PRS Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share #31 Posted March 21, 2021 Started on making masts and could not find the bottom pieces. Quick design and print on the 3d printer solved the issue.

BeeWee Posted March 21, 2021 Share #32 Posted March 21, 2021 Question for you. When you cut the sanctions that fit on the sides what did you use to cut them? FrankWouts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a razer saw and then cleaned up with a sanding block.

PRS Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share #35 Posted March 27, 2021 Put together the stand that comes with it but am questioning whether it will be stable enough.

PRS Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share #36 Posted March 27, 2021 Got my ropewalk and this is a thing or beauty. I tried to do the wrapping by hand and it was difficult to say the least. With the ropewalk it is easy to do an everyone should have one. To do the wrap on the top of the masts I just use a piece of brass wire through the one end.

PRS Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share #37 Posted March 28, 2021 Made up a small clamp to hold the blocks while I rig them up.

PRS Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share #38 Posted April 4, 2021 Have some of the rigging done. Learning as I go and have made some mistakes with the knots not staying tight but overall I can live with it since it is my first time doing this. Trying different glues to see what works best for keeping the knots tight. I have settled on a 50/50 water/Modge Podge mix as it gets into the knots good and dries a satin.

PRS Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share #39 Posted April 10, 2021 So I am finished! I learned a lot of new techniques and had a lot of fun. I think I am hooked. Mistakes made and overcome and even though the instructions were not the best because of the lack of plans I worked through it. Here are the finished pictures. hof00, David Lester, Michel L. and 1 other 4 Quote Paul Current Build: HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed Build: HM Cutter Cheerful-Syren Ship Models 1/48 Completed Build: Artesania Latina Bluenose II Completed Build : Lady Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhermann Posted April 10, 2021 Share #40 Posted April 10, 2021 Very nice model! I like the contrast the veneer makes below the waterline. Thanks for sharing the build.

I might have been better using thread and tying them but I will go with this. Here is where I am at so far with things mounted on the deck. Paul the railing on the aft deck has a cut away which instructions say is 59mm long. Does the cut away face inwards or outwards? Instructions don't really show it.

hof00 Posted May 26, 2021 Share #42 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Hi Chap, Very nice build!! I'm hooked also, I think it's partly due to the scent of the A/L new kit wood.... 🙂 Wot's next? Cheers....HOF.

I agree the instructions are lacking.

Very inspiring, good tips and techniques with beautiful results! Frank.
