Shazmira Posted June 17, 2014 Share #301 Posted June 17, 2014 A bit more progress I see, as for taking it as it comes, I fully understand. I haven't made sawdust now for 6 weeks...just too darn much other stuff to do, and not enough hours in a day. I will get back to her when I can, so no rush for anyone DCIronfist 1 Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!

DCIronfist Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share #303 Posted June 21, 2014 I got the grate together and used some of my wife's craft glue that is repositionable but since I have worked 4 out of last 5 days that's as far as I am. I do not know if it will hold long enough but I only need it to stay together until I glue it to the deck Will post more progress when it happens :) Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIronfist Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share #304 Posted July 7, 2014 Got a few more pieces for the deck put together....ladders ,the grate for under the boat, the housing on the rear deck took me quite some time to get right. So I may post pics tomorrow or it may wait 3 days lol. Next I am going to work on the supports for the rowboat Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIronfist Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share #305 Posted July 10, 2014 Ok here's some pics of the progress .... Ladders The grate for under the rowboat took me quite a bit of time....but here it is Here's the finished rear deck housing So this is the system I used to measure multiple pieces of the same size.. So with that system I made the boat supports which took longer than what most ppl will ever know lol The pin racks And lastly the rowboat(not glued in yet) the knight head and the falcon gun supports Thanks for looking :) themadchemist, Sjors, Shazmira and 1 other 4 Quote David First Build: Corsair Brigantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCIronfist Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share #315 Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks for all the compliments :) I got the gunports and scuppers glued ( I gotta say my wife's quick stick helped a lot that I "borrowed" from her scrapbook stuff ) hope to get more bits glued in soon.

teloo Posted August 22, 2014 Share #319 Posted August 22, 2014 very nice work.

teloo Posted August 22, 2014 Share #320 Posted August 22, 2014 DCIronfist, i would just like to let you know that when you come to the mainmast that there is a mistake in the instruction manual in my opinion. you should take part 171 instead of 199 for the mainmast. in my construction it was the only solution. otherwise it does not fit. stil a bit work to do until you will start with it, but you should have a look into it. regards ludger DCIronfist 1 Quote best regards Ludger current build: occre corsair http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7793-corsair-by-teloo-occre-scale-180-first-build/?p=231036 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCIronfist Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share #322 Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks for the tip teloo I will look into that when I get to that part. Are you starting a build log?
