Knocklouder Posted July 16, 2023 Share #31 Posted July 16, 2023 Very nice work my friend, amazing details. I have been ill lately and still can't get back to the shipyard and outside work is piling as well. But I will check in tomorrow to see how she looks with the mast on, fine work.

DonBMichigan Posted July 16, 2023 Share #32 Posted July 16, 2023 I am still following this, you're doing a great job! I am really looking forward to getting back to the pram, then the smack (I'm moving to a new house, and selling my house, and I am surprised how time-consuming it all is). Your guides will be my guide for sure. robert952 and Bryan Woods 1 1 Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In progress: Norwegian Sailing Pram by Model Shipways Completed: Lowell Grand Banks Dory by Model Shipways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Woods Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share #35 Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) After nervously glueing the mast in place, I started with the fore stay. I liked the look of the black rope on the stays. I ordered what I thought was .06mm, which was the smallest I saw at the time. I got .06” which was massive:-) I had some black upholstery thread that I ran through all kinds of treatments to create my own:-) Really no need for details on that, I wouldn’t recommend it. Because it was the first time I clipped both ends, before making it final. I then tied a clove hitch with the thread, slid the knot where I wanted it. Dropped a tiny dot of thin CA on it and pulled it taunt. One thing I didn’t think of and should have was making the chainplates. I didn’t check how well it married with the given turnbuckle. I was lucky one did and one had to have help from my messy friend CA. Don’t look at the messy hook. Look at the nail I made from smashing a copper wire and bending it over:-) I couldn’t get the shoulder under the head of the tack in kit to lay down. They got put with my .06” rope. After the stays I threaded the blocks on travleler Here is a better shot of the looped beading needle that’s been so helpful. Next I threaded the three corners on the jib sail. Another beginner error with the downhaul line false eye. I used the thin CA. It wicks and hardens the rope. There wasn’t enough room for the block to stand up. Here’s what I’m using and the applicator. I pull the lines snug and either taped or weighted them down. I need to check them over, glue and trim. The topping lift, and a punch list is in the future.

Bryan Woods Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share #37 Posted July 21, 2023 This afternoon I tied off the topping lift and tidied up the loose lines. That brought the build to completion. I would highly recommend this shipwright series for one like me, I am new to the hobby and have little experience with the wooden medium. It starts simple while you develop your skill. And this forum compliments, gives advice, and boosts your confidence. Thanks to everyone that was a part of my build. I hope along with all the other logs, someone will find something that will help:-) zifnab, robert952, ccoyle and 9 others 9 3 Quote Current builds: Le Martegaou- 1:80 - Billing Boats Back on the shelf: Gretel - Mamoli Nonsuch 30 - 1:24 - Model Shipway Completed builds: Mini Oseberg no 302 -Billing Boats Sea of Galilee boat Lowell Grand Banks dory, Norwegian sailing pram Muscongus bay lobster smack Peterboro Canoe- Midwest Captain John Smith’s shallop - Pavel Nikitin Chesapeake double kayak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquesCousteau Posted July 21, 2023 Share #40 Posted July 21, 2023 Wow, nice job, congratulations on finishing up with a great-looking model! I'm thinking of planking the deck whenever my own kit arrives. I remember that you mentioned earlier that you weren't sure if the uppermost strake would be wide enough for the thickness of the deck planks. It seems like it all worked out in the end?

Bryan Woods Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share #47 Posted September 1, 2023 When I started modeling, I wondered what the future would hold for the seafaring crafts. This was my third attempt and by far the most enjoyable build. My good friend forever, and supervisor for the next 30 days:-) was the first of many permanent placements. When someone gets a gift and you can feel the appreciation they have for it, the feeling I get is just as satisfying and rewarding as the build:-) JacquesCousteau, WizardOfOs, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Quote Current builds: Le Martegaou- 1:80 - Billing Boats Back on the shelf: Gretel - Mamoli Nonsuch 30 - 1:24 - Model Shipway Completed builds: Mini Oseberg no 302 -Billing Boats Sea of Galilee boat Lowell Grand Banks dory, Norwegian sailing pram Muscongus bay lobster smack Peterboro Canoe- Midwest Captain John Smith’s shallop - Pavel Nikitin Chesapeake double kayak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wawona59 Posted September 14 Share #48 Posted September 14 Hi Bryan, I realize that I'm late to the party, but I really enjoyed reading through your build log. I've learned a lot following your approaches to fixing mistakes. I really like how you took the time to plank the deck. The deck came out great. Many kudos to you for giving your model to supervisor, Shane. I've found that most people really appreciate receiving something that had been built us modelers instead of something bought at a store. I've given a number of small models to kids at our annual model show at the Seattle Museum of Flight. Do you have any thoughts on what your next project will be?

At this time I’ve started a small kit I got on sale for $9.00 🙂 . I’ve been off and on it between other small builds. It’s mini Oseberg no 302 by Billing Boats. I was just going to start a build log on it and catch up to my current progress. I’ll link it in my signature when I start it.
