Pat, that ironwork is excellent, you've moved into the teaching band now, even if the learning never ceases

[mikec]

Pat, that looks real. that is inspirational.

[BANYAN]

Hi folks, another update.

 

John - you won  - many thanks for the head's-up.    I decided to do some of the running rigging for sails.  I have finished the mizzen, and only a couple t go on the main topsail; then onto the foremast.

 

The quarter badge window shutters have also been fitted now - hopefully I do not bump them .

 

cheers

Wet sail to the finish line now

[BANYAN]

Slowly coming together - these are the latest progress photos.  Apart from 2 bunt lines to do on the foremast topsail yard, I have many (NO - very many) coils to make up and place, add the Ensign (waiting for it to arrive), finish the spare yards, 2 x mast tackles (showing them in use), add some boat details (oars etc), make the skiff and yawl and lastly - enjoy   

cheers

Certainly very enjoyable looking at your fine ship, Pat! It's almost too beautiful to sail!

Well done.

Fantastic job. I am totally entranced with your stand. Is that a map of the world from the Endeavour years?

[popeye the sailor]

she looks awesome Pat.....{I like the stand too}      the added running rigging is a treat......how you've tied off some of the pendant blocks,  so they can be easily retrieved,  when setting the sails,  is a nice touch of realism.   she's a sweet model........very well done

Just catching up after being away for a while, Pat.  She's really looking the goods, mate!

Thanks for all the likes and comments guys - much appreciated.

 

c.a. - yep, that is a copy of the original chart of the East Coast of Australia as charted by Cook on his voyage of discovery.

 

Denis - thanks for noticing the blocks etc  

 

John - welcome back - i was wondering where you had gone as  hadn't seen a post for a while (was about to PM you )

 

Keith, Russ and Dave - thanks for looking in and the encouraging comments (see you at the next meeting Keith?)

 

cheers

 

Pat

[BANYAN]

Thanks mate - just taken a long time getting there

[RGL]

You suddenly will hit that point and go, bugger, I'm finished, what now!

[donrobinson]

Beautiful looking ship, nice work

[BANYAN]

Thanks for looking in and commenting Greg and Don - rapidly approaching that point Greg  But, I do need to add the rope coils and two further rigging lines as a minimum - and as I have ordered the Ensign, at least that also.  The other two boats - I am debating these

 

cheers

 

Pat

[BANYAN]

Hi folks,

 

Another small update, and very near complete now.  Could add a bit more - but as Greg pointed out - need to move on sooner or later.

 

Still to go:  2 x boats, boat oars (started - see picture), some more rope coils and the commissioning pennant.

 

cheers

Looking good, Pat.  I can't wait to see her with the final details completed.

 

John

[Blue Ensign]

Our discussions regarding pennants has led me here Pat, don't know how I missed this one but what a treat to read your log, and what a fine model you have created.

 

Your Ensigns look good to my eye, nice work.  

 

 

B.E.

[popeye the sailor]

she's a beautiful ship Pat.   you've added so much into her.........it's a safe bet,  you're within sight of the finish line  

[ca.shipwright]

Beautifully done. I hope mine comes out half as well.

 

Regards

[BANYAN]

Thanks for looking in and all the likes and comments folks; I very much appreciate the feedback.

 

B.E.  Easily done mate, especially noting the many fine logs in this forum; I have missed many and bet there are still a few logs going that I would appreciate following - but there is only a finite amount of time in the day

 

John, Popeye -  That finish line is so close I can small the champers

 

C.A - I am sure it will mate - perseverance is the name of the game (only 13 years for mine )

 

cheers

 

Pat

[RGL]

I'm happy with that

[BANYAN]

Thanks Greg

[DaveRow]

A very fine Endeavour build Pat.

[BANYAN]

Thanks Dave

[RGL]

Are you putting it in a glass box?

[BANYAN]

Not a glass one greg, but an acrylic with wood base which is ready to go - I'll post a piccy in a couple of days.  Just finishing the boat's oars and fitting the Common (tricolour) pennant and she will be ready for display.

 

cheers

what we call it in the states is plexi-glass........is that what you've got?  weighs less too
