USF Confederacy by Augie & Moonbug - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64


Recommended Posts

Hi Augie,

 

I've finally managed to get up to date on your build log...took a while to say the least.  :)

 

The time was well spent as your build is amazing and I learnt a lot. Really like the way this kit allows you to add so much detail and the pumps above are just the latest example of your great work.

 

Now I have to go and look up what a "jeer bitt" is and what it does! 

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Sweet work on the bitts and pumps.  And the rope coils are a nice touch.  Super nifty, my friend.

The quarterdeck details, beams, carlings and  knees have been completed:

With that, we bid fare thee well to the stern and turn our attention to the long forgotten bow.

 

Before tearing into it, I've prepared the beams and knees to go under the forecastle deck.  These will be set as we install the bow details:

Thanks to all for stopping by once again.  

 

John  -  yes, the details are fun......if sometimes a bit frustrating.

 

Rich  -- no, the pumps don't work.  But at my elevation, no need to worry.  I know there are many craftsmen on board who wouldn't rest until they did !!
