Shipyard sid Posted November 20, 2013 #188 Posted November 20, 2013 Greetings derek Well done, you have been busy. You have caught me up , and yes there's no doubt you need a turntable now. With this rigging lark you have to move the ship around a lot now. I knocked the end of the bowsprit off last night, and you cannot afford to be doing it when you have the rigging thread fitted. Yep you are moving on nicely, keep it going. DAVID
Shipyard sid Posted November 24, 2013 #189 Posted November 24, 2013 Hello derek It looks like you have been very busy over the last week or so. Loads of rigging on, and it looks like you are more or less at the same stage as me. You definitely need a lazy Susan now, and in reality a lot earlier. Yes things look very good, well done. Keep up the good work and enjoy it. DAVID
Shipyard sid Posted December 3, 2013 #190 Posted December 3, 2013 Hello derek You are flying along. Well done on all your rigging. It looks like you are really enjoying yourself now, after your grumbling about all the knots. I still have not done that ratline I chopped off on the mizzen, I am far happier doing this. I only have those two hangy down blocks on the spritsail yard to do and I have caught you up again. Once again well done derek .. Regards DAVID

Shipyard sid Posted January 9, 2014 #192 Posted January 9, 2014 Greetings Derek Well done with your repair work. I think damaging the bowsprit happens to a lot of us as do the boomkins. So beware anybody thinking of fitting your boomkins and bowsprits to early. ( I will mention no names) I see you have one of your yards ready to fit so the best of look with them . Do you want any netting for the hammock things ? I can send you some. DAVID

gjdale Posted January 10, 2014 #194 Posted January 10, 2014 Hi Derek, I've been quietly following your progress for some time but haven't left a comment before. Please allow me to rectify that right now! You're doing a terric job on this build. You have my absolute heartfelt sympathy on your bowsprit mishap. I recently had a similar mishap with my Fore a topgallant mast. And I've knocked the bowsprit so many times I'm surprised it hasn't snapped on at least a haf dozen occasions! Still, as you've just discovered, these mishaps do set us back a little, and most certainly expand the vocabulary of those within earshot at the time, but they are repairable. Keep up the great work. riverboat 1 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout
Glenn-UK Posted January 13, 2014 #195 Posted January 13, 2014 Hello Derek I have been looking through your build, well done so far, I will continue to look through your build as I progress on with my build. I'm at the start of my build and noted on the first page of your log you fitted battens to the lower gun ports on the back of the strips, but these seem to be below the gun port opening is there ant reason for this? I'm about to start fitting battens around my gun port lids prior to assembly of the gun port strips (270, 271 and 272) and would have thought the would battens fit flush with the gun port opening. Glenn Glenn (UK)
Shipyard sid Posted January 19, 2014 #196 Posted January 19, 2014 Hello derek Well things are coming on well now, and what a difference the yards make. Yep it's looking fine. Just keep up the good work. And as for your grandson giving you three of those cups and not just one for a present, he's obviously seen your bowsprit and is playing safe. I am surprised he never bought you rubber ones. DAVID CaptainSteve 1
gjdale Posted January 19, 2014 #197 Posted January 19, 2014 Of course you use them Derek - otherwise your grandson will think you don't like them! Sorry to hear of the oops with bowsprit again. The further we go with the rigging, the more careful it seems we need to be. Nearly poked my eye out on the fore yard today - thank goodness for the Optivisor, which saved me (several times). riverboat 1 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout
