HMS Endeavour by Rock_From_Korea - FINISHED - Corel - 1:60

[Rock_From_Korea]

Hi All,

 

I am posting some photos that I have already posted in the Korea Model Sailboat Club since January this year (actual building started in November 2020). this is my second HMS Endeavor and earmarked for a present to my younger sister. I got a lot of help from MSW from various members' build logs, especially Dave Row and Shipaholic (Steve). Of course my build is nowhere near the level of many of the members in MSW. Anyway, I plan to upload my building logs in tandem with my current log in the Korea Model Sailboat Club.

 

I welcome all advise and comments. I may post a lot of queries in this log as well.

Oh~ forgot the posting that I uploaded today. The lego serving machine picture was posted 2 weeks ago. Since I did not use serving machine before, I had to improvise and came up with a solution involving lego. Not as nice as many of the expertly made serving machines in MSW, but it is producing quite satisfactory results.

Hi All,

 

The latest work in the shipyard.

 

The lego serving machine is becoming very useful. The below are the shroud line and foremast tackle related servings before the fuzzy fluffs are removed with lighter.

 

[Rock_From_Korea]

I have started the shroud work in earnest, beginning with foremast. Foremast shrouds were served with black thread. It was hard to see the quality of the serving since the shroud lines are also black. So, I switched to greyish tan color for shroud serving.

I attached and finished the foremast tackles before the shroud installments began in full gear. Foremast deadeye work also finished and beginning work on main mast tackle and shrouds.

Some really nice work there and I am interested in the differences between the Corel Endeavour and the one I am currently building by Caldercraft. You are much further on than me but what I can see you have made an excellent job so far. If I may ask a question regarding what size deadeyes are you using for the lower shrouds,? Which by the way look very neat and tidy.Also I look forward to any further updates on your blog. Thank you .and best regards Dave

Hi Dave,

 

Thanks very much for your kind comments! I am using 5mm deadeyes for the lower shrouds and will be using 4 mm deadeyes for the upper shrouds. I have visited your build log and it seems that your Endeavor is coming along quite nice and well! I have never had the chance to work on Caldercraft models before, but I had built Artesania Latina Endeavor before. 

 

Corel Endeavor kit does not come with any decoration parts for the stern - I had to mold the figures and decorative parts from my Artesania Latina Endeavor. The wood quality and threads seem to be better than Artesania Latina, but overall I realized that Artesania Latina kits have been undervalued by many (including myself). Corel also does not come with any sail plans - once again I am referencing  Artesania Latina plans for the sails.

 

Thanks! Rock

Worked on the stays and redone the wheel rigging.

Hello everyone! 

 

Uploading recent updates - mast top related works . Mast top dead eyes were done using serving instead of soldering. Not ideal but wife does not like the smell of soldering. Anyway, mast top works are mostly done except for the rails.

 

[Rock_From_Korea]

Hi everyone~

 

Uploading recent work at the shipyard - blocks for lower mast yards, sheets and yards for the lower mast area, installed additional belaying pins for the sheets. Also, as I am going to use much thinner ropes for ratlines from the mid mast section onwards, I dyed lower mast portion ratlines with black ink (water based) to match the color of the thin rope that I have available for the mid section ratlines.

[Rock_From_Korea]

Hi All,

 

Progress has been a bit slow in the shipyard but managed to finish futtock shrouds - it took more time than I anticipated. I am using a thinner rope for the ratlines from futtock shrouds and later for the mid shrouds (right jargon?). Th kit provided ropes are relatively low quality (with much fluffs) and thick for the mid section ratlines anyway.

 

[Rock_From_Korea]

Hi All,

 

Managed to finish crowsfeet, cross tree and other top mast related works. Below are some picture on crowsfeet work

Hi All,

 

It seems that MSW's page break set-up is calibrated to about 30 posts. And since I have put in many pictures in single posts, the page is getting too long. I will post individual pictures (or couple of pictures per post) for the next couple of posts and resume the usual method once the page is turned.

 

The yards are finished as per below.

The square sails are attached to the yards.

Starting with the Mizzen mast yard rigging.

 

[Rock_From_Korea]

Mizzen mast yard rigging continued...

[Rock_From_Korea]

Mizzen top mast (?) rigging started and I plan to position the sails half (or partially) furled.

[Rock_From_Korea]

The fabric I used is more or less the thinnest fabric that can be used in our sewing machine, and yet natural look of partially furled sails are quite difficult to achieve.

Overview of the ship after the first sails are attached.

[Rock_From_Korea]

Mizzen mast sails are more or less done with partially furled sail - not completely to my satisfaction, but still acceptable i think.

Hi All,

 

Work has been progressing steadily on yard and sheet installments and rigging. Some photos of the work as below.

 

Main sheet view from front and back.

Main sheet installed.

Main sheet furling begins : once again, I am trying to represent a partially furled sail here.
