mayflower by tony - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1/64 second build, bashed.

]The repairs are finished, some some tidying up to do.So its back to some buildig alast

 

 

The blok was done by drilling holes in some scrap, glueing pieces to the ends, painting it black, rigging the block, then glueing it to the underside of the deck

 

Nothing has been glued yet.The cannon is to give the angle of the ladders,the barrels to see if they need moveing

Really like your build, looking forward to seeing your finished ship. How did you mAke your barrels?

[mathewp]

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.

[tony]

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.

angle to a flat piece of wood.

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

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?

[tony]

Started the rigging.all looks a bit messy,a bit like Spaghetti Junction.

Tony,

 

Beautiful work and great progress on the rigging. I was wondering what motivated you to install cannons on your Mayflower model.

 

Thanks

Yves

[tony]

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

[tony]

Hi Rick

       Thanks for the kind words.I did start to follow Chucks version, then the crash,So I had to go on my own.Are you going to add sails.

 

    Thanks again

 

 Tony

[tony]

The wife reckons MSW has been a bad influence,with on the shelf and next build.In my heading I said this was my second build, the first was over 50 years ago.The MAYFLOWER was a present but I can now say on the shelf is my next build having  just bought the SANTA MARIA by AMATI.
