ECK Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share #153 Posted September 15, 2023 Had the same issue as Glen with the stern cleats, likely did not push edges down enough when gluing the deck. Used this to elongate. Then glue and filler Then paint Did the faux wood Final placement Unfortunately the glare makes the stern look a bit off but not in real life.

ECK Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share #154 Posted September 17, 2023 Continuing onward, finished the deck fittings for the stern of the ship. Can see nicely through the skylight. You may notice I removed the stern lanterns as I was always catching and bending them. Will put back at the end. Fitted the carronades You can see I wrapped the wheel with the steering tackle The Capstan lines up nicely and inserted into the lower deck one. Hopefully will finish by the end of the week. I will not install much of the railing as I usually bend it all out of shape when I am doing the rigging. Of course the anchors will also wait until the end. My debate is masts or the ships boats which are always a bugger to do. chris watton, davyboy, Kevin and 6 others 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share #161 Posted September 26, 2023 Finished planking the buggers. There are 5 ships boats provided, duplicate 24 ft boats but I had to much battle damage on one of them to continue. Have 1 each 32,26,24 and 18 footers. Will take a lot of sanding, filler and paint to get them into shape. Matt D, mugje, RossR and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share #172 Posted October 15, 2023 Well, back after a week of visiting my mother on the occasion of her 91st birthday. Am building the mast lower sections first then upper. Previously I would build each entire mast but as these require painting and bindings I decided to do a bit more assembly line manner. I used tape instead of the black cardboard as I always mess the cardboard up and the tape sticks better. As the tape will be painted, color not an issue. I also added nail head as there are markings for bolts but the plan does not specify. I think it dresses the top up . mtaylor, JeffT, chris watton and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share #176 Posted October 22, 2023 Thanks. The airbrush I bought for the project really helps the tops keep their lines visible.

ECK Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share #178 Posted October 22, 2023 Last job of the day, also did the bowsprit, not as bad as I thought. The plans were well drawn making the angle cuts pretty straight forward. I opted for the extended jib. Stiker not on as it is one of the parts Itend to break so will add at the end. The bowsprit is not full engaged as I do not plan on putting it in until the masts have all their shrouds in at which point I will do the stays. mgatrost, Thukydides, Theodosius and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share #180 Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Spent the week making up all the yards. Not rigged yet as they have to be painted first. There are some differences from other yards I have done. In this the fore and main topsail yard have a different central configuration compared to the mains. Pre spray painting. Note I use tape instead of the cardboard as I never get the cardboard correct. The tape sprays up nicely. Unfortunately I was short 2 8mm dowels in the kit but luckily I had spare dowels in the shipyard. After Painting mizzen Main Fore and spritsail Next week will be gigging the yards.
