DSiemens Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share #62 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks Garward. A small update I added the stern chasers tiller a couple cannons and the bowsprit. The cannons have proved easier with a draw plate. I used to turn all of them but they never came out the same size. I must be reading Augies build log to often because i added the Syren red gunports. The color scheme i was given called for red, gold, white and black. I had them all but read and I wasn't sure where to put it so I painted the gun ports. I think it makes them pop a little more.

Regards, John Thank you John. I enjoy your comments. Daniel, We know Augie's been an influence... but now he's good one? :D Your Mercury is a seriously good-looking ship. I can't wait to see more. Augie a good influence? Well..... Thanks for the compliment. I will try to post more as I find time. You wouldn't have any to spare would you. That is a lot of fine detail Daniel. Michael Thanks Michael. Some times I think it's to much detail for this scale but on the other hand I like pushing my self to these limits. Wow Dan, that's an awesome build in that scale. Way too small for me....Keep it up man! Thanks Texxn5. It's getting tedious at this point those darn cannons are a pain in behind. I'll keep it up though. Well it's been a while since I've posted or even been around. I blame work. I won't go into that heavily but long story short I have a ton of financials to do by yesterday and not much time for much else. Seems as though I've been too tired to reply to posts let alone build. I'm hoping to have work ship shape by the end of June though and then I can get back to the ship yard more often. I did make some progress today. Not much but some. I finished off the cannons on the port side and added the hatches. Still a lot more to go. qwerty2008 and mtaylor 2 Quote Daniel We're ship in bottle builders, it's an occupational hazard. www.siemensbottlingco.blogspot.com http://www.bottledshipbuilder.com Current Builds: Bermuda Sloop Wood Krafters Pirate Ship Completed: 20 Gun Frigate Olympic 470 Bermuda Sloop Super Mini Queen Anne's Revenge German Cutter Mercury Santa Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say I'm beating my self up so much as i am tired of work and the drama lama's of work. Makes it worse when I get home get the kiddo's to bed and then am to tired to build. Things are looking up though.

DSiemens Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share #77 Posted June 6, 2013 As a matter of fact I didn't. The hatches I made by staining a copy of the plans then cutting out the piece and gluing it on.

DSiemens Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share #80 Posted June 10, 2013 Thank you Popeye. This one is turning out to be a lot of fun. Michaiel - To some extant yea. I've been able to get a lot of detail on this ship using my printer. The windows on the sides and stern as well as the name are all printed and glued on with some paint touch ups. I like adding the detail just to see if I can.
