BenD Posted April 28, 2017 Author #31 Posted April 28, 2017 Lanyards I've followed the instructions for this and It's not really shown how they should be tied off. I just guessed when tying the lanyard for the main stay. I think I'll have to look at some other builds to get my bearings. Here she is in the natural light on top of my kitchen table that's in the middle of getting some new stain. I should take more outdoor photos because the difference is amazing!

tkay11 Posted May 1, 2017 #32 Posted May 1, 2017 Tying the lanyards is well explained on the plans, but it will help to look at the other logs. The hull looks very nicely finished.

Sjors Posted July 20, 2017 #35 Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Duncbe, When i see the first planking i thougt , o dear.....i hope it turns out well. When i take a look at the next pictures of the finished hull i have to say....great job! And then the rigging...it looks if you have done it before. The ratlines are that straight it almost looks unreal. You can be proud of what you have done.

BenD Posted July 20, 2017 Author #36 Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks Sjors! Yeah that planking was and still is kind of a disaster but at least I learned a lot from it. The Satin Varnish helps distort the errors. The rigging looks the way it does because I have ripped up most of it at least once. The ratlines must have been a month or so of fussing. The rigging line supplied with the kit isn't the greatest either. Steve 12345 1 Ropes of Scale.com - Rope and cable for the scale modeler.

Sjors Posted July 22, 2017 #37 Posted July 22, 2017 Hi Duncbe, Planking looks good even or without the varnish😀👍 About the rope... I know that the kit suppliers don't send there best rope. I have change it and will change it with all my builds. I ordered my rope at morope or you can order it by Chuck ( Syren Compagny) It will be a big improvement (translations is saying that that a good word is 🙃) Sjors Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

BenD Posted July 28, 2017 Author #39 Posted July 28, 2017 Rigging complete Now she's almost done, only need some rope coils and to attach the swivel guns. Some touch ups are needed like gluing down some of the fuzziness on the rigging with 50/50 Pva and doing a final dusting before being put in a display case. Rope coils I've been making lots of rope coils and not liking them. The one that I did manage to make and like is on the belaying rack right now. It's a bit small so I'll keep at it until a satisfactory result comes along. Jonny 007, tkay11, modlerbob and 3 others 6 Ropes of Scale.com - Rope and cable for the scale modeler.

BenD Posted August 2, 2017 Author #41 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Finished ! The final moments on the desk. That's it she's done! Display Case I decided to buy a case instead of making one, mainly because what I was planing to make was going to be around the same price. This case is really nice, definitely worth the price of $250 CAD. It is from a company called AcrylicJob, they do custom cases of almost any size with plexiglass of several thicknesses. This one is 23L x 10W x 20H. I decided to display her in the bedroom since there was nothing on top of the dresser and my Union Jack needed some support. I'm not a very good Canadian it seems.

GrantGoodale Posted August 2, 2017 #42 Posted August 2, 2017 Did AcrylicJob also provide the base? I am working on one for my Royal Caroline and it will have to be 36" x 27" x 12" - rather large.
BenD Posted August 2, 2017 Author #43 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Hey GrantGooddale the base came with it, It is solid and really nice.
