Knocklouder Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share #31 Posted June 10, 2022 was looking on MSW for how to do the sails I need to look some more, on how to stain them make them look like they are in the wind. Deadeyes are coming along ,I tied them on, but will cut them off because after gluing them on they wont move and cant thread them. So cutting then off and putting back non with wire .

Louie da fly Posted June 11, 2022 Share #34 Posted June 11, 2022 I had the same problem with threading the deadeyes, and I ended up doing the same thing - remove the deadeyes, thread them and put them back on again. I don't know what other people do, though. Steven Old Collingwood 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Knocklouder Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share #37 Posted June 15, 2022 Was looking around MSW today welcoming new members. then looked at the dates they were from 5 years ago lol stick to what you know Bob lol, any way here are a few up dates I really have to thank MSW for all the help at first I thought you cant do this but people here have so much knowledge and skill that if I run into problems I can find a way to fix it here. Never thought this would be this fun, making a ship from a set of plans, planking ,rigging, sail making. I know I will be a builder of ships the rest of my life lol. So first, this is how I did my shroud lines and dead eyes i spaced the dead eyes for easy threading then double checked even triple checked to see if it the right distance for dead eyes GrandpaPhil, Prowler901 and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Start so you can Finish !!

Knocklouder Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share #40 Posted June 15, 2022 If I could write a better log I would but not that good on computer, pictures don't line up with the story but the picture tell a thousand stories lol. Great logs on MSW make it easier to see how it done . this is all I have done so far, made the dead eyes for the other side too it coming along well I am happy with it, Life boat was fun, rigging is hard to do with big hands but I am loving it thanks so much all for you inspiration.
