mtaylor Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share #250 Posted December 26, 2021 Thank you all. I'm pondering the rest of the build. Not stopping it but "modifying" it. I'm going to not do the masts and rigging as display space is an issue so how far do I go? An example would be the channels. I'll add them but not the deadeyes though that is subject to change. So I'll make decisions as I go.. My long term goal is after Sphinx, to finish Belle Poule (no masts or rigging) and then make some choices. Maybe Vanguard's razee or more likely CAF's Bellona. The idea of a big 74 is very appealing at this point. A lot of pondering going on while waiting for glue to dry.

mtaylor Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share #259 Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks for the inputs and feedback. I'm still sorting things out as I go. Hopefully the PE tools I ordered will be here tomorrow unless the pass gets closed again, In many ways, this is a challenge to me as I've done next to no PE. At some point, I'll either have it sorted or perhaps print out the PE plans, paint, fix, and glue that down instead of the PE.

mtaylor Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share #260 Posted January 2, 2022 Just a short update and how I solved a minor but irritating issue. The instructions have us install the channels and then knees. The issue I had was getting the channels installed at the proper angle and all of them having the same angle from the hull as the instructions have you install the channels first. I finally removed them, cleaned up the mess and decided to do it backwards. Installed the knees first and aligned them with to the proper placement. Then installed the channels and am very happy with the result. Onwards!!!!!!!!!!

mtaylor Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share #262 Posted January 11, 2022 Finally, an update. Been a bit of a stretch for me on the bow. Lots of tiny parts that if one is not careful, they break or go flying off into the "ether" never to be seen again. Luckily, Chris provided extras. My only comment is that I should have left either painting or the mounting of the deck bits until last. With all the black things got a bit hard to see after a while. I think I need to upgrade my lighting at the build bench. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Here's the photos of where I am and then off to work on the stern. On second thought.... I need to do quite a bit of touch up on the paint and/or a lot of dusting. Macro photography is not our friend either. And the flash wiped out the color in some areas. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. gjdale, JeffT, No Idea and 21 others 23 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
