S.Coleman Posted May 21, 2020 Author #61 Posted May 21, 2020 Stantchions, bollards and hatch cover coamings going in place. Each handrail stanchion is laser cut and square. To fit into the gunwale the bottom of each peice has to be filed round to fit in the hole. Each bollard is cut from 4×4mm stock and corners have to be filed round. Slowly making my way around the ship. Each stanchion has a taper of 4mm at the bottom and closes up to 2mm at the top. They look uneven but they all measure out correctly.

S.Coleman Posted June 1, 2020 Author #73 Posted June 1, 2020 So started on the windlass. Got it all installed and added the bow belaying racks.

S.Coleman Posted June 2, 2020 Author #74 Posted June 2, 2020 Ok so after looking at another couple of members build logs of the Endeavour it got me thinking how so much different these kits are depending on manufacturer. Huge differences and it looks like I had some extras to put on that are non existent in this kit. For example, The windlass shows no strips for the rope to purchase and is simply a smooth round dowel. No Hull armouring for the anchor flukes and no housing for the tiller. This AL kit it pays to do a lot of research unless a straight out of the box build is what you want. Thankfully I have lots of info here at MSW to help. I seem to be looking here more than the plans! I went back and ripped off the belaying bitts to add some sheves, added strips onto the windlass for rope purchase and also added bolts through the knees of the the windlass to the deck. Added grating to waist deck hatch and finished off steps to the aft deck. Will rip off fore hatch combing as it’s too high and re do. Rather now then later. Hope you like.

S.Coleman Posted June 14, 2020 Author #81 Posted June 14, 2020 Here i have been working on the tiller, boardwalk and tiller housing. Also managed to rig up the ships wheel rigging. Unfortunately some research shows a block and tackle arrangement on the tiller bar and I did not find this out until later. I had already ripped out the original rope as it was too thick. I'll just stick to the AL plans on this one. Scratch built the board walk and tiller housing but still yet to paint it up Fabricated the cat heads and added them on. I know there are some inaccurate details but I'm not too fussed as my skills are limited. I'm happy with it so far. Hope you all like.

S.Coleman Posted June 21, 2020 Author #86 Posted June 21, 2020 The slow and steady progress made on the first set of chainplates. These are made from 0.8mm wire wrapped around the deadeye and then crimped around the attach point on the hull. The deadeyes move freely so I can line them when it comes time to rig the shrouds.

homer Posted June 29, 2020 #87 Posted June 29, 2020 Hi Scott, your built is looking good! I actually just finished a ship that didn't have a build log. I'm now getting ready to start on my HMS Endeavour I purchased years ago. It's a Corel 1:60 kit and has been sitting there with others waiting to be built. However, as I unboxed it and began looking at MSW build logs I see that the Corel design is not very realistic. I like the OCCRE kit but it's costly. I found your exact kit on eBay for a very reasonable price and just bought it. It will probably be a week or so before I receive it. Hope you don't mind if I reference your log (since you will be well ahead of me) during my build. Ya know, the wood in the Corel kit, especially the bulkheads look very nice. Hopefully the wood in the AL kit won't be too bad! I've noted that their keels are sometimes warped. Anyway, I'm pretty excited about building this ship. I'm a fan of Captain Cook and have some authentic prints I purchased in Maui about 35 years ago! Anyway, just wanted to say Hi and I like what you've been doing to your build. Take care.

S.Coleman Posted July 3, 2020 Author #88 Posted July 3, 2020 Hello Ron. Glad to see you dropped in. More than happy for you to reference my log. I don't seem to post photos of my build steps rather than just post photos of the completed section. Which I should. I had no dramas with warped keel or poor fitting bulkheads and my kit is very old. I'm currently making the deadeye chain plates and its taking a while. So I haven't posted for a bit. No one wants to see 10 or photos of chain plates!! Very soon I'll be making a start on the bowsprit. I like the corel kit too but it is costly. I found so many differences between kit manufacturers so I've taken a little bit from here and there and scratch building some parts. Cheers for dropping in.
