Elijah Posted August 7, 2017 Share #63 Posted August 7, 2017 Looking great! I find it interesting that the bowsprit sits to the side rather than center. I wonder where that concept came from.

Seventynet Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share #64 Posted August 7, 2017 Thanks Elijah. I wish I could answer your question but I can't. i can say however that it is not all that unusual. I wonder if it would present some asymmetric helm effect. Hey your gunboat is looking sweet.

MarisStella.hr Posted August 8, 2017 Share #66 Posted August 8, 2017 Hello Elijah... this is a good question ... At the Brazzera, Trabaccolo and Pelig (old type) the bowsprit sits to the right side, not to the center... This is the tradition and it gets out of the need to maneuver in small harbors... There were many of this ships at the same time. The bowsprit removes very easily an gives much more space to maneuver the ships within the narrow place... Those ships were piled up side by side , 5-10 of them and this was not possible with the bowsprits on, so the bowsprit was removed at that time ... The cap (figurehead) is in the middle, so the bowsprit is at the right... I guess those were the reasons why this is like this ... The other very important reason is a long tradition … Regards, Zoran mtaylor, Heronguy, Elijah and 1 other 4 Quote News and Info from MarisStella Ship Model Kits : http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/11779-news-and-info-from-marisstella-ship-model-kits/?p=353804 build completed "TRAJTA-fishing and cargo boat from Korčula, Croatia": http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/6931-trajta-fishing-and-cargo-boat-from-korčula-croatia-by-marisstellahr/ build in progress "Barque Stefano 1875.": http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/6112-barque-stefano-by-marisstellahr/?p=177179 Gallery-- "Ragusian Carrack XVI ct.": http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/696-ragusian-carrack-by-marisstellahr/ Gallery-- "Ragusian Cog XVI ct.": http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/695-marisstellahr-ragusian-cog-xvi-c/ Gallery-- "PELIG ": http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/gallery/album/1072-pelig-by-marisstellahr/ www.marisstella.hr/eng Croatia, Europe www.modellers-workshop.com Montreal, Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seventynet Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share #67 Posted August 28, 2017 Good Day, I guess this will be my second to last post for the Brazzera. Almost done. I thought I'd try out some natural daylight shots for a change. Only small tidy up things to complete: cleat and arrange all lines, add oar locks and oars, cathead block system and a stand.

Ian Cool - I had never heard of Angelique before (thanks to Wikipedia I am now an expert ) Sounds like it will be pretty difficult to work with (hardness) but it would be awfully appropriate to include in a BNII build. I hope you'll doit!! How large a piece do you think you'd get? Will you mill it yourself?

Seventynet Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share #77 Posted August 31, 2017 Doug, The piece, if it is still available to me, is about 4 feet long and about 3*3 inches. I think it would be enough. I've never worked with it but the one thing that struck me immediately was how resinous it appeared. That may be more of a challenge than the hardness. You need to tell me what kit I should buy?

Heronguy Posted August 31, 2017 Share #78 Posted August 31, 2017 That is a lot of wood - your can do a lot with that! I wouldn't presume to tell you which kit! There don't seem to be many kit versions. I've only seen the Artesania Latina Bluenose II (and that was an old version of the their offering) and a 1:100 scale kit from Billings. The AL kit was fine. The BB kit isn't for a serious build in my opinion (it was a fine starter boat for me). Then of course there are the Bluenose kits but if your wood is from the II refit then that's likely where yo'll want it to end up? Are you considering a scratch build?

Seventynet Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share #79 Posted August 31, 2017 That gives me a good place to start Doug. I am not thinking of a scratch build at this stage, but who knows, I'm really just dreaming. I need to finish other things in the dock first.

donrobinson Posted September 6, 2017 Share #80 Posted September 6, 2017 I just found your update Ian and it is very impressing. I see you decided not to go with sails, I like the looks of it and may now have to re-think my plans of installing sails. I was hoping to have mine finished by end of August but now end of Sept is the next target. The rigging looks great. I knew you were going to pass me!!

Seventynet Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share #83 Posted September 6, 2017 Hi Don, The only reason I will pass you is that I have much less rigging with only one mast and I am not putting the sails on. Just a word on that though. The pre-stitched sails that come with the kit appear to be first rate and if I had the time I would put them on in the furled position. But I will be out of the shipyard for quite a while starting on Saturday and I don't feel right about making my daughter wait for this boat any longer. At least that's my best excuse.

Seventynet Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share #87 Posted September 6, 2017 Sorry Rony, I can't answer your question. I like the poly because it is tough and protects the wood well.

Seventynet Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share #90 Posted September 7, 2017 I bought the kit directly from Maris Stella in Croatia. They are an advertising sponsor of this site. The link appears to be broken but you can easily do a search. I think I should mention that it is definitely not a kit for beginners...just in case.
