JRB9019 Posted April 28, 2016 #271 Posted April 28, 2016 Peter - Yes, I can now see what you mean with the sheets, Thanks for that. Nearly at the end for you. I've got to get back to my Pickle, but there is so much going on at present I only get to look at my shipyard and the pile of reference books for a minute or so before something else crops up! One day, one day - at least I'm getting my money's worth!!! John Quote John Current Build: H.M. Pickle by JRB9019 - JoTiKa - Scale 1:64 - Kit Build Log in progress

There is even a smaller third anchor but it's stowed below deck.). The anchor cable thread really was too bright. I dyed it with the same mixture of black and sage tea I use for the sails. Unfortunately it was only long enough to provide one anchor with it. The cable for the other one is stowed below deck and will be brought to the anchor when near land again. The anchors lie on the bulwark capping rail which carries the whole weight of 175kg (3,5 cwt) each. Therefore the two simple 0.25 mm threats should be able to hold one.

Martin W Posted April 28, 2016 #274 Posted April 28, 2016 Nice work, Peter. Your hold is going fill up pretty fast with those anchors, the grog for the crew you've worked so hard, and the delectably dried pease. Have you settled on Pickle's berthing spot?

flyer Posted April 29, 2016 Author #276 Posted April 29, 2016 Pickle finished It was a pleasure to build that schooner. The kit has a great potential and is generally of good quality. Although I do not fully agree with Caldercraft's interpretation of that rather sparsely documented historical vessel I am glad for the great opportunities that kit presents. While shooting those pictures I had again a fight with my camera. The previous one broke halfway through the build and the replacement from the same company (starts with C...) is hardly usable - even when the pictures are reworked. I'm considering a replacement from another company.

For me, I like to have a goal - and your Pickle has shown the standards that can be achived so thanks for that... I think we all look forward to your new build - once you've recovered from this one ....... I think a good bottle of something Swiss would be in order!! Pröschtli !!!!

flyer Posted July 5, 2016 Author #287 Posted July 5, 2016 Gentlemen, While checking that log I found several unanswered posts. Sorry. Thank you all for the compliments. Pickle really came out quite fine. She now has a fine berth in a book case in our bedroom - with the full support of the admiralty! I'm already struggling with my next project - Mamoli's America. This is on a quite different quality level but fun nevertheless.

Martin W Posted July 7, 2016 #288 Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Peter -- America? That's quite a new direction isn't it? No more 18th Century? Still, I'm glad to see you keeping at it, your builds and your commentaries are always a pleasure. Cheers, and let us know when you're starting the new build.

flyer Posted July 9, 2016 Author #289 Posted July 9, 2016 Hi Martin Between HMS Victory and Pickle were about 50 years. About the same age difference as between Pickle and America. While the first two follow approximately the same construction principles, the second two show a huge step forward in understanding hydrodynamics and hull forms. Fascinating. But America is still a schooner with that relatively simple rig which asks for full sails to be set. The build has already started - just follow the link on the bottom of my post. And I will most probably travel back in time again after America.

Why not post a message in the 'New Members Introduction' thread? That will draw attention to your project and allow you to get a few 'heads up' comments on your build.

flyer Posted January 5, 2021 Author #292 Posted January 5, 2021 Hi Pete Welcome to MSW. Pickle is a wonderful subject. The prototype is not really well documented, so you have a certain liberty how to finish the model. Bruce's suggestion is a good one. Don't forget to start a build log. That way you will get a lot of help and motivation to carry you on. Have fun!

Pete Collins (new to model ship world so hope this message is OK) Hi Pete, Welcome to MSW and to the Pickle Farm!! I've started Pickle quite a few years ago now and am only half-way through as life keeps getting in the way. Apart from plastic modelling that I did in my younger days, Pickle was the first model that I have done, especially anything like this real wood type of stuff. There are many far better modellers on here who simply blow me away with their skill levels. Just one example, you certainly won't go far wrong by studying Flyer's build that's for sure. Feel free to check my build log out - it's not quite as 'professional' as others but you may never the less get some hints and tips from it - even it it's 'how not to do things'!!! Good Pickling.

franzschmidb Posted October 25, 2023 #294 Posted October 25, 2023 hello flyer, thanks to your build log I have not started with the pickle kit yet. Indeed I am very grateful for your post. I also tried to find out what ship I am about to build. It seems calling it Pickle is quite risky. Please kindly read my comment in the forum of Modelshipworld "Wooden kits - HMS Pickle Caldercraft". It would be of great interest what you think about it. I would be very pleased to hear from you. best regards Franz (from Bavaria) Quote
