It really looks, uhm, real. Good question actually as it did take some effort. Each loop is individually glued down with white glue and then a weight was put on until dry. I repeated with each subsequent layer. Wouldn't stay put otherwise and gave much better control of the lay. Thanks to everyone else as well, and the "likes".

Beef Wellington Posted February 16, 2021 Share #122 Posted February 16, 2021 Love the "look" of her Joe, those shots really highlight not only your focus on the detail but also the way you've tied everything in together and achieved a very realistic scale look. Definitely something to aspire to. jwvolz and Retired guy 2 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

JeffK Posted February 17, 2021 Share #123 Posted February 17, 2021 I love what you have done with this model. When I first looked at it, I took it as something I could aspire toward, but probably would not be able to reach. Having worked on my schooner for a year now (very slowly) I know that the “aspire” ain’t ever going to happen! Your level of detail and quality is really good!

jwvolz Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share #127 Posted September 12, 2021 Well, bit of a long overdue update. I've been super busy at work, spending time outside over the summer, then I had Covid. So even though I've worked on the model a fair amount I haven't posted anything in quite awhile. Here we go. I've completed nearly all of the rigging on the Latham. One thing I wanted to touch on first was the baggywrinkle. I puzzled long and hard over how to make this neatly and in scale. I am a fly fisherman/fly tier and it eventually hit me to use peacock herl, which is used for certain fly bodies. I used my serving machine to wrap it around the rigging line, and then subsequently painted with tan paint. Really happy with the way it came out. I'll have more updates over the coming days.

jwvolz Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share #130 Posted September 14, 2021 More update photos as promised. These show the gaff rigging and some of the topmast rigging. As mentioned earlier, these are Bluejacket blocks and Syren line. BETAQDAVE, bhermann, egkb and 14 others 16 1 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W.

Retired guy Posted January 29, 2022 Share #133 Posted January 29, 2022 Brilliant rigging Joe do like your baggywrinkle do have a few to make for the Bluenose, do you have a drawing how you made them. Did you use the rope from the kit or did you buy or did you make your own.

For the baggywrinkle I simply placed the appropriate length of rope in my serving machine, and then attached the piece of the peacock hearl with fine thread. I then wrapped it around the rope for the distance necessary and seized it off on that end again with fine thread. Final step was to paint with diluted tan acrylic paint. It's actually incredibly simple. Landlubber Mike and BobG 2 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W.
