firdajan Posted September 30, 2013 Author #33 Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks my friends for your replies I´m still slowly progressing. Some small parts are added ( pin rails, doors etc ), glued capstans, channels and knees. The deck equipment should be finished. Now I can to start with armament and gunport lids.

firdajan Posted October 14, 2013 Author #35 Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks Ray I had some problems with my computer, but I´ve been still continuing - all of cannons are made, and almost all of them are placed except of upper decks. I didn´t use parts from the kit, because I wanted to produce solid cannons from paper - so I produced them by rolling from the soft paper - aroud the piece of wire of suitable diameter ( my wife is using this type for baking ) I used this way on all of my ships. I also have prepared gunport lids ( today I´ll glue them on te ship ). Some of another small parts are placed too. The hull is almost completed ( except the balcony roofing - I´m still deciding, if to do it, or not ). At the end of the week I will start with masts.

ianmajor Posted October 14, 2013 #36 Posted October 14, 2013 Jan, Those cannon barrels are impressive. At first glance they look as though they have been turned from brass. It takes a lot of skill to make barrels that regular out of rolled paper. Quote Ian M. Current build: HMS Unicorn (1748) - Corel Kit Advice from my Grandfather to me.

firdajan Posted October 16, 2013 Author #37 Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks Ian, several years ago, when I started wid shipbuilding again, I searched for solution, how to buid a solid cannons from paper ( I didn´t start with kit, but I started as a scratchbuilder ). I think I found it, it works perfectly Here are some photos of the ship with gunport lids Momentary I´m a " masts producer " Jan ianmajor, GrandpaPhil, DSiemens and 3 others 6 Quote Finished: Ark Royal 1588 Mary Rose 1545 Arabian Dhow Revenge 1577 ( first attempt ) La Couronne 1636 Trinidad 1519 Revenge 1577 ( the second one ) Nina 1492 Pinta 1492 Santa Maria 1492 San Salvador 1543 Anna Maria 1694 Sao Gabriel 1497 On the table: Sovereign of the Seas 1636 - continuing after 12 years All of them are paper models

firdajan Posted October 29, 2013 Author #40 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Thank you, my friends, for your replies All parts of masts are made and bottom parts of them are placed into the ship ( I made the from maple bars using simply hand drilling machine and abrasive paper ). Tops and all small parts ( including deadeyes and blocks - I have remained a lot of them from my previous build ) are made too. Now the progress will continue quite quickly. It´s just the same routine as on any other ship model Jan Edited November 12, 2013 by firdajan ianmajor, janos, NAZGÛL and 3 others 6 Quote Finished: Ark Royal 1588 Mary Rose 1545 Arabian Dhow Revenge 1577 ( first attempt ) La Couronne 1636 Trinidad 1519 Revenge 1577 ( the second one ) Nina 1492 Pinta 1492 Santa Maria 1492 San Salvador 1543 Anna Maria 1694 Sao Gabriel 1497 On the table: Sovereign of the Seas 1636 - continuing after 12 years All of them are paper models

USS RICK Posted November 11, 2013 #46 Posted November 11, 2013 My ole friend Jan, I see you still working your majic w/card.........and I believe this is the 1st time I have seen you work w/a kit and not scratch. I look forward too more. @ this time I have a Shipyard laser cut kit of the Santa Maria 1492.........and after reading thru this thread, might have to make that my 1st build thread here.

firdajan Posted November 12, 2013 Author #47 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Thank you to all, my friends, for your replies Scott: if you´re enjoying te build, it´still a lot of fun Rick: yes, this is a first time, when I´m building a ship from the kit ( and that´s the reason why I´m building it so quickly ) Next ship will be again a pure scratch ( probably...but who knows..). And, enjoy your Santa Maria I´m very lazy to take photos these days, but I made a little progress with standing rigging, especially with my lovely deadeyes ( you know...). The first row is almost finishhed. Next kilometers of rigging will follow...
