that's what it's called........I agree,  nice job making it.   Krabbenkutter...is that the Cux or the Mary Ann?

[zappto]

Very nice detailed work, colors make it shine, very neat planking!

Thank you. I will continue working on Krabbenkutter next week. My daughter is getting antsy so I need to make some progress on the Marie jeanne.

Starting to rig the bowsprit. None of the the lines are attached yet to their respective cleats. I have a few holes and lines to prepare before I am able to do so. 

As I am working on upgrading this build from the standard plan from AL, I need to get more chains. 

Quite a few ropes will be replaced by it. 

[captgino]

The work on the bow sprit continues... 

[popeye the sailor]

look'in really good   

[captgino]

Worked on the rigging the rudder

 

Time to start attaching blocks. I am trying to attach as much as possible now. Per my calculation, I have to do 6 more.

 

 

And the deadeyes. I will have to do a little paint touch-up.

[captgino]

Now that the Krabbenkutter is done. It is time to get back to my Thonier. 

I missed her dearly. 

I have been working on the main Mast. My goal is still to continue adding more details and follow as much as possible the historic plans. 

Here is what I have done and where I am

[captgino]

Little progress from last night 

[captgino]

Continued to work on the main Mast 

[captgino]

Starting to work on the second mast, le tape-cul.

[popeye the sailor]

Mizzen spanked boom work begins. 

Dry fitting... 

[Elijah]

Wow! Very nice JP! I like the color scheme.

[captgino]

Decided to rework the attachment of the Mizzen spanked boom . 

Before

After

It still have to do final clean and blackening. 

Much better in my opinion. 😊

[captgino]

Working on the first boom

 

[captgino]

More progress on the masts, booms,... 

Painting 🎨

Those booms and the mast look very nice JP 

[popeye the sailor]

catching up with your project JP...........mastings look very nice    they will look really good when added to the model!

[captgino]

Back with the Marie-Jeanne. I have missed working on this project. 

Nothing too big. 

Finishing up (painting, staining,...) the different masts and spars

 

Attaching various blocks and belaying pins throughout the desk. This will making it easier for the later part of the build. 

 

Working on the Dead-eyes for the stern of the ship. They were solder to a pin and blackened. 

 

Here they are mounted. 

 

The next small project is the making of 3 small. Pulleys.

 

[captgino]

Pulley construction.

Step by step 

[captgino]

The kit did not come with a water pump. No problem. The detailed plans I purchased had a pump. Only challenge the scale was 1/25 when the ship is 1/50.

The goal was this. 

 

Step by step. 

I have to paint it now. 

Here is the fruit of 5 hours of work... 😊

nice job on the fittings,,,,the pump looks great  

[captgino]

Rigging is starting... 

I glued the masts. Here is an example of one of the pulley. I dry brushed steel color paint. 

 

Shrouds served and added to the ship

[popeye the sailor]

masting looks really good........I still like the color contrast you've chosen for her.

 

[captgino]

Dead eyes attached to all shrouds. 

 

Attached one of the shrouds on the main Mast... 

 

From far. 

[captgino]

Starting to work on the sails.. I decided to use the sails that came with the kit but to 'upgrade' the shape and the roping around. 

Opened the factory stitches, trace the shape from the plan and cut the excess.

 

Glue a rope all around the perimeter. 

 

Final product.

 

 

[captgino]

Stitched up every sails to get them ready to be added to the model. Next step is to prepare the stain for fabric to color some of the sails.
