jerrynast Posted June 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2019 This is my first blog anywhere, ever. I joined NRG only a few weeks ago so the vast majority of the build was done prior to that which is why I am not showing the build from the beginning. So I will feel my way through. If anyone has any suggestions, comments or corrections about this model of the schooner "Atlantic" or this blog I would welcome them. I finished the hull and deck furniture as seen in the photo below. All of the deck furniture, cleats etc. were applied with epoxy. So now I am on to masting & rigging. 😬 oneslim, Kevin, schooner and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etubino Posted June 26, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 26, 2019 Beatifull work Jerry! I´m wondering by the Plans beneath the Hull if this is a solid hull Kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted June 26, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 26, 2019 I assume this is the BlueJacket kit? I've always considered that a very fine-looking model.

MrBlueJacket Posted June 26, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2019 From what I can see of the plans, they look like ours for sure. Jerry, I'm adding you to the list of "10% off your next BlueJacket kit" when you finish. Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrynast Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted June 26, 2019 Your kit. Cross my heart and hope to spit. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrynast Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted June 26, 2019 Thomas, Of course it looks good all the way from Germany since I'm in Austin, TX! You can't see my mistakes that far away. Scale: 1/8 inch = 1 foot Etubino, Solid hull. The plans are under the model just to be a background for the photos. Nothing more mysterious than that.

jerrynast Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted August 18, 2019 8/16/19 Rigged the topping lift short pendants with blocks at either end around the doubled main mast right above the top. 3 altogether, one for each mast. 8/17/19 Started mast rigging for the "runners". 6 long port & starboard pendants total which will attach down to deck rigging. Stopped one single eye off the model then Rove line through hole drilled through tops & mast. Strop block at other end. Almost done 2 complete, fore & main, one block left to attach for mizzen. Figuring out how to make the strops on the 4.3mm-5/32" blocks to appear seized has been a challenge. I have photos of any of this if anyone is interested. In the event no one is then think of the time I saved by not posting them now. GrandpaPhil, IgorSky and jock2000 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lord Posted February 18, 2022 Share #12 Posted February 18, 2022 Hi Jerry, I'd love to see pictures of your build of the Atlantic, and any other info you have on her. I recently started a large model and have the plan from Blue Jacket but could use much more detail. I would appreciate anything I can get. Thank you.
