Geordy Aidan Posted September 22, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2023 This is my first build. I bought the model second hand with the keel and bulkheads all glued in place. The had the false keel stem and stern also glued in place. I was lucky as I also purchased HMS Supply, in the same state as Convulsion, together with HM Bomb Vessel Grando, HMS Bounty and Albertros together with lots of tools and equipment. I started the build in February and did not take any photos until I had finished the second planking.

Geordy Aidan Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted September 22, 2023 And now the running rigging. This was a little frustrating as there were blocks that I had to remove and re tie but I got there in the end.

ccoyle Posted September 22, 2023 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2023 Very nice work, Geordy! Is the model completed, or is there still some work to be done?

Geordy Aidan Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share #8 Posted September 22, 2023 Thanks for your comment Chris. I think it is finished and have put it to one side for the moment. There are things like the covers for the mortar which I just lashed to the bulwarks. Where would they have been stored in action. I also did not rig any of the tackle for the carronades but did fit the breaching. AJohnson and ccoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcreekdad Posted December 26, 2023 Share #12 Posted December 26, 2023 Lovely build! I built this about 10 years ago. One of my favorites. Sadly, I gave it to my son and a buddy of his knocked it off a shelf. It's now in a bag waiting for me to fix, but I just haven't gotten the urge to do it.
