challenger86 Posted January 14, 2014 #1 Posted January 14, 2014 Hello all, I've signed up a little late after I started my Schooner. I am into my build, about half way or so... This is my first build, so I'm only starting out. Here are some pics, starting with construction of the keel (around Nov 10,2013), all the way to where I'm at (last worked on Jan 9,2014), rigging...

challenger86 Posted January 21, 2014 Author #6 Posted January 21, 2014 Just a small update, I started with the 'rat lines' on the shrouds, a couple of days ago. Being at a scale 1:100, they are small, this will take a while. There was an old magazine I came across on looping the inner shroud, looks cool, however you lose detail being a little small.

challenger86 Posted February 11, 2014 Author #7 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Finished my first set of rat lines, given the scale of 1:100, it was small to work with, however I struggled through it.

challenger86 Posted February 28, 2014 Author #8 Posted February 28, 2014 I have completed the rat lines on the fore mast, now I'm onto the main mast, going to start on the rat lines this weekend. I'll post a pic of this progress soon. Current build: Duyfken Completed build: NS Mercedes Completed build: HMS Victory Completed build: Bluenose Schooner
challenger86 Posted March 3, 2014 Author #9 Posted March 3, 2014 Completed the rat lines on the main mast, I took a pic of it against my table with a shadow from the sun, thought it was neat to see the rat lines shadow on the table. hexnut, Dimitris71, Mfelinger and 1 other 4 Current build: Duyfken Completed build: NS Mercedes Completed build: HMS Victory Completed build: Bluenose Schooner

bhermann Posted November 18, 2014 #12 Posted November 18, 2014 Looking very nice, Robert. The sails have a realistic billow to them. Would you care to share your secret as to how you achieved that look?

challenger86 Posted November 19, 2014 Author #14 Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks guys. No real secret. Just made the bottom slightly a little longer so it would force that 'bow' look when attaching to the horizontal mast. I have 4 sails left, waiting for my order of rigging line, I ran out...
