bibounde Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share #31 Posted November 13, 2014 I usually clean up those ragged edge bits with the tip of a #11 knife blade. Thank you for this advice. I will try tonight.

bibounde Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share #32 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) A little update today. I started to drill the eyelets holes (with a drill bit which is 0,1mm diameter larger than that of the eyelets -akka- 0,6mm). I need to insert 66 eyelets ( ), but the kit provides only 50. So I have needed to order further eyelets (through the Historische Modelbouw website : http://www.historische-modelbouw.nl/?a=view-item&id=769). I am not fluent in Dutch but I received the eyelets today (thx). My Lady Nelson becomes an international kit .

bibounde Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share #33 Posted January 5, 2015 Happy New Year Everyone, I can say: hull and deck almost done. I fixed the 66 eyelets, added the bowsprit support (with some fixes because it was too high - the front of the bowsprit was under the water line), and varnished the hull and the deck (flat matt). I started the installation of guns and the anchors, taking into consideration the pictures of the kit box instead of the plan instructions (following them, the anchors would have hampered the swivel guns). From plan instructions From box pictures (my choice) You can see that I lost all the swivel guns. Not a good idea to put them befoare finishing the deck: my hands was too wide . I think that I will fix them after the rigging operation.

bibounde Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share #36 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi there, I had to let my Lady Nelson during one month, but I'm back to work with pleasure. I tapered and shaped the first part of the main mast and because I haven't any lathe, I did it with sanding paper. tkay11, AntonyUK, egkb and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build - Panderma Ferry Completed Build - Lady Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibounde Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share #39 Posted February 26, 2015 Arrgh, I was almost at the goal! To calm my nerves, I tied the last 3 guns. After that I went back into top mast creation. Now I have one question: in the Lady Nelson prototype, it seems that the part framed in red in the picture (I don't know how to name it) must be paint in black. But the plan instructions do not mention this operation. Is there a specific rule for victory models ? What do you think ?

bibounde Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share #42 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Hello, Finally, I found the answer of my question in the topic named "Mast colours". So I painted the mast cap like this: After that, I created my first block (hurra). I used a permanent marker in order to paint the thread black. The topic named "Attaching blocks and other rigging to masts and spars" was very helpful (and especially the video of Bender). Regards.

Ray Posted March 5, 2015 Share #46 Posted March 5, 2015 They must have changed the guns when I built my Lady Nelson the guns were brass and wooden build up trucks, sounds like plastic guns are a step backwards in quality ???.

bibounde Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share #52 Posted June 3, 2015 Hello everyone, As usual, I made a big break (lot of work, new baby room preparation, and other stuffs). Last days I focused on "masting" and rigging. Mouse OK Main and middle yards OK Rudder OK "The end is coming" ! Even if I did not finish the Lady Nelson yet, I have already looking at my next project: I'm trying to decide between the "Panderma Ferry from Turkmodel" (which I already booked and received) and the "Hermione from Artesania Latina". egkb, Waister and GuntherMT 3 Quote Current Build - Panderma Ferry Completed Build - Lady Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibounde Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share #56 Posted June 13, 2015 So here we are ! I have to change my signature: Current Build Completed build : Lady Nelson. Finally I put the last 2 booms and placed the ship on the pedestal (I drilled 4mm holes at the bottom of the keel in order to place the screws). Because the ship building duration took 3 years, I had to wash the pedestals with a "Pierre Blanche" (it's a french solution, but I don't know how to say it in english).

tkay11 Posted June 13, 2015 Share #59 Posted June 13, 2015 What a great sense of satisfaction and pride you must have! I've often wondered if at the end of a build there's also a sense of anti-climax, as though you can't quite believe it's all over.
