Elia Posted December 5, 2014 #33 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Matija, That is some wonderful work. From the served standing rigging to the spars and ironwork, i love it all. I really lkke the scale of the rigging/block ironwork on the main boom and others in the photos. I see your main mast chainplates are routed through the monkey rail and not on its outer side. My Arethusa has that same feature - just a little detail requiring some planning. Cheers, Elia Edited December 5, 2014 by Elia Quote Elia Rose Valley, PA Arethusa: 1907 Gloucester Knockabout
Mfelinger Posted December 6, 2014 Author #34 Posted December 6, 2014 Elia, thanks to your likes. When I compare your Schooner Arethusa, the more I like your way of working. Your work is neat and correct, I would love to be achieved, am a bit jealous. According to what I seen, Schooner were similar in the making of certain parts. In preparing I used the excellent book: The American Fishing Schooners: 1825-1935 By Howard Chapelle. If there is any detail or information regarding the model, I am available.

Elia Posted December 8, 2014 #38 Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Matija, More beautiful work! I like the brailles on the main and fore gaffs, along with all of that rigging. Nice. A great looking model. I too refer to Howard Chapelle's AFS, a great reference and resource for these fishermen.

Elia Posted December 9, 2014 #40 Posted December 9, 2014 Matija, Super stuff! The dories really catch my eye. I'm working on my first one now. I'm not sure how I'll get 10 to 12 made. Yours look great, and I really like those stacked dories! The overall shots show how it comes together - a real beauty of a fisherman (racer Quote Elia Rose Valley, PA Arethusa: 1907 Gloucester Knockabout
Mfelinger Posted December 9, 2014 Author #41 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks Elia, I'm glad that you like my work (and to everyone else who likes). Dories were difficult to make, I made them a total of twenty until I got a satisfactory appearance. Bluenose is currently displayed at the national competition ship modelers in Rijeka / Croatia. It is located in the city center in the window: Otherwise, waiting for a new owner from Germany come get her. The future owner has prepared a large glass box (approximately L120x W30 xH110 cm).

Mfelinger Posted December 20, 2014 Author #56 Posted December 20, 2014 Rick, I'm glad that you like my Bluenose. Dories is made on a wooden mold and I glue wooden Planks. After that I glued frames inside. Here are some photos. If you need more description, just ask. I have a good draft of Dory that can give way if you need. also I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Yambo Posted February 19, 2015 #59 Posted February 19, 2015 Beautiful build Matija! I have a question . . . What paint did you use for below the waterline please, and where did you get it? Here in Turkey I have ongoing problems sourcing things like paint of the right colours. Sometimes I find them in the UK or Germany but they won't send them here and sometimes I see in Turkey what will may be OK but their payment methods are 19th century and I have to find a friend with a particular type of credit card. It's an on-going nuisance. I think I have solved my earlier problems with wood as I have found suppliers in Istanbul and Germany so things are improving, but slowly. Thanks. Mfelinger 1 Quote If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
michael mott Posted February 19, 2015 #60 Posted February 19, 2015 Matija, I just went through all the build again, beautiful work.
