Paul Le Wol Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share #91 Posted April 21, 2022 Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing fine and thanks to all for the very appreciated Likes. Well another week, another rope coil revision. There can only be so many ways you can make one of these things and I think that I have attempted all of them. Finally settled on this way. Just glued a small loop onto the coil. Made the usual coil but tied the top together with cotton thread. Pinned the coil into another jig and attached a small loop with CA. Just glued it at the orange pin. Flipped it over and pinned it into another jig. Washed it with diluted clear acrylic and let it dry in place. When it was dry (20 minutes) it was mounted with a machine screw weighing it down to give it a bit better shape. Applied more acrylic and removed the screw after everything had dried. At last count there were ten more to do. The next update will definitely not be about making rope coils.😃 Nunnehi (Don), ccoyle, BobG and 3 others 5 1 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Paul Le Wol Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share #92 Posted April 24, 2022 Hi Everyone, today I am declaring that my Cheerful is finished. This build has been a lot of fun and a great learning experience. A big thank you to all of the people who joined me on this journey and to those who have guided me along the way. Hopefully we can do it again one day. Dave_E, petervisser, SUBaron and 11 others 10 2 2 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

glbarlow Posted April 24, 2022 Share #97 Posted April 24, 2022 Very well done Paul! Congratulations on completing this great model, I know it was much more challenging than it might seem having built my own. Excellent photography as well. I recommend you use those to set up a gallery here on the forum. Beautifully done!

Paul Le Wol Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share #99 Posted April 24, 2022 Thank you everyone for your Likes and Comments. You have all been very generous with them and I appreciate that so very much. Dave, by the time I thought about rigging the anchors it was already too late to cut holes in the grating for the rope. It does kind of look sparse at the bow, especially without the cannons. Maybe when it’s time for a refit things can be added 😀 Dave_E and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Paul Le Wol Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share #102 Posted April 24, 2022 Thanks Glenn for your comment and for reminding me about the gallery. I’ll see if I can get the files renamed. Ryland, thanks for your comment. I know how much value I got out of everyone else’s build logs so here’s hoping my next one will be a little more fine tuned. ct mike, Dave_E, Nunnehi(Don), Jean-Paul, DanB, thank you for your great comments. BobG, thank you. I started today setting up a build board for the next build. Time to start thinking about what comes after that. I do find myself looking at a lot of J-Class yachting videos over at the internet. ccoyle, Ryland Craze, BobG and 2 others 5 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Paul Le Wol Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share #104 Posted April 24, 2022 Hi Chuck, thank you very much. Cheerful has been a very enjoyable experience for me. I was really hoping that you would have developed another vessel similar in size to Cheerful by the time I was finished. I don’t know how you find the time in the day to do everything you do but here’s hoping maybe by next year 😀 Ryland Craze and Dave_E 2 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.
