Photo Bud Posted October 24, 2020 #1 Posted October 24, 2020 A new beginning to an old project. I acquired the Amati Endeavour around 2005, let it sit for awhile and then started it, only to drop it again after minimal progress. Here is the kit box. Got the bulkheads installed, deck base added, and started mast tapering (seen on the grooved board I used to keep it straight over the years). Sorry for the messy area, but the desk will need to be cleaned of model railroading stuff before I restart this project! lol btw - The tools alone were "almost" worth the cost of the kit. Used several of them over the years for other modeling tasks! Quote The Old Curmudgeon. Current Build(s): Cutty Sark by Photo Bud - Revell - 1:220 Endeavour by Photo Bud - Amati - 1:80
Photo Bud Posted October 24, 2020 Author #2 Posted October 24, 2020 Wondering if these clamps are the best way to hold strakes in place during build? Quote The Old Curmudgeon. Current Build(s): Cutty Sark by Photo Bud - Revell - 1:220 Endeavour by Photo Bud - Amati - 1:80
bolin Posted October 24, 2020 #3 Posted October 24, 2020 I don´t think I have seen that type anywhere, but they certainly looks like they will do their job well.

Photo Bud Posted October 24, 2020 Author #4 Posted October 24, 2020 I have the tools, now just need the skills! That Cutty Sark is from decades ago that took a deep dive off a bookcase many years ago, maybe to finally be resurrected. Quote The Old Curmudgeon.

Photo Bud Posted November 8, 2020 Author #5 Posted November 8, 2020 My apologies to those who have supported me in this and have encouraged me, but medical issues have brought me to a standstill, both physically and mentally. I'm hoping after my next set of procedures, I can get back on track with both ship modelling and HO train modelling. Until then I take comfort in watching this forum and occasionally adding my two cents worth! Quote The Old Curmudgeon.
