Knocklouder Posted September 11 Author Share #62 Posted September 11 (edited) Today I received my carriages, had to make a bit of an alteration , a quick nip at the top and the all looked the same. The Admiral figure is fantastic. I have to figure out what to call the little fellow. But I like him. Pile is a bit more Irish, he was going to join the Navy once, but they told him he would have to cut his hair and shave. He laughed for 6 weeks after that request. Goober got a job in the parts department, and Pile now has to order though him lol. Started making the masts, but I am done for the night so, I put it all away on the mast board and shelf it. I may go figure painting though, the new Adrmrial wants to look the part. Just waiting for a few things to arrive. And I have to replace two rope coils, I found them to large, so redoing them. Thanks everyone, today special thanks go's to @Glenn-UK his posting (check out his log , it is fantastic) on how he made his masts just click the switch on for me. Thanks for posting my friend. All though I don't have a leath , I can putty and fix things pretty good. Lol. Another happy MSW/NRG member. ok on to the mast, there is a whole lot of details here, more fun Bob M.

Someday I'll build a Vanguard model...they look so nice!! hamilton Yes you do, they are fantastic . And if you only get the chance to build one, get the biggest one he has lol. I put together the Foremast, don't shake the table nothing is glued. Took the picture, then put it all away. As PFCGP, has said we have two cannons to rig, let's get to it Shell we. So on to rigging the last two cannons, plus a lot more sanding coming up with the masts. Pile is getting uppity about how much time I am spending painting figures. Now he hears there is plans for a ferris wheel, in his Irish accent he said Hack, man did Don Keith Oaty kick you in the head, you don't kin what your doing. Pay attention to the task at hand. Lol. Yeah I know, back to the shipyard, oh wait I never left lol. Good bye. Bob M. And the crew.

Knocklouder Posted September 12 Author Share #66 Posted September 12 Cannons Pile says Cannons, now if you please, the Royal Gaurd, An Admiral, a Comander, a lieutenant , and two crew. All painted this morning, Army Speed paint, I really like this stuff. A bit of thouch ups because of shakey painter syndrome lol, but they will be fine. My Speed paint shop department, and the crew. All that is missing is the Duchess herself, but I am working on it. Wow Pile is impatient for Cannons, I better go "getter"done.

Knocklouder Posted September 15 Author Share #68 Posted September 15 (edited) Well the cannons are finally done. The Admiral gave it the once over ,and said they were exceptable. Time to rig the last two cannons and install them. Now that all the cannons are finished, I thought it would be a good idea to go back over the instructions and see what I missed or left till later. As it turn out, I was missing some small cleats the windlass Pawls and several eyebolts, plus the rope for the ship's bell. I installed everything but the bell rope With that I am now making the masts , and starting to serve some lines for the shrouds. Serving will definitely take some time to get it right , but I got all the time in the world to learn. But now PFC Gnomer Pile and his cousin Goober are taking the Duchess for a little trip, they told me to take some time off and see you when we get back.lol.forced time off lol. Thanks everyone for following along, I really enjoy MSW/NRG, Here are the two bandits, sailing away with my ship,as Pile screams out, Hey you forgot the nails in the mid deck windows, do them when we get back. So I will be back soon enough my freinds, so long for now . A most greatful shipmate Bob M. .

Knocklouder Posted Monday at 09:00 PM Author Share #72 Posted Monday at 09:00 PM (edited) Hey, Hey, Hey look what this: it's my New Duchess of Kingston, She is not painted yet, also she not here yet lol. My good and talented friend @Gabek has this waiting for me to pick up. She even looks like she given the Adrmrial the look. Lol I got something for him as well, but we will h0ave to wait. Ya the big old Covid truck parked it's self here at the shipyard the whole crew got it. Goober is shutting things down, Pile is way to sick to continue .. They had a great time sailing, said it's eazy when you have Gnomer Pile finger power. Lol. So I did a little more stepping of the masts, just a bit, but going to have to shut it down again. Oh well give me more time to look around for rigging info. There is just so much to learn, what a fantastic hobby. And what better place to be then MSW. Thanks everyone ☺️ Bob M. ANd crew . .. And today's special thanks 😊 🙏 ☺️ 😘 @Gabek for his fantastic figure lol. Of the Duchess. Stay safe my freinds see you soon.!!! Sorry the last to pictures I wasn't going to post but it did anyway , But I know how it happened so I shouldn't do it again sorry.

Keith Black Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Share #74 Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Bob, the Duchess is really coming along nicely. So sorry to hear you and the crew are sick with Covid. Isn't this the second time for you folks? I think Goober and Pile brought it home after a night on the town shore leave.
