At first some things look a bit daunting, but just step by step it becomes the end result. With a david plane I taper the dowel and with a cordless drill the final step...making it round and smooth.

Norway Posted December 25, 2019 Share #248 Posted December 25, 2019 Everything looks very good mugje.... Have did you serve the rope for the stay that goes from the mouse and round the masts to the loop? Do you need a machine for this or can it be done manually by hand?

Have did you serve the rope for the stay that goes from the mouse and round the masts to the loop? Do you need a machine for this or can it be done manually by hand? I did not serve rope. Only a small part around the mouse. It's not authentic, but I did not have enough knowledge to do it correct like in real practice. But I have learned a lot from other logs and have an idea now what needs to be served. With the next ship I will go further with perfecting the rigging and serve the line. And I would buy a serving machine, like Chuck Passaro's one. That looks much easier and more enjoyable. FrankWouts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugje Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share #253 Posted February 5, 2020 Okay! So I finished the ship I didn't take pictures of the last stage. Was a bit busy and worked for very short bouts on the ship. The end was a bit difficult because I wanted to finish it, so there were sometimes moments that I rushed through the build. That needs some attention for the next time...that I take the time and patience to give everything the attention that is deserves, but that is just a part of the learning curve. I enjoyed this build a lot and learned a ton in the process. Offcourse skills wise with the wood etc, but even more mentally. For me it was difficult to actually finish something that takes this amount of time, so i'm very proud of that. And i'm very proud of the end result! I builded it right out of the box with almost no modifications. The most important thing for me was to actually finish it! And in the future there will be more modification/adventure VTHokiEE, bruce d, FrankWouts and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base plate that I used https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/Occre-Model-Boat-Fittings-19102-Display-Stand-130x265mm-OC19102.html#SID=1691 And the colums are from Amati indeed https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/5690-35-Turned-Brass-Column-35mm-A5690_35.html#SID=1579 I used two of the same dimensions, but filed one slot deeper so the ships keel lays in the correct angle. At first I thought it was a good idea to use 2 different dimensions, so one shorter colum...but that looked horrible haha, because the thickness is also reduced with the smaller height.
