KarenM Posted July 9, 2023 Author #62 Posted July 9, 2023 At first I wanted to carve it in its entirety, but it seemed to me difficult and I made it in two parts. Front and back. Then glued. mtaylor, Saburo, chris watton and 2 others 5 Quote

KarenM Posted July 14, 2023 Author #79 Posted July 14, 2023 Since there was no spars in the book, I made it according to the book "The rigging of the ships in the days of spritsail topmast 1600-1720" druxey, scrubbyj427, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote

botra288 Posted July 15, 2023 #81 Posted July 15, 2023 Karen, you do construction and carving work at an exceptional level, I would be happy if you could explain in detail the working methods in creating the ship parts as well as the amazing carving you create, so that we can learn from you and there is a lot to learn😀 mtaylor and Hubac's Historian 2 Quote
KarenM Posted July 15, 2023 Author #82 Posted July 15, 2023 Frames, bars on the windows I draw in autocad or in corel. Then I cut it out on a CNC machine from wooden dies of different thicknesses. I draw the decor in 3dmax, then cut it out on a CNC machine and bring it to the final with a drill. For guns I make a master model from wood, then I cast it from tin. Then all the copper is electrolyzed and then blackened with a chemical solution. It's so hard to describe everything in detail. If you have specific questions, write, I will answer. I twist the ropes for rigging on a special machine, which was made for me according to my drawings. For tying blocks, always caged ropes. I also check the first shrouds and all the loops that touch the spars. KentM, botra288, Ryland Craze and 1 other 4 Quote

Hubac's Historian Posted July 19, 2023 #88 Posted July 19, 2023 This build is not unfolding in real time, correct? This is a progression of photos of a model you have already completed, yes? I’m already uber impressed, but if you are actually building at this pace, I will be at a complete loss for words. mtaylor and Ryland Craze 2 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
KarenM Posted July 19, 2023 Author #89 Posted July 19, 2023 I have been building a ship for 2 years. It remains to hang 3 yards. I think in a month I will finish the construction. chris watton, scrubbyj427, Hubac's Historian and 2 others 3 2 Quote
