Trussben Posted February 16, 2013 Author #10 Posted February 16, 2013 Quite a bit of work done in next pics, floors added, rear cockpit, siderails, thawarts. Hull marked off and painted white. Windlass made and installed. Mast hoop metal work and belaying pins installed and painted black. fnkershner 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Trussben Posted February 16, 2013 Author #11 Posted February 16, 2013 Oarlocks and Horse added, using supplied wire from kit, oarlocks will be painted red to match. Friezes were added, I had to resize them down to 88% of original to get the sizing to fit, then I sprayed them with artists fixative to stop it from fading, then I used rubber cement on both surfaces to glue them on. Final pic shows it next to her big sister ( USF Confederacy ), for which I will have to build 2 slightly smaller ( 3/16" scale ) ships boats. This marks an end to all the old pics up to now, I am currently building and painting all of the mast and spars and their associated metal work, more pics to follow with comments always welcome. ben fnkershner 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

lb0190 Posted February 23, 2013 #16 Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Ben, Your Longboat looks great! I have the kit and can hardly wait to start working on it, but it will be after I complete my current build. Can you tell me what media you printed your friezes on what you thought about the results. The photos show excellent results. I've seen advertisments for inkljet friendly decal material but I've never tried it before.

Trussben Posted February 23, 2013 Author #17 Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Larry and thanks for the comments. I reprinted the Friezes on standard weight copier paper and then added a fixative ( Wife's hairspray laquer ) to try and prevent it from aging to badly, mine came out nicely I think, just remember you may have to resize them to fit your hull better ( 88% for me ). ben Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted March 11, 2013 Author #22 Posted March 11, 2013 Now how did my Longboat log get on this Club build page? Chuck?? I have stepped the mast and im working on the rigging now, some pics this week. Now I have to decide how Im going to display her. ben Chuck 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

Ryland Craze Posted March 11, 2013 #23 Posted March 11, 2013 Ben, I cannot wait to see pictures of your Longboat with the mast stepped and rigged. Chuck moved all of the Longboat build logs into the Club Build log Forum and renamed it MSW Group Build of an 18th Century Longboat. This way all of the Longboat Build Logs will be in the same Forum.

Chuck Posted March 11, 2013 #24 Posted March 11, 2013 Guilty as charged...this way if anyone is looking for a longboat build they are all in one place. Cant wait to see her all rigged up.

st george Posted March 11, 2013 #25 Posted March 11, 2013 What a great kit and well built Ben. Thanks for reposting. David Quote David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat
Trussben Posted March 20, 2013 Author #26 Posted March 20, 2013 A Few Updates, First as you can see the mast was constructed and the Iron work made as per the instructions, blocks added and then it was stepped a tiny amount aft, about 5 degrees, I prefer the look. Then the main boom was made and a tiny piece of wire was used as the hook on the end to go into mast reciever, I then rigged it up and installed it, with the block on the horse which shall go under my rudder as per Chucks original design. Then the Gaff Boom was made and rigged, I left the parrells brass instead of painting them as I wanted the contrast and them to be noticeable. Started making the chainplates/deadeyes and here you can see the starboard side have been added. I really must start thinking how I am going to mount her, pedastals or cradle. ben fnkershner and Ryland Craze 2 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

fnkershner Posted February 14, 2014 #28 Posted February 14, 2014 Ben - I know its been awhile since you finished this project. But can you tell me how you decided to mount her? Also did you replace any of the wood with wood from Jeff?

Trussben Posted February 14, 2014 Author #29 Posted February 14, 2014 Hi Floyd, I didn't replace any wood, managed to get a pretty good result with the basswood. As for the mounting I made a cradle out of basswood, I'm afraid I don't have any pictures to show as it's with it's new owner. Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.
