wefalck Posted October 14, 2020 #61 Posted October 14, 2020 Looking good. I like the translucent qualitiy, just like the real thing ! Just a question: you put the bolt-rope inside the seams around the sail. Do you have a source for this - somewhat unusual - arrangement ? mtaylor and tkay11 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
Gbmodeler Posted October 15, 2020 Author #62 Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks Wefalck! No source for the bolt rope. It just gives the sail more strength along the edge.... mtaylor 1 Quote COMPLETED: Amistad Schooner, 1839, 1:96 Scale Zephyr Steam Boat, Puget Sound, Late 1800s, 1:96 Scale Chinese Junk (Fictional), 1:96 Scale Light Vessel 114, Fire Island, 1930, 1:93 Scale Bretagne, 1908 French Fishing Sloop, 1:48 Scale Barco Catalan, Late 1800s Spanish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Brazzera, 1908 Italian Boat for Fishing and Cabotage, 1:48 Scale Galway Hooker, Late 1800s Irish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Fifie, 1870 Scottish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Misainier, 1906 French Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale U.S. Mine Sweeping Boat MSB-6, 1952, 1:96 Scale
Gbmodeler Posted October 15, 2020 Author #63 Posted October 15, 2020 Even though I plan to keep the hold open and visible, I thought I better build the hatch covers that might normally be seen. I do not really know what the fishermen did with the hatch when they went out (stowed them or left them on shore), but I decided to stow them under the deck, aft. Hatches built and unpainted... painted and weathered... Stowed away. mtaylor, druxey, wefalck and 4 others 7 Quote COMPLETED: Amistad Schooner, 1839, 1:96 Scale Zephyr Steam Boat, Puget Sound, Late 1800s, 1:96 Scale Chinese Junk (Fictional), 1:96 Scale Light Vessel 114, Fire Island, 1930, 1:93 Scale Bretagne, 1908 French Fishing Sloop, 1:48 Scale Barco Catalan, Late 1800s Spanish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Brazzera, 1908 Italian Boat for Fishing and Cabotage, 1:48 Scale Galway Hooker, Late 1800s Irish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Fifie, 1870 Scottish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Misainier, 1906 French Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale U.S. Mine Sweeping Boat MSB-6, 1952, 1:96 Scale
Gbmodeler Posted October 15, 2020 Author #64 Posted October 15, 2020 Also decided to throw in a net (made from mosquito netting) and some floats (made from cork slivers). Of course, the cork came from my favorite Spanish bottle of wine! In this photo, the net was just placed and covered with diluted white glue. The glue is still wet. It won't look so shiny when it dries... wefalck, mtaylor, Tony Hunt and 6 others 9 Quote COMPLETED: Amistad Schooner, 1839, 1:96 Scale Zephyr Steam Boat, Puget Sound, Late 1800s, 1:96 Scale Chinese Junk (Fictional), 1:96 Scale Light Vessel 114, Fire Island, 1930, 1:93 Scale Bretagne, 1908 French Fishing Sloop, 1:48 Scale Barco Catalan, Late 1800s Spanish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Brazzera, 1908 Italian Boat for Fishing and Cabotage, 1:48 Scale Galway Hooker, Late 1800s Irish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Fifie, 1870 Scottish Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale Misainier, 1906 French Fishing Boat, 1:48 Scale U.S. Mine Sweeping Boat MSB-6, 1952, 1:96 Scale

BobG Posted October 16, 2020 #67 Posted October 16, 2020 Beautiful model! Well done! I saw your photos in the gallery and just scanned through your build log and will go back and study it closer. I love these small, working vessels. Your weathering is wonderful and I've never seen some of the techniques that you have used. Your build log will be a great resource for me. mtaylor and Tony Hunt 2 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"
