The Sailor Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share #67 Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks for stopping by, Nils. Well, Pickle is my first wooden ship after many many years.

The Sailor Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share #69 Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks, Bill. The assembly of the yards, gaffs and the driver boom is done. The next photo shows the dry fitted parts.

ModelBoatMaker Posted August 14, 2013 Share #71 Posted August 14, 2013 Looking good Richard, good idea to paint the masts yellow, wish I did the same on my pickle rather than the walnut stain they reccomend.

The Sailor Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share #72 Posted August 22, 2013 At last the ship's boats have been completed. Believe me, it was a real challenge. First of all the boat's resin hulls should have been sanded. Otherwise you can have big problems when glueing the cartridge paper for the ribs into the hull. My big awareness... But the rest was quite easy. Well, the lauch is very tall and I'll don't fit it until the rigging has been completed.

Beef Wellington Posted August 22, 2013 Share #74 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Richard, your boats look great. Its funny, I had exactly the same experience even after sanding the hull. I've ordered some styrene to do what the paper should because I was also thinking the paper may not have enough body to simulate the frames. You made a very nice job of it however and I'm reconsidering my approach, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the merits either way.

hamilton Posted August 23, 2013 Share #75 Posted August 23, 2013 The ship's boats look amazing - it must have been very tricky using the paper for the ribs! I just finished a ship's boat at 1:100 and used 1/16 x 1/16 lime sanded down after installation to 1/32...this was fiddly enough - I can't imagine using the paper to the same high quality result you've obtained! hamilton The Sailor 1 Quote current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (in need of a refit); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch) under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

The Sailor Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share #76 Posted August 23, 2013 Thank you very much for your kind words Bill, Pete, Ferit, Jason and Hamilton. Jason I think styrene is a good alternative to simulate wooden frames.By the way I didn‘t use the provided paper. I‘ve bought a sheet of black cardboard with a higher paper weight and used it instead.Hamilton I‘m very happy with the result and all the rest is hidden by the colour. So thanks again, guys. hamilton 1 Quote Cheers, Richard. ------------------------------Current build: Mercury, Russian brig, America's Cup Yacht Endeavour (1934), AmatiCompleted build: HM Schooner Pickle, JoTiKaNext: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
