drobinson02199 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share #33 Posted March 27, 2020 Back to work on the Bruma after a couple of weeks in Florida. Finished the cabin exterior details including handrails, vents, horn and light, and fire extinguishers and life rings. Tricky paint work on the extinguishers.

drobinson02199 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share #34 Posted March 31, 2020 All of the deck detail is now complete. Pictures show bow area with capstan, life preserver containers, small tables, hatch covers, ladder, boarding walkway and stern seat. That's it for the hull -- now on to the masts and rigging.

drobinson02199 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share #35 Posted April 5, 2020 Masts, booms and bowsprit are shaped and mounted, and I'm now starting on the rigging. One of the detail drawings indicates that brass winches were supplied, but I can't find them anywhere, so I made them from my spare parts stock using deadeyes, filled with wood filler and painted gold, some brass parts that I think were supposed to be deck buckets, and wire.

drobinson02199 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share #38 Posted April 9, 2020 The Bruma is complete. I've posted a set of completion photos in the kit-built ship gallery. This was a relatively easy kit, which was my intention after building the Cutty Sark and laying all of those copper plates! A few comments on the kit: A number of missing small parts, none of them fatal. I was able to go to my spare wood/parts store and improvise. There is one rigging diagram, and while the rigging isn't complex, the diagram is very hard to read. You need to pull all the photos you can find from the internet and use them as a reference to be sure what goes where.

rshousha Posted April 9, 2020 Share #42 Posted April 9, 2020 Great model and a wonderful subject. Does the manufacturer say what they used for a prototype? She looks a bit like a Hans Christian design but not quite. She's the kind of boat that would be perfect to kick around in the Arctic. drobinson02199 1 Quote Rick Shousha Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian barber Posted February 1, 2021 Share #46 Posted February 1, 2021 Hi David and greetings from the UK. I have just bought a Bruma kit and found your build blog on line. I must say that there is more info in your photos than in the written kit instructions! I was wondering if you built up the area aft of rib 11 so that you had a good base to glue the planking to, and similarly forward of rib 1. It seems to me that something needs to be there. Best regards, Brian Barber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drobinson02199 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share #47 Posted February 1, 2021 Hello, Brian. I can't recall - but I would only have done so if they supplied balsa and called for it in the instructions. I use a steamer to take tension off the planks for bends like the ones you are referring to. Good luck - it's a nice little kit.

brian barber Posted February 1, 2021 Share #48 Posted February 1, 2021 Thanks David, I'll see how I get on and let you know how it goes. The steamer seems to be a very good option. Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
