DelF Posted April 2, 2020 #214 Posted April 2, 2020 I have just found your log for the first time after seeing your completed model in the gallery. I wish I had found it sooner! I am very impressed by the beauty and precision of all your work - in particular your rigging and woodworking skills set a very high standard for the rest of us to aim for.

rlb Posted April 2, 2020 #215 Posted April 2, 2020 I too, missed your build log until seeing your gallery photos. Superb job, she looks great! Ron captain_hook 1 Quote Building: US Brig Oneida (1809) HMS Euryalus (1803) Completed: John Alden Sloop
stuglo Posted April 3, 2020 #216 Posted April 3, 2020 I also discovered the log only after seeing the gallery pictures. Reading from the beginning was worthwhile and increases the appreciation of the quality of work. Many helpful tips. How did you make those mast hoops and miniature hinges on the doors? captain_hook 1 Quote current build- Swan ,scratch on shelf,Rattlesnake, Alert semi scratch,Le Coureur,, Fubbs scratch completed: nostrum mare,victory(Corel), san felipe, sovereign of the seas, sicilian cargo boat ,royal yacht caroline, armed pinnace, charles morgan whaler, galilee boat, wappen von hamburg, la reale (Dusek), amerigo vespucci, oneida (semi scratch) diane, great harry-elizabethan galleon (semi scratch), agammemnon, hanna (scratch).19th cent. shipyard diorama (Constructo), picket boat, victory bow section
captain_hook Posted April 3, 2020 Author #217 Posted April 3, 2020 Thank you very much Erik, Derek and Ron for the nice words! @stuglo: The mast hoops are in fact Syren parts made for the Cutter Cheerful but I was fortunate that they also fit the AVS due to equal mast diameter. The hinges are fake hinges, only a short piece of brass (about 1,5 mm) wire blacked and glued to the edge of the doors or soldered to a brass strip (for example on the roof of the companionway). All doors are designed as non-functional, so no need for functional hinges. stuglo 1 Quote Current Build: HM Brig Badger 1/48 from Caldercraft plans Le Coureur 1/48 by CAF — Completed Build: Armed Virginia Sloop 1/48 by Model Shipways / Gallery HM Cutter Sherbourne 1/64 by Caldercraft / Gallery
Arjan Posted April 3, 2020 #218 Posted April 3, 2020 Really outstanding work ! Pity there are no similar period Cutters in 1/25 scale, I would love to build an rc one. Unfortunately, the 1/25 Krick Zollkutter is far too small for a working rc version, besides it doesn't have a (single mast) Cutter type rigging. Gruss, Arjan captain_hook 1 Quote
Kurt Johnson Posted April 3, 2020 #219 Posted April 3, 2020 I don’t know why I never saw your build before, I’m very glad I finally did. That is a very nice piece of craftsmanship! You’ve set a high bar for the rest of us to try and match. Again very nice. Kurt captain_hook 1 Quote Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey

Life seems to take us in unexpected directions sometimes, and I've just been busy and distracted with other things. I've started three shipbuilding projects but none of them have progressed very far and all of them have been untouched for quite a while now. Starting to get the itch to get back in the workshop, but we'll just have to see how it goes! All the projects and the workshop are intact, it's more a matter of time and motivation! Take care. captain_hook 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon! Current build - Medway Longboat Complete - Armed Virginia Sloop Complete - Carmen (First Build)
