Omega1234 Posted November 1, 2015 Share #333 Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Dimitris I'm just catching up with your latest photos of the bowsprit with the gold decorations and figure head. The portholes look great as well. Really impressive work! As Nils has said above, the rigging's not far away. I'm looking forward to seeing the next phase. Cheers and all the best!

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted November 1, 2015 Share #338 Posted November 1, 2015 Thank you Nigel for your likes and for your kind comments.. I'm thinking of fixing the bowsprit in place first with all the chains, netting and blocks ( but i have to be very careful after that with my movements... Then the stanchions and hand rails under the bowsprit. I'm also thinking of leaving the life boats last so as to have more space when i am working at the masts and rigging.

Frank Hello Frank, I must admit that the kind words i receive from you and from the others in this build log are very very encouraging and keeps me going.. .The first time i was involved with models in general was the bluenose build (I had a chance to learn a lot working on that build. And still consider myself as a beginer) , and i loved it... But without you guys , i don't think that the ship building would have so much fun and joy. So.. I do thank you very much for your nice comments and likes. By the way my family has 300 hundred olive trees and we make olives and oil every year for all of us.. I'm crazy about olives especially olives kalamon (City of Kalamata, Pelloponnese). Just give me your address and I will be happy to send you some... :) Kind Regards Dimitris Edited November 3, 2015 by Dimitris71 thomaslambo, Omega1234 and riverboat 3 Quote Current Build: Amerigo Vespucci -Mantua- 1:100 scale Completed Build logs: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Gallery: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Future Build: Royal Caroline -Panart- 1:47 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donrobinson Posted November 4, 2015 Share #356 Posted November 4, 2015 Hi Dimitris, This is one of my favourite parts of a boat, how so many lines converge to the bowsprit.

Actually 300 hundred olive trees is relatively small number to have.. It's not enough to produce and sell our olives and oil. We have it for personal consumption since we are a typical big Greek family!!

donrobinson Posted November 5, 2015 Share #359 Posted November 5, 2015 Hi Dimitris; it is called a seizing, personally I like the contrasting colour, it makes it stand out more.
