Dan Vadas Posted August 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2015 Hi all, My neighbour just handed me a Yacht that may or may not have been made somewhere in Asia, or could be Scratchbuilt, to do a Restoration on. It's not too bad for what it is - a couple of cracks in the hull (which makes me think Asian), the masts are loose, it's VERY dirty, and the rigging needs re-tying. It shouldn't take me more than a couple of days (where have I heard THAT before? ) Danny gieb8688, Mirabell61, Piet and 13 others 16 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

Dan Vadas Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted September 4, 2015 A few more pics before I started dismantling things. I decided it was easier to pull the whole thing apart and start over : The crack in the hull. It turned out to only be the bulwark had come loose : The original "Chains", some rusty nails : Someone had attempted to re-glue the bowsprit using Stud Adhesive (sheesh) : Everything removed : Continued in next post ......

Dan Vadas Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted September 4, 2015 .... continued. I repainted the deck, fittings and cabin and painted a red stripe down the side to cover my repairs to the bulwarks and also to make it "sing" a bit more : And five minutes ( ) later I had it all re-rigged. It actually took me about a week, as I've had a bad back and couldn't spend more than a couple of hours a day on it : For my efforts I'm going to charge a bottle of a nice Single Malt Scotch - it sounds better than asking $80 for the work on a decorative model they bought in a garage sale for $5.00 . Note ; please don't follow any of the rigging I've done on this on your own model - nothing is "authentic", but it looks OK for what it is.

amateur Posted September 4, 2015 Share #9 Posted September 4, 2015 We won't follow the rigging plan, although I'm pretty sure that it is better than what the Asian factory did a couple of years ago Jan avsjerome2003, mtaylor, Dan Vadas and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
