shipaholic Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share #516 Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) A diversion from the rigging this week, made and fitted the stern window shutters. I made them with a window shaped raised bit that fits snugly inside the widow frames when closed, they stayed in place when just sat in position , then I made hinges. Also fitted the rudder pendants.

shipaholic Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share #519 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Today I finished fitting the blocks and attaching the crossjack yard to the mizzen mast. Yard is attached to mast using a sling-parrel, then slings through a large single block on the yard. Also changed the parrel on the gaff. Found some nice 5mm wooden balls in a local craft shop, applied some wood stain/lacquer and they look fine. I noticed that the HMB Endeavour replica uses one double block for the mizzen topsail sheet sheet lead. I have stayed with two single blocks.

Sabranne28 Posted March 10, 2020 Share #520 Posted March 10, 2020 Hi, I am following your build log which is very informative and beautiful work. I noticed the quarter badges and the windlass with the heads are not of the kit. What is the thickness of the wood for the two items.

Many thanks, Sab Hi Sab The windlass heads are the ones that came with the kit, they are cast metal. The quarter badges are ones I made and carved myself using 4mm thick boxwood. There are many parts that I have made myself, such as metal parts and a lot of the rope that I made myself using a rope walk. Also there are many parts I have purchased separately such as blocks, some ropes, cannon barrels, lantern, helm etc. Most of the wood used is what came with the kit except for a few items made with wood I have purchased or left over from previous builds Quote Current Build: HMB Endeavour 1:51 (Eaglemoss part work)Previous Builds: USS Constitution (Revell plastic) HMS Victory 1:96 (Corel) HMB Endeavour 1:60 (AL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipaholic Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share #522 Posted March 28, 2020 Fitting the topsail tye blocks today. I realised that I should have put them on before installing the topgallant masts because they go over the mast head like the shrouds. No problem I just pushed the caps up, lucky I didn't use much glue on them.

missymay Posted April 4, 2020 Share #523 Posted April 4, 2020 wow @shipaholic that looks amazing. My dad has given me the mid section (issues 100 upwards from memory) to build myself, so whilst we are in isolation due to COVID-19 i can finally make a start on it. I was wondering if you still had the magazines from 20 upwards? My dad put all his in storage and a few (5-10 issues i cant remember which ones exactly I've gotten them written down somewhere ?!) have been damaged and for the last 4 years we have been trying to find a copy of them so we could get someone to send us photos/scans what ever suited the person. I was wondering if you did have them would you be happy to contact me and send me the building plans so my dad could finish his model. He has all the parts for them still just not the magazines. We have contacted eagle moss several times and they claim they do not have electronic copies or issues or even physical copies anymore so unfortunately not an option. I hope to hear from you soon.

shipaholic Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share #534 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Arrangement of the main course sheets. I did a bit of research to work out the best way to do the main course sheets. Because I have arranged the rails as depicted on the original 1768 draughts there are no bitts under the quarter deck rails. I looked at pictures of a few different Endeavour models in museums, both with and without those bitts and also checked qite a few reference books for how the sheets are set up. This is how I have set it up, I added a cleat to the bulwark and a block attached to the rail stanchion. Instead of hitching the standing part of the sheet to an eyebolt just forward of the mizzen channel, I hitched it to the fore mizzen chain to get it out from the hull a bit so the sheet line doesn't foul with the main shrouds so much when raised.

shipaholic Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share #536 Posted January 11, 2021 Most of the running rigging completed, still need the bunt lines, leech lines and bowlines.

Schubbe Posted November 7, 2021 Share #538 Posted November 7, 2021 On 7/28/2013 at 3:03 AM, shipaholic said: I still have lots of pics taken during my planking effort if you want me to post them let me know. But agin I didn't follow the instructions entirely because I fitted the planks on the sides above the main wales so that they curved like the planks on a real ship which made the task a bit more difficult. I would really like to see those! I am now at a point in my build, where I am almost avoiding to begin the second planking. I might be frightened by my own standards and goals in that matter... It would be nice, if you would like to share your approach.

shipaholic Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share #539 Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Okay Schubbe here are some more pics. The planks are thin and dont like the upward curvature, they tend to want to kink so lots of clamping to keep them flat whilst the glue sets. I used PVA with a spot of CA every 30 cm. Also here are pics of the transom I made instead of using the supplied one and how it should be at the side of the stern, so that the decorations sit properly. I later modified it a bit above the figurine Edited November 9, 2021 by shipaholic more pics EricWilliamMarshall, SIDEWAYS SAM and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Current Build: HMB Endeavour 1:51 (Eaglemoss part work)Previous Builds: USS Constitution (Revell plastic) HMS Victory 1:96 (Corel) HMB Endeavour 1:60 (AL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
