MD11pilot Posted July 8, 2015 Share #1809 Posted July 8, 2015 Hey Augie, after returning from my sabbatical, I spent a pleasurable hour this morning catching up on your new (at least new to me) project. You've been a busy boy!! As always, nicely done. I look forward to following along for the rest of the project and gaining inspiration and knowledge from your comprehensive building log.

augie Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share #1811 Posted July 14, 2015 Has taken about 6 weeks to enjoy our vacation and then address some domestic and minor health issues. But I've finally gotten the shipyard up and running once again. Decided to finish up the guns on the QD. There are only four 4 pounders due to the layout of the open decking. Once again, the brass cannon were supplied by Chuck's Syren company and they're a perfect fit for the kit-supplied carraiges. No need to detail the construction process again. I need to finish up one railing on the QD before I move to the bow planking. Will be operating on a reduced 'summer schedule' for a time......but it feels great to be back 'home'. Here's hoping the summer has been going well for all those here up North. It's been fun following everyone's progress. popeye the sailor, lambsbk, src and 26 others 29 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augie Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share #1823 Posted July 20, 2015 I wasn't going to post this photo of the QD main rail but it keeps 'calling' me. Note the simulated sheaves in the lower stanchions. The lower rail is doubled to produce a nice beaded effect whereas the upper is a single so as not to make it too massive. I left it in natural finish (rather than the suggested black) as I'm going with black for all the belaying pins and, against the swiss pear deck, we see a nice contrast. Onward to the long forgotten bow! canoe21, Jack12477, dvm27 and 35 others 38 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
