tlevine Posted June 11, 2013 #213 Posted June 11, 2013 Gorgeous work as always, Remco. Are you planning on planking the lower deck? I did and then discovered I could not remove the riding bitt pin. I had to remove the deck planking and reshape the lower part of the pin to allow it to be reinserted later. Danny mentioned that encountered the same problem.

Remcohe Posted June 12, 2013 Author #215 Posted June 12, 2013 Thank you for the compliments and the importand tip. I'm going to plank the lowerdeck but just a few bands, I'll make sure the bitt pin stays clear. Allthough I build the complete assembly now, getting it installed at a much later point will keep it from harms way while doing the rest of the decks. I'll post some pictures of the complete riding bitt this weekend.

urb Posted June 12, 2013 #217 Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Remco I'm in the process of converting your .pdf's into .doc (Word 2003) with OmniPage. I hope this is what you wish. I don't know how I'll get them to your site or to you? Someone will advise when I'm finished I'm sure. If you would rather I stopped converting please inform me. I was about to start my first project of 'King of the Mississippi' (a 20 year old kit), but every time I look on this site and see the fantastic stuff being built by professionals (surely) rather then being spurned on to start I find I’m looking for reasons not to. Must break into the packs and once one is opened I’ll be of I'm sure. Kind Regards Urb Quote

Remcohe Posted June 13, 2013 Author #219 Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks guys. Urb, I've send you a pm. Here's the whole assembly with the crosspiece and I decided to make the short version of the cleat (this is the piece that supports the upped deck beam) Still need to add some ironwork, not sure if I'll add the hook on the inside or the outside.

druxey Posted June 13, 2013 #220 Posted June 13, 2013 At least one contemporary model I've seen (14 gun sloop, Rogers' Collection) shows the hooks and eyes on the inner sides of the pins.

Remcohe Posted August 3, 2013 Author #227 Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks Nils, Greg. Oktay, I use Castello Boxwood, aka lemonwood for 95% of the build the rest is Swiss pear and Holy. Sam, I take that as a big compliment. Jan is right, I'm a perfectionist looking for the limits of what can be done with the materials I use. This sometimes results in redoing parts most of us would find just perfect (and they are right). For the moment no updates, life is getting in the way and the time I do get to spend in the workshop is devoted to a plastic kit I bought recently and some figure sculpting and painting.

Remcohe Posted September 28, 2013 Author #239 Posted September 28, 2013 I got fed up with the plastic kit and it served it's purpose, I back working on my KF. Shaping the parts at the bow is a little tricky but fun especially with the scarph joints and the mast partner that has it's carlings cut from the onder side of the beam. Partially fixed partially test fitted here's the progress to date. Having the fore mast finished already helps to align all parts. Nils, thank you. Indeed the frame work is close to the real thing but not completely. I did not make the chokes as separate parts but they are part of the frame timbers.
