Jeff preisler Posted April 18, 2023 Author #32 Posted April 18, 2023 Completed and attached bowsprit, added all the required blocks, eye bolts to the bow for the rigging. Also installed trail boards then finished and installed the cutter. Progress has been slow for me the last month or so as I've been busy with other projects, but after all this work completed, I finally mounted the ship to its permanent base. I previously had all the masts, yards, boom and gaffs completed so now I'm ready to put my rigging skills that I have learned to work. ccoyle, Ryland Craze, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Past builds: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35783-lightship-112-nantucket-1936-by-jeff-preisler-finished-bluejacket-shipcrafters-scale- https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33624-uss-perry-by-jeff-preisler-finished-bluejacket-shipcrafters-scale-1/8 =1'
Jeff preisler Posted May 1, 2023 Author #33 Posted May 1, 2023 Work is progressing slowly, but she is starting to come to life. Installed lower and top mast shrouds over the last few days. Hopefully I can get this completed in the next few weeks. Sure, wish I knew some shortcuts to working with those tiny deadeyes as some modelers make this look so easy. Although not perfect, I'm pleased with my results so far and I guess that's all that should matter. I will get better at this as I gain experience. ccoyle, chris watton, MrBlueJacket and 4 others 6 1 Quote Past builds: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/35783-lightship-112-nantucket-1936-by-jeff-preisler-finished-bluejacket-shipcrafters-scale- https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33624-uss-perry-by-jeff-preisler-finished-bluejacket-shipcrafters-scale-1/8 =1'

Jeff preisler Posted June 10, 2023 Author #39 Posted June 10, 2023 After 6 months and a huge number of hours, I'm finally calling this ship complete except for the case that I will have to make yet. I made some mistakes along the way, but I am very pleased with the outcome. This is my 1st 2 masted sailing ship, and it was quite the challenge for me. Last year I was fortunate enough to take Nic's (Bluejacket ship crafters) rigging class, and I can say that class was very, very helpful and I learned so much. The only problem I have now is figuring out what my next project will be.

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted June 10, 2023 #42 Posted June 10, 2023 That's nice how well the greenish-treated copper bottom came out. 'Shows one does not have to fuss with tiny plates or copper tape to have a decent effect. Besides, it mostly underneath and not what the observer admires most - namely the fitting-out, masting and rigging ... all well-done.

I agree with you on the coppering of the hull, I think in this scale it looks just as good if done right. Glad you like.
