Javelin Posted September 22, 2023 Share #31 Posted September 22, 2023 Great job so far. Do the details reflect the plans from Smithsonian or are those plans more obscure and open to interpretation? mtaylor 1 Quote Roel Gallery Scratch built: 1/700 CLV Living Stone 1/700 ULCC Ti Europe 1/400 Split barge Bengel 1/100 tug Union Eagle 1/2000 Sea Installer - bottle Build logs: 1/2000 Sea Installer - FINISHED - Bottle 1/2000 Spartacus - not in a bottle anymore 1/100 LPG Tanker Chaconia - Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threebs Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share #37 Posted October 16, 2023 The New York's barge/whale boat is pretty much done.. Needs some final touches to clean up fuzz and paint job. I was busy the past week making an in depth video series on making a ship's boat. It is in 9 parts! About half are 10 minutes or so long, but several run 15 to 25 minutes. I have them on U tube. My channel is @gregbaumgartner8257 I have not tried or looked into posting video here. Is it allowed and if so how do you select videos to up load? archjofo, GrandpaPhil, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmherbert Posted December 9, 2023 Share #50 Posted December 9, 2023 Beautiful work. Were those staples holding the shrouds to the cardboard on the jig? How do you go about setting that up. I've always been nervous about ratlines but that looks like a great way to keep them all straight and the shrouds in line.

dvm27 Posted December 9, 2023 Share #51 Posted December 9, 2023 Very nice job on those ratlines. I often see them too large when compared to the shrouds but yours look very much to scale. I found that tying every fifth row, then filling in the spaces between, keeps them correctly tensioned all the way up.

threebs Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share #57 Posted December 19, 2023 The super glue drys shinny, so it serves 2 purposes. I coat the ratlines with the clear matte spray to eliminate the shininess and it seals the rope fibers so if it is not in a case and gathers dust, The dust does not penetrate into the rope seams and fibers. It makes blowing the dust off with a small compressor is easy. I coat all of my rigging this way. mtaylor and Coyote_6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted December 25, 2023 Share #60 Posted December 25, 2023 I love the gratings which look very realistic and that the copper bottom plates do not have the rivet-like protrusions as seen on so many models. Nice work! For the future, maybe try brass belaying pins if you cannot make wooden ones to scale. Yours look well shaped but pretty fat. These are not the easiest things to make, but it can be done😀 Allan Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.
