Jason Builder Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted November 28, 2015 Fit in a good amount of rigging today on the holiday day off. I'm done on it for the time being and will get back to work when the sails are ready to bend on. The base is made from cherry, gloss urethane finish, with a brass plaque. -Base model from Billing Boats -Cleats, hooks, swiss-pear dead-eyes, blocks, and rope from Syren Model Ship Co. -Various handy tools from Micro Mark -Cast Britannia metal parts from Blue Jacket -Much replacement of kit parts with shop-made wooden or metal parts -Rigging improved via web research and books by Lennarth Petersson First real wooden ship model for me, and it was very enjoyable and rewarding. I'll provide an update when the sails are ready, but that may be a while. -Jason ccoyle, Roger Pellett, petervisser and 3 others 6 Quote -Jason Completed Model Links: Billing Boats Oseberg Viking Ship Optimist Sailboat model by BlueJacket 3D printed model of a Disney Motor Launch Billing Boats FD10 Arnanes Krick Alexandra Amati Golden Yacht Ship in a Bottle My hobby website: www.argobuilder.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin H Posted January 24, 2020 Share #40 Posted January 24, 2020 I actually have one of these kits. It has been sat in it's box for about 3 years [even traveled from the UK to the US]. You have inspired me to actually get on with it. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean McKinstry Posted February 21, 2021 Share #41 Posted February 21, 2021 Hi, I love your boats and all else on display. My husband is also building this model and now it is my task to sew the sails. The plan leaves a lot to be worked out without any really detailed instructions, do the sails have a single hem or double at the edges, and do the struts go inside the hems at the outer edges? I can fit the plan onto the fabric, as I am a sewer and quilter , but anything else is not given anywhere. Any help or suggestion will be so appreciated. Greetings from Jean and Hugh McKinstry, New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxC Posted October 23, 2022 Share #42 Posted October 23, 2022 Fabulous build Jason. As a beginner I'm hugely impressed. I came looking at this because I bought this kit off of eBay last week, with a view to having a go once I've completed the Saucy Jack (my first build) which I'm working on now. I have no doubt that I'll be back again to look at your log once I eventually finish Saucy Jack.
