Michael, Granado, like all my builds, will go in a case and will replace one of the models on display in my home. I'm on a "one in, one out" system, so one older model will have to go. For those interested, my next build will be the schooner Halifax from a Lumberyard POF timbering set.

rafine Posted March 12, 2017 Author #516 Posted March 12, 2017 Nils, this will be a semi-scratch build. I will probably post it as a kit build since much of the framing is laser cut. The scale is 1:48. Rich, most of the models have been given to family and friends. I have donated a few to charitable auctions. I do still have 9 in the house.

HIPEXEC Posted March 12, 2017 #517 Posted March 12, 2017 It sounds like they've been multiplying like rabbits! Since my last two models took almost two years each to build...those 9 models would represent 18 years of my slow work.

rafine Posted March 12, 2017 Author #519 Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks so much Koen and the "likes". Rich, I have been building for about 50 years. I have been retired for almost 20. Most of my recent builds have been in the 1 to 1 1/2 year category. My wife would agree that they have been multiplying like rabbits.

rafine Posted March 14, 2017 Author #520 Posted March 14, 2017 Well, that's it. Granado is finished. I have made up and mounted the swivel guns and the anchors, completing the work. The swivel guns were made up using the kit's brass barrels and PE mounts, as well as brass wire and small beads for the handles. They were painted black and installed with pins in holes previously drilled in the pedestals. The anchors were all made using the kit castings, boxwood strip for the stocks, paper bands on the stocks and rings made from wire. Puddening was added to the rings by wrapping line around the wire. Cat blocks and falls and lashings were generally done as shown in AOTS. Following photos of the final work are a few completion portraits of the model. I will be starting a log for Halifax in the next day or two.
