HMB Endeavour by Bankie - Artesania Latina - 1:60 - Circa 1768


Recommended Posts

Hi Adrieke,

thanks for the advice on the gunwales. It is most appreciated.

 

I would also like to thank you for mentioning no build log in my signature. I have now rectified this and I hope you don't mind but I used yours as my template.  B)

Current builds : AL HMB Endeavour 1:60

Next build :       Vasa 1:100

Previous Build : Nil

Thanks Rowand,

same here miserable weather gives me something to do on the kit. I'm playing around with adding the keel and getting set up for first planking. I like the idea of adding some balsa filling to the bow and stern as Adrieke has done.  It looks good and I think should support the planking.

 

I feel I'm getting to the scary stuff now as I've never planked a hull before.. looks really complicated!!  :bird-vi:

Hi Bankie,

 

Your deck came out well.  I am sure your planking will be fine.  Check out the planking tutorial pdf in the article downloads in this site.  Took me a few reads to get my head round it.  Planking was my least favourite part of the build though.

 

Cheers

Slog

Hi Bankie

Isn't it amazing how the build between two different kits are so different for the same ship  :o 

I am a LONG way from doing my gunwales

The ship is half finished before mine go on  :piratetongueor4: 

 

Also same as Adriaan you have no mast or keel holes set in the decks

That has got to make life difficult I would have thought

No doubt it will all come together in the end

It is certainly coming along well now

You are a lot neater with your edges than I am  B) 

 

Keep it up  :10_1_10:

Thanks Mick,

yes, it seems the kits can differ by quite a bit,  I'm now taking it a bit carefully because the hull planking looks really difficult.  As advised by Capt Slog I will spend some time reading the articles before I commit.

 

I thought building a wooden model ship would be relaxing.. not stressful!!   :bird-vi:

Well I moved further on with the Gunwales and in fact probably moved too far as if i'd read the (3 lines) of the instructions more closely, I would have seen that I shouldn't  have started on aligning the tops of the Gunwales this soon!   :(

 

Anyway, I'll move on to adding some balsa to the bow and stern and start work on the first planking strip.  Hopefully I'll be able to fix up any damage, if not as one learned person on this site said.. 'it's only wood and you can always rip it off and start it again".. or at least words to that affect.

 

I've attached some photos of my work to date on the gunwales.

 

What a learning experience but it's a great journey of discovery  B)

Hi guys,

haven't been doing much lately.  I wrecked both my shoulder and finger.!! It's a bit hard to work on the Endevour at the moment but I keep an eye on the logs.  I hope to be back into the action pretty soon.    :(

A lot of us have had illnesses or problems recently Bankie so I guess you are just joining the club  :piratetongueor4:   ;) 

 

I hope you get over it soon so you can get back to your quality work in the Endeavour  :cheers:
