Rich.F Posted February 23, 2017 Author #339 Posted February 23, 2017 Hey My friends, I just thought i would drop a few words, just so you know i have not sank to the bottom of the sea.. Work had ground to a stop of late, this is due to a large number of staffing issues, and my HUB, and been turned to to a playroom for the granddaughter.. Work has started, and now working on the Fore Mast. But need to do a bit of reading first.. so look out new updates coming soon. Cheers src 1 Rich.

ca.shipwright Posted February 24, 2017 #341 Posted February 24, 2017 Hello Rich, Just ran across your log and quite impressive it is. I have just started my Victory by Panart. for the third time; being unhappy with the results of the first 2 trials. I had the fantastic experience of spending 2 days aboard HMS Victory several years ago with 2 friends who were also building the model. It was a 4-day boys' night out trip to Portsmouth and the NMU in Greenwich where we actually held MR Steele's plans in our hands that the staff had pulled out for us. Those who like history always speak of a profound moment when observing something of significance. Mine came on the Victory when I realized that the serving vessel on which I stood was older then my country! Awesome! Good luck with the continuation of your build. Regards ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

Rich.F Posted February 27, 2017 Author #342 Posted February 27, 2017 Well, few days back on the build has been a good one.

django56 Posted March 1, 2017 #344 Posted March 1, 2017 wow very nice construction Rich, I'm building the victory as well, but when I look at yours, then I understand the difference between an amatuer (I) and a master (you) Rich.F 1
balsadustmaker Posted March 1, 2017 #345 Posted March 1, 2017 Not to worry django, I'm in the same boat as you (pun intended). I'm sometimes in awe of the craftsmanship that some of these builders possess. Hopefully I'll get there...👍 django56 1
Rich.F Posted March 7, 2017 Author #346 Posted March 7, 2017 Welcome Django, I am no where "master builder" this is my second build. I'm in no rush to finish. All I would like it it to look great and to the best I possibly could get. Sometimes redoing more than twice! ask question were you need to, Some time look a few steps beyond where you are, in case you need to do something different. django56 1 Rich.

Rich.F Posted March 7, 2017 Author #347 Posted March 7, 2017 Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. Wonder if anyone can help. I thinking ahead of the rigging... Now I have read people using serving machines. To bind rope together etc. I cant afford to buy one are the postage from the US is high, and cant find any in the UK. Does anyone know a way round or even to i need to do this? Rich. Builds in Progress: HMS Victory Completed Builds: Constucto Enterprise Future Builds 2021/2022 USS Constitution
src Posted March 9, 2017 #348 Posted March 9, 2017 Rich, you dont NEED to serve, but it does add a textural element to the rigging that is nice. Check Alexi Domanof in the list of dealers on the NRG page. I believe he is in Europe and I have heard good things about his ropewalk, I think it will serve also? EDIT I just looked, he offers a serving machine. Sam Rich.F 1 Current Build Constructo Enterprise

I think I do this right! THis is a 5 butt system Which on lower decks was often correct Note this missing plank at No 1.
