Hello

time to start build log of the HMB Endeavour by Caldercraft.

I am planning to make her as detailed as I can, using all source of information i can find. For now I have only Anatomy of the Ship that should be good start.

Quality of parts is very good, but blocks i will change for aftermarket one

Hi

works slowly progressing. First planking is completed but in this episod i want to show You deck and the way i choose to make tree nails effect.

 

first, photos of final effect

to achieve this I choose very simple method that could be describe in 3 steps

1. make a hole

2. take a wax for wood repairing

3. scrape excess wax, it comes off very easily

 

before and after I covered the deck with clear varnish

I know, tree nails should be in wood color but for artistic reasons I chose darker for contrast.

 

thats all for today, till the next time :)

Hi

next step finished, secund planking is ready.

big mistake, i used ca glue sometimes in points just not to hold plank till pva sets an i have some marks :(, I thought it will disappear when varnish will be applied but it's still visible. I don't worry to much, bottom will be painted, upper part partially too, then some addins will cover come of remaining :)

 

i didn't have enough of pear wood so bottom is striped ;) it will be painted, no worry ;)

Hello,

Let me introduce my small fleet, soon to be stationed on the deck of my HMB Endeavour (1/64). Each model was designed by me based on the plans from Anatomy of the Ship, and then brought to life using a 3D printer. It's been a rewarding process combining historical research with modern technology, and I’m happy to share the results as the build progresses!

Below, I’ll walk you through the steps of the process — from the initial drawings to the finished miniature models.

1. To begin, I used scanned ship plans and imported them into a CAD program for 3D graphics. Based on these references, I created digital models of the boats, replicating their proportions and details.

2. To make the printing and post-processing easier, I designed the 3D model with a modular structure — dividing it into separate parts. This approach not only improves print quality by optimizing the orientation of each piece, but also simplifies sanding, painting, and final assembly. 

In the photo below, you can see the printed parts before any proccesing

3. Time for post-processing: this stage includes removing supports, sanding the surfaces, applying primer, and finally painting

and here is the finished product
