donrobinson Posted August 28, 2018 Author #211 Posted August 28, 2018 Hubac; Thanks for stopping in and for the gracious comment Ian: I never really left the shipyard, I put the Stefano aside to build the Liburnian Novilara but it is done now so Stefano is back in the shipyard again.

donrobinson Posted September 25, 2018 Author #214 Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks to all for stopping in. the likes and comments all are much appreciated. While not a lot got done this past while there is a little to report; Drilling out pin rails, actually just slightly enlarging the existing holes using sensitive drilling attachment on Sherline mill Pin rails installed Starting to strop the deadeyes Drilling holes for deadeyes, all measurements taken from plans Cutting chain plates from photo etch sheet Although I cleaned and prepped the chain plates for blackening in the end i went for painting instead. They were first primed with metal primer then painted with acrylic paint, there are no severe bends on these so paint cracking should not be an issue. The black ring is for the rudder opening on the bottom of the transom. Rudder hole is up next so I thought making the rudder would be a good idea The completed rudder And how he looks now. Belaying pins are installed just for the picture they are not glued in place. Thanks for stopping in.

gsdpic Posted September 25, 2018 #219 Posted September 25, 2018 Very neat and tidy work. Interesting arrangement with the deadeyes inboard of the bullwarks. I have not seen that before but I am far from any kind of expert. The build logs (like yours) of these Maristella kits have me very interested in possibly trying one myself for my next project.

Jim Rogers Posted September 25, 2018 #221 Posted September 25, 2018 Great build Don. Do you recommend the Senstive Drilling Attachment and why? I have been thinking about purchasing one.

Seventynet Posted September 25, 2018 #222 Posted September 25, 2018 Jim, Don recommended the sensitive drilling attachment to me when I bought my mill. I can say without reservation it is one of the most appreciated tools of my mill.

donrobinson Posted September 25, 2018 Author #223 Posted September 25, 2018 Oc: Thanks for stopping in Dave: Thanks Dave Frank; So good to hear from you Frank, Thanks so much David: Thanks David, it is about the same size as your Titanic which you will have loads of fun with Gary: Thanks Gary, they really are fine kits that are very well thought out. I highly recommend them Ian: Thanks, there is a Massive amount of rigging coming, but not until after the massive amount of copper plates that is coming sooner!!! Jim: Thanks. The sensitive drilling attachment is, in my mind, a must. It helps things go along so much faster and easier when using smaller bits. It would be a toss up as to whether I would buy the DRO or the sensitive drilling attachment first. I would say if you are serious enough to have a Sherline mill a/o lathe you should really have both. Christmas is coming, spoil yourself!! riverboat and EJ_L 2 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
