Barbossa Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share #121 Posted December 13, 2013 Hello, One of the last updates regarding the hull fittings : the two lids under the stern gallery. I used other hinges than the ones supplied in the kit. The form and shape seemed a bit more suitable to me (coming from my old San Felipe Mantua kit - pre MSW-period) PMG, mtaylor, Sjors and 3 others 6 Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbossa Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share #124 Posted December 13, 2013 Thank you for visiting my log Saloir, much appreciated Hi BE, In a way of speaking it is your Pegasus buildlog that is a motivator for me trying to improve myself, and I'm sure many MSW -members share that opinion. And just calling it a buildlog is doing you injustice as to me it is more a tutorial entitled" How do I get the most out of a kit". So I try to follow your fine example.

Barbossa Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share #127 Posted December 14, 2013 Many thanks Mobsie & Sjors for the comments and all the likes during this build, this was all very supportive. I really appreciate. Next move is related to the lifeboats and the study of the masting & rigging. However, at the third page of this log there's a totally "off topic pic" but our new home project will require far more attention the next months to come so updates related to my Diana are to be expected but it just might take a little while. mobbsie and Sjors 2 Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted December 14, 2013 Share #129 Posted December 14, 2013 Hi Christian She is looking great, I see you had the same problem as I did, and had to cut the slots for the gammonings after the grating had been made. I have just returned from holiday a great cruise on the Queen Mary 2, and Christmas is just ahead so my progress will also be slow, I am going to add the dead-eyes and chains next.

Klaas Posted April 2, 2014 Share #130 Posted April 2, 2014 Hoi Christian, I finally found your log and it looks GREAT!!! Hope you can start again in the near future. Is it my fault or is it wright that i can't see all the pictures?

Sjors Posted April 2, 2014 Share #131 Posted April 2, 2014 Klaas, I will answer instead of Christian...... It's correct that at some pictures you see only a question mark. When they change discs there are pictures missing. Not only with Christian but a lot of others has the same. When Christian has still the pictures he can re-post them. I hope you don't mind Christian that I answer Klaas ?

Barbossa Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share #132 Posted April 2, 2014 Hallo Klaas, I'm afraid, you had to dig rather deep to come across my log as it's been a while since my last update. It is a worn out cliché but life is getting a bit in the way as Mrs and Mr Barbossa's bulding project is reaching it's final stage. As a consequence : some painting work, installation of a kitchen and of course a move is laying ahead of us, therefore very little time for shipbuilding and when it occurs...well, for the time being I'm struggling a bit with the lifeboats. It is not really my cup of tea but it's just another of those essential details and this project does not increase the size of the whole ship as it is and I wish to avoid any accident while moving from our old house to our new build. Regarding the pics : lately, I noticed other members experienced the same. The more is : I visited my own log a just few weeks ago and then everything seemed OK. Strange.... However : Congrats with your Aggy : this is really huge and your doing a fantastic job !

Ulises Victoria Posted April 2, 2014 Share #135 Posted April 2, 2014 Hello Barbossa. Nice to see you, and your Diana is an awesome project. It's coming out real clean and nice, although some of the latest photos are missing. I saw a photo at the beginning of your Vasa. If you check my build log, you will see something very familiar. How did you made the flags "wavy"? Mine look very stiff. I have not been able to fully finish my ship because of the flags. That's the only thing left.! Well...flags and the base.

Barbossa Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share #136 Posted April 3, 2014 Hi Ulises, I'll try to resolve the photoproblem this week-end Related to your flags question, well here's the story : I used hairspray. It was very easy to find as my mother was a hairdresser. So I wrapped the flags in the most suited form and sprinkled them. So it's better to procede outside and yes, it was a bit "messy" on my fingers. Anyway my Vasa flags -especially the one on the stern- kept this "windblowing" shape ever since. Hope this helps you Ulises Victoria 1 Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbossa Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share #142 Posted April 30, 2014 Hi Mort, Many thanks. I hope to resume shipbuilding activities as soon as possible, but life is getting a bit in the way, lately. But there's (always) a positive aspect : Soon I'll post in the "general discussion-area" a pic of the room specially dedicated to shipbuilding. : 10 square meters and and not many tools yet, but I'll have to start somewhere.

But I have great expectations for the future. I've made my mind up. In our fututre home, the attic wil suit just fine : plenty of space ; some 20 square meters !!

Barbossa Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share #147 Posted September 18, 2015 Hi All, It's been a while. So here's lifeboat n°1 ( the smallest one - 18ft. cutter ). I went for the clinckerplank-effect, which succeeded-more or less. The strips are styrene-made, due to the annoying behaviour of planks lifting upwards in the bow section, I've found it quite impossible to cut walnut strips following a suitable curve. Aside from the floor elements & thwarts, there's little wood involved. The hull is made out of cast resin and supplied together with interesting parts such as oars, hooks,...in a Caldercraft mini kit. I know : this is cheating, for which I pledge guilty, Your Honour. Another point : the "gratings" are as fake as can be : just paper strips over a black cartridge paper and I preferred external rowlocks rather than cutting & filing the hull But after all, I'm quite satisfied with the end result One done, 3 more to go realworkingsailor, mtaylor, jim_smits and 11 others 14 Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
