donrobinson Posted December 22, 2016 Author #340 Posted December 22, 2016 Good Morning Mike, Thanks for stopping in. The Trajta is a fine looking boat and kit, I love the bow on her. I don't blame you for wanting to pull her out. You will enjoy building her and will end up with a great model. I am just finishing up the ships stove, almost done "accessorising" it and may have some pictures later.

donrobinson Posted January 27, 2017 Author #345 Posted January 27, 2017 And some more: Installing knightheads( 3 x 3 mm) and top timbers There are waterways to be installed, mine kept splitting on me so I spread some ca on them to strengthen them, and as you can see it bled though to the good side. Time to make new ones. Then I decided rather than cutting out notches for all the top timbers in the waterway and going through more frustration I will install them on top of the waterway so.............. then I decided it was time for a change...the windlass. This was made from cherry turned on the lathe what you see here is the fourth attempt, I also replaced the supports and made them from cherry also. This showing the filed down nail used to make the holes square. This is an idea I got from DocBlake. Gluing .5 x 1 mm strips onto drum The finished product, still needs one or two more coats of wipe on poly. The fancy ends are inspired by B.E.'s cathead decoration on his Pegasus Thanks for stopping by Cabbie, canoe21, mrshanks and 24 others 27 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus

donrobinson Posted January 27, 2017 Author #353 Posted January 27, 2017 Hey Mike, Thanks for stopping in. The stove stays on deck, I am still unsure as how I will secure it as I would think it might have been portable. The coin I just heated it up pounded it with hammer until thin enough then just shaped over a 1/2" steel rod. I should have taken some pictures. If I get the chance I will do it again and document Seventynet, Eddie, EJ_L and 3 others 6 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus
