TheDutchShipBuilder Posted July 16, 2013 Share #93 Posted July 16, 2013 Hi ZyXuz I did think of hermione of harry potter the first time I saw/heard the name Hermione la fayette. I love the films!!! I will make a lot of details in my cabin as you mentioned, and because my ship is bigger, I can make put a lot more in the cabin. Yours is really, as i mentioned before, a good example for me. I have already bought some wood for it.

ZyXuz Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #95 Posted July 23, 2013 Finally, after 3 months and a half, my ship is now completed All the yardarms are now on, and also the anchors (which I finished as closing ceremony ) Anyway, I'm still working on the display case. It shouldn't take too long. Anyway, here are the updates! Spritsail and main yards riggings were easier because there are lesser riggings in front, in which I can do the riggings more comfortably. Spritsail LiftMain Yard And some 'forcing' were done to make the yards look parallel The Yards Lifts Running Rigs Also, added more lamps on my ship.. The mizzen riggings are harder to handle because all the backstays are blocking my hands to rig on the pin rail. Mizzen Lifts Running RigsAnd the anchors...AnchorsMessy Forecastle And finally the full view Flag pole is on too, with a lamp attached.StarboardBowPort The whole process has been very fun and enjoyable. Thanks MSW for creating such a good site, to share and learn together. That really benefits me! And thanks to those who helped me on this.. without references and opinions here, I couldn't finished my ship as such satisfying result Thank you and thanks again for dropping by my build log!

I ordered it from a local carpenter.. actually my dad's friend, a church member.. he's quite famous in our area, and provides reasonable price.. the only bad thing is it was too slow.. I've cleaned spider webs off my ship thrice waiting the case to arrive Well, I plan to start it right next month since I'm still single and always free at home Currently planning the color theme of my Unicorn, and some modification to be done. Also, I've started buying better tools.. gonna make myself a DIY lathe and drill press stand to cut cost Can't wait to START!!!

Tyrnac Posted February 6, 2014 Share #116 Posted February 6, 2014 Great looking ketch, ZyXuz! I'm working on the same model myself, and have been for the past five years - I took some serious breaks when my kids were born. Having a look at your build log has really helped me as I build, as the instructions and plans sometimes leave something to be desired. My hull and deck are all planked and I'm working on the deck furniture now. I do have a question for you: what did you use for the handrails on top of the bullwarks? It looks like the lighter basswood, but what size? Thanks! Tony ZyXuz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the lighter basswood, but what size? Thanks! Tony Hi Tyrnac, Thanks for your kind words. I used the materials provided by the kit, should be LIME wood I think. The kit instruction suggests to use separate wood for the handrails: 3mm x 2mm for inner part, and 2mm x 2mm for the outer part or in total 5mm x 2mm. As shown But, if you just use 5mm x 2mm instead, it will cause the bow part impossible to bend..

Tyrnac Posted February 19, 2014 Share #118 Posted February 19, 2014 Gotcha! I think some of my slow progress in my build can be attributed to my desire not to mess things up. Then, I stop caring, take a decision, and make huge progress. I started planking the inners with the 2x3mm lime the other day, and got everything except for the forecastle finished. I still have to saw out the holes for the catheads before I plank that. Did you just bend the wood (plank bender? cut and bend? clamp and glue?) or did you cut out several pieces to make the curve run smoother?
