Thanks Sjors - I enjoyed the build and learning process but glad I can put her to bed and simply 'look at her' as you say

That looks fantastic.  It must be bitter sweet after working on her for so long.   That is a fine looking model.

[BANYAN]

Many thanks zoly and Chuck; very much appreciate your comments.

 

Chuck:  you have paraphrased my feelings very well - there are still times I feel I want to take her out and redo/add something extra.

[Old Collingwood]

WOW  - Now she looks a beauty  you have done a marvelous job there  :)

[BANYAN]

Thanks OC, appreciate you looking in and the kind words.

Pat,

Is the Endeavour a one off? Or, is there another build in the pipeline to which we can look for?

 

Regards

[rowand]

Really well done Pat!! That's a great model and beautiful job. 

 

Cheers,

[BANYAN]

Thanks again Rowan and c.a.

 

Not a one-off c.a. - see earlier posts ( and previous page)

Outstanding model Pat! I've been away too long and come back to see her finished. Sorry I couldn't congratulate you sooner. I'll be looking forward to your next build!

[BANYAN]

Thanks for looking in Glenn, no matter when  I very much appreciate your comments which mean a lot to me.

Hi again folks; hope you all had a happy and safe festive season.

 

I have made a start on the two remaining boats to complete my build; the yawl and the skiff.  I am doing these part-time between the yard chores and HMCSS Victoria.

 

First, I would like to thanks DaveRow who has kindly designed the laser templates and cut the boat templates for his build but provided me with a spare set; many thanks Dave.  These are great, and make assembly a lot easier.  The template is 0.6mm thick so the keel is a lamination of 4 layers which creates a natural rabbet.  The rudder and transom piece are 2 x lamination but the remainder of the pieces will be single.  I don't think I would have achieved this level of detail without the template.  i will stage a ruler in my next set of shots to give a better idea of scale.

 

cheers

So much easier than the grease proof paper I used to trace the things to make my templates!!

[popeye the sailor]

the mini kit looks cool!  I like the laser cuts within the parts..........it will make it easier to remove the inner areas after the boat is planked.

[BANYAN]

Much easier Greg  

 

Denis, the idea/concept was developed by Chuck who does this with his small boat series; Dave has just adapted it a little to serve his needs (and the lucky soul has access to a laser cutter)

 

Thanks for all who looked in and gave a 'like"

 

cheers

A small update, the frames/temp bulkheads have now been fitted in a basic jig.  The longitudinal temp stiffener has yet to be glued and will be done after I straighten a couple of the frames.  The eagle eyed will note a couple of frames not quite aligned; some of this is due to camera angle.  Gluing in the longitudinal stiffener will help keep them in place vertically, but first I need to fix/redo at least one of the frames.

 

This system works quite well and was well laid out by Dave when he did the artwork as I did not need to do much filing for fit at all.  The holes in the temp bulkhead (which will be broken away later) were for a toothpick to pass through to assist with alignment, but at this scale almost impossible to utilise and too fiddly.  Sorry all, I forgot the ruler again but this is only about 80mm long (just over 3") overall.

 

cheers

Hi Pat, sorry I have been offline for months now. Congratulations on a magnifecent build, she looks amazing!

I haven't been able to work on my boat for months, but you have inspired me again.

What is your next project going to be?

[BANYAN]

Hi Mike, missed you and welcome back mate.

 

Onto the club build of HMCSS Victoria (see scratch build logs); some progress made but a lot of research still to do.

 

cheers

[BANYAN]

Thanks Nils.  While the ship is complete, i still have two small boats to do which are now underway)

 

cheers

[Old Collingwood]

Looking Great my friend

[BANYAN]

Thanks OC

[Sjors]

Nice jigsaw puzzle   

 

Good luck with the planking !

 

Sjors

[BANYAN]

No progress on the boats as I have been concentrating on researching and building HMCSS Victoria.

Just thought I would let folk know that my Endeavour is to be used as a film prop in a forthcoming movie being shot in Melbourne - I can't release details but it will feature prominently at the end of the movie and while the credits roll.  A nice little 'return' for all the hours spent.  

So off to the shoot today.

cheers

Pat

[popeye the sailor]

the movie is about the ship?    a fitting tribute to your fine workmanship!

[BANYAN]

Unfortunately, I can't say too much due to "Disclosure Limitations" Denis.  The movie is fiction and very loosely connected the ship.  They needed a model for the final scene and I had the only model available - so not about the model

cheers

Congratulations Pat

Michael

[RGL]

Sweet, you're famous

[mtaylor]

Congratulations Pat.  You've made the big leagues as very few modelers ever get a model into a film.  

[BANYAN]

Well folks I have found this online so I believe I can say which movie it will be part of
