempt at tree nailing. I'm planking over the original, and will sand down quite a bit when complete. I'm still uncertain whether I will tree nail or not. I'll post a pic of the replanking when complete. In the meantime, I'm toying with the idea of not mounting the swiveling cannon in the bow. Frankly, I think it looks a bit goofy....no offense to those who have built the ship with the cannon. Any ideas on some deck furniture to take the space?
