Niagara by Sergey Karelia - FINISHED - Model Shipways

[Sergey Karelia]

Hello everyone! A few years ago I started assembling this amazing ship. the elements from the set are not quite satisfied - they are very brittle. For this reason, I had to do a lot myself and took a lot of time. for some period I was at a dead end until I found this forum - I have very little information on the ship. Here I looked at the topics on this model and was inspired by the model again.

This is the Model Shipways kit? Beautiful work so far!

Not quite. Only drawings, carronades and cannons remained from the kit. I used pear rails for the deck, sheathed the sides with black and yellow hornbeam (I do not like and do not know how to paint wood). the frames were brittle, I cut everything out of plywood. I wind the threads myself from Gutermann Tera, they are not twisted in the set in my opinion

Made a mistake. Retreated from the size and got a problem.

the dead-eye should be lower

[Sergey Karelia]

correct it. installed the blocks on top of the ezelhoft

modified the yard

I started assembling the hammock netting.

chose an easy way

it did not work out exactly to make a rail (the textile is movable), I'll take them off. I'll try to put wooden slats.

but the concept is correct

Wonderful work!! Your non-painted wood looks better than painted!

Nice work. I'll definitely keep an eye on your build log as I progress on mine.

[Sergey Karelia]

over the past couple of days, we have only managed to prepare the threads. I made 10 meters each.

it will take much more. I decided to remake the guns. I did well, but I can do better

[Sergey Karelia]

you can see it better in this photo. this is even before the oil covering

Lovely model! Well executed! Always loved that green color on the bulwarks  

[schooner]

Wonderful build!!!! From what you said in one of your early posts this is basically a scratch build. Lovely woodworking!
