Geam Posted February 8, 2022 Share #91 Posted February 8, 2022 Either do nothing and not look at it any more or, add another brass strap ABOVE the exisiting hull strap. Then it will look like an extra strong hull pintle fixture.

Norwegian Plastic Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share #92 Posted February 8, 2022 Tonight i have changed 4 windows in my new house and started to build the lines that haul the flyer boom in/out. The house is built the same year as the boat and the plan is to move there in july-with a finished boat🙈 yvesvidal and ccoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geam Posted February 9, 2022 Share #93 Posted February 9, 2022 Looks like you will have more space for a hobby room than I do! Nice work on the 'klyver'. What did you use to stain the 'rope'? I plan to use wood-stain. 'Herdins Lackbets' or the like. Those who don't intend to sail use tea /coffee ! George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geam Posted February 9, 2022 Share #94 Posted February 9, 2022 Just realised...shouldn't be posting photos of my build on your thread! Sorry! You can ask the editor to remove them or maybe you can do it yourself? Not sure. Are you going to build a 'Nordlandsjolla' to go with the CA? I made one from a plastic dinghy hull. I'll stop bothering you now, and get on with my build! George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not use any of the rope suplied with the kit. I ordered some ropes from Syren and some from Ebay and they are brown as in the pictures. Those that I have stained I used Vallejo brown wash, I do not think wood stain is a good idea, the ropes would be very stiff when it hardens? https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/miniature-rope.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, you can start your own build log, and link the pictures from it. Personally i'd love to see your log as well, i'm always impressed by models with interior.

George It is nice to have some activity in the building log and I only know of you, Sundt and Arjan building this kit so let us share ideas and solutions. No need to remove the pictures of your beautiful interior! Regarding the dinghy, I have no plan at the moment. When the house is done in July I will start making the sails, my wife has forbidden it until she has a batroom and kitchen in the new house....

George I forgot to mention that I use stainless steel wire for the stays and shrouds. It is 1,2 mm from Biltema. The wire for the railing and inhaul for the flyer boom is bead wire from the hobby shop. I used bead wire to tie the ring at the bottom of the mizen mast as well. ccoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Plastic Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share #99 Posted February 10, 2022 Last night I build the topsail yard with hailyard, guideline, and block. I have tapered the yard to recemble the real measures (8 cm at the middle and 5,5 cm at the ends) and made a hook at the front lower starboard leg of the pinboard for the hailyard. The hailyard is made from bead wire with a chain (1 meter - 6,6 cm in scale) at the top. I also made a hook and the fitting around the yard to connect the chain. None of this was included in the kit. I have also found that the different hailyards are going on the pinboard at other pins than in the manual.

Norwegian Plastic Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share #104 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) I replaced the kerosine holder with a bigger one and did some adjustments. The lamp is now primed and ready for paint. I have had problems in earlier builds with paint/primer not adhering to brass very well, so this time I tried automotive silicone cleaner before priming with automotive grey etch primer. It is an experiment… Edited February 15, 2022 by Norwegian Plastic yvesvidal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geam Posted February 18, 2022 Share #109 Posted February 18, 2022 Your main cabin oil lamp looks superb NP! I plan to make mine with a ready-made oil lamp and solder/epoxy some brass tube here and there. It'll look a bit skinny compared to the real one...and a bit big at approx' 1/12th scale, but I can live with that. Thanks for the tip on staining 'rope'. You are quite right, staining with wood-stain produces less flexible rope. I'll try to mix some 'brown wash'. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Plastic Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share #111 Posted February 20, 2022 So far, so good. There is not more fabric than needed supplied with the kit so I need to buy some for reinforcements and edges. If it is not excactly the same fabric I think it is a good thing because it will make details stand out. Maybe… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Plastic Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share #112 Posted February 23, 2022 It is a lot more easy to iron the pieces with hemming web. Found this out the hard way… Long story short, I started all over again and made new sails from a better fabric then started to add the reinforcement panels. lmagna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
