yancovitch Posted December 9, 2016 Author #61 Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) oh well, i thought i'd add a little update....confed still on hold ...can't seem to stop here...... ..many parts still not glued in place......used a nikon 105macro with fill flash for what it's worth ....threw in the first shot, my wife took, just cause i thought it was amusing...... still gonna be a lot of micro sanding and painting when everything's in place......i kinda enjoy that.....found these little gold plated rings at the dollar store....purchased 5 packs....opened them up and straightened them, then bent them sideways to fit around the door frames...gives more dimension....using them for other decorations too....and still more to come, if i can figure out what to do .........oh....yes...we have a wood stove....-25 celcius here......

EJ_L Posted December 10, 2016 #65 Posted December 10, 2016 Great pictures!! Love seeing you next to her as we can now really see how truly large you are building her. Well done indeed! You are making a gorgeous ship and I really enjoy seeing another Couronne being built along with mine. Seeing the different ways we have taken the builds has been very fascinating and educational. Looking forward to more! mtaylor and cog 2 Quote "A Smooth Sea NEVER made a Skilled Sailor" - John George Hermanson -E.J.

ca.shipwright Posted December 16, 2016 #71 Posted December 16, 2016 Among all the other fantastic work on you ship. I find the door details to be just remarkable. The ship is a real pleasure to look at. It also shows what building in large scale can do for detailing. Regards mtaylor, Omega1234 and EJ_L 3 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

yancovitch Posted December 16, 2016 Author #72 Posted December 16, 2016 thanks ca......and now that i look at it, i feel i should have made the planking on the walls behind the doors more visible....the walls are planked but sanded smooth.....and i painted them cause the wood was too grainy looking....maybe next time haha.............. mtaylor, Omega1234, EJ_L and 1 other 4 Quote
yancovitch Posted December 21, 2016 Author #73 Posted December 21, 2016 ok....the last shots for awhile.....have to get back to the confederacy rigging....will just finish the railings then off to those drat lines.............cheers, and seasons greetings......... mmdd, JerryTodd, chris watton and 11 others 14 Quote
EJ_L Posted December 21, 2016 #74 Posted December 21, 2016 She sure looks good. Nice place to stop and switch to the Confed. Run some lines and then switch back later. Those breaks in between seem to help me a lot when working on my builds.

yancovitch Posted January 5, 2017 Author #78 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) aaaah....just realizing.....rigging....what a problem i have trying to find rigging plans...bought the plans for musees de la marine, and they were useless unless i read italian....and the luci's couronne plans, weren't helpful as the numbers on the lines didn't match the belaying points on the deck plan.....may have to purchase some plans for the mantua kit, as mine is closer to that.....the corel plans are available online, but the resolutions is so poor, it's hard to read..... ...i dunno....haven't the patience to do alot of research in books etc. as it's a close enough for jazz effort, as this ship i'm doing is a bit of a fantasy ship to begin with...........great advantage of doing a kit, for sure in this regard, although some kit plans leave a lot to be desired, and one has to do research anyways......which, it seems may be what i may end up having to do...though i do have a few books...yuk....i'm just not a reader, just a full time doer Edited January 5, 2017 by yancovitch mtaylor and Omega1234 2 Quote
EJ_L Posted January 5, 2017 #79 Posted January 5, 2017 I have had a lot of similar trouble with finding the tie off points on the belaying pins too. When I get home tonight I will look through my papers and see if I have anything that will help you out. I have not done much yet in terms of the pins as I have not got to running rigging yet as I'm still working my stays and shrouds. I know a lot of my decisions have been educated guessing though based off of the plans I have and Anderson's books on 17th century rigging. If I can find some good layouts I will scan them and send them your way. Omega1234 and mtaylor 2 Quote "A Smooth Sea NEVER made a Skilled Sailor" - John George Hermanson -E.J.

EJ_L Posted January 6, 2017 #81 Posted January 6, 2017 Good news! I may have some drawings that could help. They are too big for my home scanner though so I will take them into work in the morning and scan them there. They are from Corel plan sheets and are clear enough to read the numbers. How accurate they are, who knows but, I will be using them for mine so we can both be wrong together!
