mathewp Posted May 6, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 6, 2013 This Ship reminds me a lot of the Spanish Galleons with the high stern. Looking good. I'll definately like to see her when she's all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted May 6, 2013 Hi Thank you kindly for your remarks. The model is based on Chucks MSW MAYFLOWER.The barrels where rubbed down with wirewool to take the shine off and to give them a key,painted matblack,let dry ,then scraped it off useing my nail its softer than a blade, then polished useing my finger andsome tinted wax.

tony Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted June 7, 2013 [Just a few pics,and has anyone got an easy way of making kevels? AL has 2 bits off wood stuck at an angle to a flat piece of wood. CaptainSteve 1 Quote mayflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvesvidal Posted June 7, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 7, 2013 Tony, Congratulations on your Mayflower. It looks that you turned your Artesania Latina kit into a Mayflower II replica, similar to the Model Shipways kit. That is exactly what I intend to do with the Constructo kit. How would you compare the two kits (AL versus Constructo) ? See my review here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2260-kit-review-mayflower-165-by-constructo/ Thanks Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnside63 Posted June 30, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 30, 2013 I just bought this kit at a garage sale. It has the text instructions and the large sheet illustrations. It is missing the photo booklet. Do you have this that could be scanned and emailed to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvesvidal Posted August 26, 2013 Share #18 Posted August 26, 2013 Tony, Beautiful work and great progress on the rigging. I was wondering what motivated you to install cannons on your Mayflower model. Thanks Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share #19 Posted August 27, 2013 Hi Yves. Thanks for the comments,much appreciated.The problem with rigging is that it takes so long for so little,I have just started on the ratlines on the fore mast. Regards the cannons,they came with kit and it seemed like a good idea at the time to add the bucket and the other bitsI having a day off tomorrow I am going down to see the MAY ROSE I watched them bringing her up on tv. HAVEYOU STARTED YOURS YET. All the best Tony Quote mayflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
