You are doing a fabulous job Giorgio.  Your model resembles the Benjamin W. Latham.  Since both did the same thing they would be similar.  The fun is going to be all the iron work when you start getting into the masts and rigging.  How did you make the cap on the bowsprit?

Hi David, you're very kind. I simply used a 0.25mm thick brass strip. This is properly bended around the bowsprit to create also the lugs at 0° and 180°. Bended lugs are then soldered.

After installed onto the bowsprit, two holes  at 90° and 270° are prepared to receive lugs made from wire.

This is not really correct, but after painting the overall effect is good. 

 

Ciao, and happy Christmas to you and to the other friends.

 

Giorgio

Hi all! Long time to prepare masts and accessories.

 

In particular mast hoops: first prepared turning a copper tube. Not ok.

Then soldering copper strips. Not ok.

Finally, wrapping paper around a wood rod. Result ok!!

 

Ciao!

Ciao Giorgio

 

Finally went through your entire building log.  Well Done!!!!    What are you using for rigging plans, including block and rope sizes and belaying points?   This is always a sore point with me as I cannot find a really good single source.  Chappelle has several Gloucester vessels'  block lists, and most plans have sail plans, but I have not found a good set of drawings showing the run of the lines right down to the belaying points.    Chappelle is a huge help, but a royal pain to use as each chapter is alphabetical from anchor to windlass.  Even with the many great details he shows, it is not complete as far as rigging.

 

 Ciao

Hi Allan, I appreciate your post, thank you.

The Ingomar is mainly based on the Chapelle book, other books are shown in my first post. Furthermore I've bought 20 years ago a  useful drawing from David Mc Gregor. This helps, but the problem is always the same: it's not easy to find a definitive source about rigging. For example, I wonder if crosstrees shall be installed! About the rope, I bought Chuck Passaro ropes in the diameter I suppose fit better in my scale. Anyway, I think the better source is Chapelle book.

I'm going to update the build log in the next days: these pictures show the masts simply fitted in their holes, and not completely aligned. 

I hope to exchange more  informations about fishing schooners with you!

 

Ciao,

Giorgio

 

P.S.: the b/w picture in the first photo shows Neil Armstrong as a child with a aircraft flying model. I'm a RC-aeromodeller also!

Giorgio,

 

My copy of the SAME BOOK arrived this past Monday!!!! Che coincendenza!   I found it on line for US$6.   

 

I am experimenting again with making blocks with internal strops. The method seems to be very good for large sizes, and OK for small (1/8") blocks.  If I can perfect it a little I will take photos and post.

 

Ciao

I have made one to six trips a year to Italy for the past 30 year, mainly for my job so I had to learn to speak a little Italian as a result.  I think there are more cab drivers in Firenze and Milano that speak English than in New York though ^_^

 

I may start a log on the Effie M. Morrissey as I do not want this to turn into a hijack of your log.  I really  look forward to your progress on the rigging.

Hi all. Long time since last post.

I'm a discontinued builder, although continuously interested to read NRG forum and books.

 Anyway, masts are installed, anchors are ready, obtained from a 2mm thick brass plate.

Ciao!

Now is time to think to the cabin.

Hi Giorgio

 

Phew!!! I almost had a heart attack thinking that you'd given up building your beautiful ship! I'm glad that's not the case, because I'm keen to keep following your future updates.

 

All the best.
