Wütender Hund by ccoyle - FINISHED - Shipyard - 1/72


Recommended Posts

Could you glue square or rectangular section "stringers" to the inside surfaces of the sterncastle at the bottom, where they meet the rest of the hull? That might take up the slack without being too obvious.

So, what would a shipyard worker of the time have done?

He probably would have just whittled away some wood from the framing until he got his pre-cut panels to more or less fit properly. 😋  Well, at least that's what I did.

'Ello -- nearly three weeks without an update, so here's an update. This project isn't dead -- far from it -- but it got temporarily derailed by a family visit and a higher-priority side project. I did get into the shipyard today to do a little work, but nothing worth a photograph.

 

Cheers!

Ok, but my coffee's getting cold . . . ;)

I have some sort of strange modeler's affliction where I get about 2/3 done or so with a model and am already thinking about the next one -- this partly explains why I have three partially finished models on hand. I have to force myself to finish the current job before I indulge myself with starting another.

Hi Chris,

just found your build log today, don't know how I have missed it, I love this era and you are doing a beautiful job,  As for your strange modelers affliction I have that exact same problem!  If you find a cure for it let me know, I am afraid to count how many unfinished models I have on my shelf.

Very true. I have to force myself to stay focussed on my current build - otherwise I'd be starting all kinds of new ones. I have a list a mile long of models I'd like to make, and it takes a considerable mental effort to keep on the same one and get it finished, particularly when I'm doing something repetitve and boring, but necessary to finish the model.

 

Even now I've got two under way rather than one, but I've at least put one on hold till the other is finished.

The cure is to do the model fast , while the initial spark still last🙂. Human needs to see outcome of his work quite fast, so when it lasts too long and building problems to solve acumulates he jumps to another subject unconsciously thinking it will go fast and easy🙂

I quite agree with that also.  This might be why some builders have multiple projects going on at once.

Just catching up on this, everything looks really nice. Haven't thought much about this kind of ship before, so this is a fun introduction.

Okay, you might have to look hard to see the difference between this photo and the previous photo -- just a few new bits. Next up is building the forecastle. I stained all the parts today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to start it.

You are making me want to get back into the garage and do work on Cardydog.  Oh, wait, it's 100 degrees in the garage.  Maybe next week.

And finally, some real progress to show. Forecastle complete and mounted. Just a few small bits to do before beginning masting and rigging.

Really nice progress Chris.

What glue do you use ? In the instruction manual Shipyard shows a contact glue (Pattex) and I was really surprised to see this. I am thinking to use Titebond woodglue.

If the the weather is so worse as expected, I will start the build of my model today.

Regards Christian

I use both Titebond and medium-cure CA, depending on the task.

This anchor marks the end of Book I of the instructions, hooray! On to Book II -- I started tapering the mast today.

Chris, you've done a lot of beautiful work in just a little over three months. Anxious to see what the next three months bring.

Hopefully completion of this model, building something with wings, and a 10-pt trophy buck.

Chris,

 

congratulations for reaching this milestone. I started yesterday with page one of the instructionbook.

This anchor is looking really modern. Did you some research? If I am back at home I can check if I find something in my books.

Regards Christian
