thomashd Posted June 24, 2020 #1 Posted June 24, 2020 (Sorry for the mix up, I put it in the wrong category by mistake!) As the lockdown continues here in the UK, I have been steadily working on my Jalouse. Just finished the Ballahoo a few weeks back. Here are some pictures of both. I do hope this log can help future builders of the Jalouse as there seems to be no logs at all on this beautiful ship.

thomashd Posted June 29, 2020 Author #5 Posted June 29, 2020 A few pictures of the progress made in the last few days. For the first time in my life, I have to admit myself rather disappointed by the quality of wood Caldercraft provided. The stuff for the deck was really poorly cut, with the width of it being anywhere from 2mm to 4mm. The model is still looking nice though! Jonny 007, gieb8688, BenD and 4 others 7 Quote
jwvolz Posted June 29, 2020 #6 Posted June 29, 2020 Nice work so far. I'll be interested to watch this develop, since as you said there are no other build logs of her on MSW.

thomashd Posted June 29, 2020 Author #7 Posted June 29, 2020 I am really confused as to why no one ever did a log on this ship. Beautiful lines and perfect for a second/third model. ccoyle 1 Quote
Oboship Posted June 29, 2020 #8 Posted June 29, 2020 Hi Tom, I am under the same impression. Jalouse is a beautiful ship and really worth building. The hull of your model looks very good and I am curious on your progressing. I was also looking for a build log and finally arrived at this friendly forum (signed up only last Friday). Similar to you, I built the Ballahoo and bought the Jalouse thereafter. I started with the kit last year late in September and I am currently working on the deck fittings. I will probably start a build log shortly, however I began taking pictures only after first and second plankings were completed. I guess it will be very nice and interesting to compare our kits and exchange hints (no competition intended). Take care! Uwe ccoyle 1 Quote

Beautiful lines and perfect for a second/third model. There are several models in the Caldercraft lineup that don't seem to have caught on as well as others, for whatever reason. Jalouse, Cruizer, Snake, and Mars are all wonderful single-gun-deck subjects, but we hardly see them in the forum. Lots of build logs for Sherbourne and Victory, their bottom and top end kits, which makes sense. The Amati Fly and Pegasus kits were huge hits and probably stole the thunder from some of the earlier Caldercraft intermediate-level entries. At least that's how it went for me -- I was all onboard with going for Snake as a fourth POB build until Fly became available. Someday I may even finish it!

BenD Posted July 1, 2020 #13 Posted July 1, 2020 looking good mate! Remember to clean the copper plates after every session if you have sweaty hands. I learned the hard way...

thomashd Posted July 2, 2020 Author #15 Posted July 2, 2020 Thank you all for the encouragements! Coppering is definitely not my strong suit nor my favourite part of the build but still going steadily. BenD, ccoyle, Oboship and 4 others 7 Quote

Ronald-V Posted July 3, 2020 #21 Posted July 3, 2020 If the coppering gets older with a nice patina, the effect is really nice I can assure you! But also a matter of taste offcourse Quote Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models

I finished the coppering which is now looking nice and green. The patina is really growing on me. Started the deck fittings, my favourite part of the model.

The gun tackles are a bit problematic, I cannot seem to find the right tension and then there is the serious issue of making a proper rope coil at the end. Quote

That would be a nightmare! What I do is tack the tackle to the deck with a spot of CA and then trim the excess line. Make the rope coil off the model and then glue it down to the deck, being sure to cover the tacked end from the previous step. Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
