Reub Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share #31 Posted April 27, 2023 The hatches are done ( i will only put in the eyebolts and rings after varnishing the deck ). I also finished one of the deckhouses. I lost the doors so i had to improvise…. They are almost like a kit of their own.

Reub Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share #32 Posted May 1, 2023 Hi all. the channels have been fitted as well as the larger deadeyes(i am busy with the smaller ones). I messed up with the channels in the provided mohogany so i used some left over walnut. I also fitted some of the features on the front of the boat. The anchor davits were quite tricky as the instructions are blurry. The front railing has also been fitted. regards. ccoyle, Начинающий судомоделист, Knocklouder and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reub Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share #40 Posted June 2, 2023 Hi all. progress has been a bit slow due to mid semester exams. The fore and mainmast deadeyes are complete as well as some deck furniature. regards hof00, Gaffrig, chris watton and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petervisser Posted June 13, 2023 Share #41 Posted June 13, 2023 Great work on your Cutty Sark so far. It's always fun to see others working on the same ship (different kits) to see the difference in fittings and materials. I managed to get the bow and stern decoration from AL for my model after having seen it on another model in the Build forum. Keep up the great work!

Reub Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share #42 Posted August 1, 2023 Hi all. a milestone has been reached. All deck fittings have been added and the whole deck has been varnished( unfortunately, the metal pieces on which the 3 lifeboats at the back rest are too small and are broken. I have decided to hang two of the lifeboats on the rear davits). The next step is to fit all the eyebolts and anchors etc.. and then its onto the masts and rigging. kind regards LeoM, VitusBering, chris watton and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hof00 Posted August 2, 2023 Share #43 Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Very Nice!! Regarding the Boat Skids, you could keep the Legs and Laminate some strip wood with a slight Curve, dill some holes in the ends of the laminated strip and fit the Legs. (If you don't have the Legs, you cold make them from Brass Wire.) Just an idea.... 🙂 Cheers.... HOF.

Reub Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share #46 Posted August 8, 2023 Hi all. Small update. the bowsprit is done and work has started on the foremast. Alot of the metal pieces’ rings came broken as can be seen in one of the photos. I have thus far used the intact ones. Any ideas to fix or substitute are welcome. Ordinarily, i would just super glue the broken pieces but the broken off rings are nowhere to be found. Maybe i just have to insert extra eyebolts in the mast or is there a more elegant solution? All comments and suggestions are welcome. kind regards ccoyle, berhard, VitusBering and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hof00 Posted August 8, 2023 Share #47 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Hi there, Maybe you could remove the broken Ring, (Carefully as they are White Metal, File?), Drill a small hole and replace with an Eyebolt attached with CA. To add strength the Eyebolt could be attached after the fitting is attached to the Mast so the Shaft of the Eyebolt penetrates the Mast also. Another idea, if the thickness of the fitting is too thin to drill, you could always mount an Eyebolt immediately under the fitting attached directly to the Mast. My guess is that these rings are for Stays so you want something that ca withstand a bit of tension. (My two cents worth. 🙂) Cheers....HOF.

LeoM Posted August 9, 2023 Share #48 Posted August 9, 2023 Is it an idea to ask AL for replacement?
