challenger86 Posted January 14, 2014 Share #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 Share #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 Share #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 Share #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.

challenger86 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share #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.

bhermann Posted November 18, 2014 Share #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 Share #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...

challenger86 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share #18 Posted December 16, 2014 Next on the agenda for my Schooner, I'll build her a nice display case, mount that on my wall. Maybe put some little led lights in there to enhance it.
