S.Coleman Posted July 14, 2020 Author #94 Posted July 14, 2020 The kit supplied rope is very nice to use, Don't need lots of wax to beat the fluffies down. But nowhere near as good as chucks. It will be suffice for my needs.

S.Coleman Posted July 17, 2020 Author #95 Posted July 17, 2020 Made a start on the foremast. At the stage I have to add the side boards and bend the front.

homer Posted October 2, 2020 #99 Posted October 2, 2020 Hi Scott, your build is looking very nice indeed. I just started my AL Endeavour which came in the same box you have. So, it too is about 30 years old or so. The wood seems to be in fair shape. I keep going up and back if I should do a build log. I want to contribute but most of the members are so much better than me, I don't know if they would get anything out of it (accept a good laugh!). It's been so long for me that I would have to go back and review how to add a build log. Oh, I ordered the AOTS Marquarts Endeavour book and also the book written in depth by Ray Parkin. It will be at least another week before I get the first one and probably closer to three weeks on the Parkin book. I think it's being shipped to me from near your area. Anyway, again - very nice job. It's looking great. When I finish mine I will give it to one of my sons that I haven't yet made a ship for. It will be months and months before I get to where you're at today. Thank you for doing such a nice job Scott. Ron S.Coleman 1 Quote Current Build: Charles W.

S.Coleman Posted October 8, 2020 Author #100 Posted October 8, 2020 Homer thank you very much. Even with my build I find it hard to put up posts that are interesting. Like for example, The masts and rigging stage im doing at the moment is not the most interesting aspect. But also trying to keep viewers entertained. Hardest part of a build log. I hope you enjoy your build. Its a very nice hull to work.

djb633 Posted December 21, 2020 #103 Posted December 21, 2020 Hi Scott I got the exact same Endeavor model about 25 years ago from my wife for either xmas or my birthday, never seemed to get a chance to start it. in the mean time i built a 1800 sq. ft. cottage and a two story 1800 sq. ft. garage but this model seems to me a lot harder to figure out. I have never built a boat or any other model for that matter since the little plastic car ones as a kid. I find the instructions ( or lack of instructions ) to be very vague so I went to Duck Duck Go ( hate google) and found your blog. with the help of your photos i might be able to get the woodworking part done but I cant imagine with my shaking hands and waning eyesight of ever getting the rigging completed. I take it this project isn't really for first timers but who knows i might surprise myself. S.Coleman 1 Quote
S.Coleman Posted December 22, 2020 Author #104 Posted December 22, 2020 Here we are still plodding along. This time the shourds have been started and ratlines being done on the foremast port side. oneslim and clearway 2 Quote Regards, Scott Current build: 1:75 Friesland, Mamoli Completed builds: 1:64 Rattlesnake, Mamoli - 1:64 HMS Bounty, Mamoli - 1:54 Adventure, Amati - 1:80 King of the Mississippi, AL 1:64 Blue Shadow, Mamoli - 1:64 Leida Dutch pleasure boat, Corel - 1:60 HMS President Mantra, Sergal Awaiting construction: 1:89 Hermione La Fayette AL - 1:48 Perserverance, Modelers shipyard
S.Coleman Posted December 24, 2020 Author #105 Posted December 24, 2020 My very first attempt at the crowsfeet ended in disaster. So i ripped it down and started again. Im happy with this one so it can stay.

Robertb Posted January 18, 2021 #106 Posted January 18, 2021 Hello I am actually in Perth as well and doing the same kit but a lot more heavily bashed. At the point now where I am putting the Standing rigging on and attaching the sails to the yards Just a quick shot taken just before Christmas of the ship with the mast dry fitted temp.

S.Coleman Posted April 12 Author #107 Posted April 12 Hello everyone!. Yes I'm still around. Sorry I went on a model railroad rampage. I caught the model railroad bug. Also started up a YouTube channel on it. Apart from that not much ship building. So..... today I dusted off the Endeavour and fixed a couple of broken pieces that had been damaged over the years. Also tracked down all my tools etc. Will be starting back up from where I left off. I looked through the instructions to find where I left off and will be back into it shortly!. Great to see some of you oldies still on here from way back!! Looking forward to chatting as we go along.

S.Coleman Posted April 15 Author #108 Posted April 15 Well here we go.! Finished off the shrouds on the main mast. And Finished off the shrouds on the foremast. Started on doing the rat lines on the upper foremast. Coming back to this after about 4 years is bringing back a lot of memories.

S.Coleman Posted April 25 Author #109 Posted April 25 Progress update. Have been working on the main and foremast ratlines and shrouds. Have got to do another crowsfeet set up on the main mast just like the foremast has. I'm happy found motivation again to continue.

Srodbro Posted April 26 #110 Posted April 26 Glad to see you are back. Yeah, looking forward to doing ratlines is about the least motivating step in a build, but once they are done, you are so much closer to doing running rigging, which I think is motivating. Great looking build.
