Lapinas Posted December 20, 2021 Author #62 Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Added shrouds with deadeyes. Could be better.. but to fix bottom deadeye "holders" alignment is a bit too late What I mean for future builders: This is going to bother me forever This is a great page about making shrouds: https://suburbanshipmodeler.com/2017/10/07/shrouds/ I have tried to maintain spaces between deadeyes consistent by using these hand made tools: Edited December 20, 2021 by Lapinas Dave_E, Katsumoto and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote

That will be interesting. Making your own deadeyes can be a real trial (don't ask me how I know), but if your tool works out, it would be worthwhile sharing it with others. By the way, when it comes to attaching the chains that secure the lower end of the deadeyes, be sure to take note of the angles, as in Lapinas's post # 62 above. Also note from the diagrams in that post that real chains are rather different from the ones supplied with the kit. Steven Dave_E 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

LCdr Dave Posted June 2, 2022 #72 Posted June 2, 2022 Lapinas, you are making great progress. The ship is looking fantastic! I have learned quite a bit already just from “watching “ you. Some great links you posted, thanks. Dave Dave_E 1 Quote LCdr Dave Current Build: Mayflower - Billing Boats
Katsumoto Posted June 6, 2022 #73 Posted June 6, 2022 This build brings back memories. 😉 First of all, you have chosen a very good kit of Amati. Second, you build it very very good! Very crisp lines and additions you made yourself. For your first build this is extraordinary! keep up the great work, Pete Dave_E and Knocklouder 2 Quote Regards, Peter Current project - Wappen von Hamburg 1669 heavily bashed Previous project - Xebec Cazador 1750 bashed Previous project - Santa Maria bashed
Lapinas Posted January 31, 2023 Author #74 Posted January 31, 2023 I have finished the sails. I have ordered 4 different batches of bitumen, but when mixed with turpentine it was not giving be a nice color... So after last failure I gave up and went to my local grocery store and bought some black tea 😄 When I was joining the main sail top and bottom parts it looks like the thread got too tight and most likely I am going to redo it.

JerryC Posted January 31, 2023 #75 Posted January 31, 2023 You might try ironing it. You can always re-do it if that fails. Quote
Knocklouder Posted January 31, 2023 #76 Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Lapinas, hello was just thinking, I wonder if you ever finished your sails. So glad you got your sails. All that care and attention to details is going to pay off big time . I like my Santa Maria, but yours is nicer great job, looking forward to the finish line. Will you be building the other two ships,La Nina and the Pinta ??? Edited January 31, 2023 by Knocklouder Typo of course Quote Start so you can Finish !!

Lapinas Posted February 12, 2023 Author #78 Posted February 12, 2023 I have painted sails today with acrylic paint. I am quite happy with the result. I had to paint from both sides of the sail. Not sure if it is accurate, but pain has seeped to the other side after painting it on one side, so I was basically forced to do it this way Knocklouder, Prowler901, Louie da fly and 1 other 3 1 Quote
