heksanol Posted August 19, 2016 Author #31 Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks Cathead. Busy at the moment with the back stays, making all the components before starting the rigging. Current Builds: San Juan Spanish Galleon - AL HMS Victory - AL Completed Builds: 18th Century Longboat - Model Shipways
heksanol Posted August 25, 2016 Author #32 Posted August 25, 2016 Was sick, so could only do a few things here and there. I started with the oars. I decided to paint the bottom part white, to coincide with the hull colour. I also painted the anchor.

heksanol Posted August 25, 2016 Author #33 Posted August 25, 2016 Decided while I was busy with the rigging, to male the rope coils for the rope ends.

heksanol Posted August 26, 2016 Author #34 Posted August 26, 2016 I have finished the all of the rigging on the boat Once that was done, I glued the oars in place. I now have to tidy up the model, as well as make a stand for it.

heksanol Posted August 30, 2016 Author #36 Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks Cathead! Started working on the display base for the model. The hole in the big base is for air breathing. The small base will cover the hole, and be raised with wood strips. The big base will be raised with normal risers. The base is going to be stained dark mahogany. I have ordered router bits in order to put in the glass case that will cover the model.

heksanol Posted September 8, 2016 Author #37 Posted September 8, 2016 Bought some 3mm glass panels to be used as a covering case for the model. I glued it together using silicon sealant. However, at this stage I am still busy cleaning all the silicon spillage/residue of the glass case. I am using methylated spirits with steel wool and a paint spatula. Method is working, but it is still taking a lot of elbow grease and time to get rid off the excess silicon. I also cut the small base of the boat in half, to make it more pleasing to the eye. Next, I want to continue cleaning the glass case to make it crystal clear, as well as mark out the grooves that has to be routed, in order to place the glass case in to cover the model. Once the groove is cut to the right size, I can also stain the bases, before gluing.

heksanol Posted September 12, 2016 Author #38 Posted September 12, 2016 Small update. Finished scraping off the silicon off the glass case. Cut the grooves on the big display board for the glass case to fit on. I have stained the wood as can be seen in the picture below. Busy applying varnish to the wood. After the wood is varnished, I will glue the small piece to the big piece. I also want to have a plaque made this week.

heksanol Posted September 22, 2016 Author #39 Posted September 22, 2016 Greetings I have glued my model onto the wood base as seen below. Quite happy with how it came out. Next is to glue the glass case over the model.
