dgbot Posted February 3, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2015 Nice craft. How did you weather it? David B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhmtyrl Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted February 4, 2015 thanks David, I applied acrilic paint with brush, after it go dry I applied some light and medium sanding, heavy sanding to the corners etc. for the deck and sides firstly I sanded the pastel chalk sticks of dark brown and white, the dust was applied with a thin brush. mehmet Senior ole salt and IgorSky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega1234 Posted February 4, 2015 Share #4 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Hi Mehmet She's looking really good. Love the weathering technique you've used. How far away from being finishied is she; eg will she have a mast, or was driven by oars?

mhmtyrl Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted February 4, 2015 hi Patrick the vessel is mainly driven by sail, I will add 1 mast and attached spars and sails (most of them will be furled as I plan), also some cargo will be added on to the deck (sacks, boxes etc.) so it seems to be at the half of the way, a lot more work to do :-) mehmet dgbot, IgorSky and Omega1234 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhmtyrl Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted March 22, 2015 hi everybody here is the progress so far, sails are furled and attached to spars, I decided all sails to be furled so that rigging and deck details can be seen clearly mehmet Senior ole salt, Mfelinger, tadheus and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega1234 Posted March 22, 2015 Share #8 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Hi Mehmet Very, very nice! I especially like the furled sails, which immediately adds a point of difference from other models which have all their sails fully open. Well done.

Senior ole salt Posted November 23, 2015 Share #30 Posted November 23, 2015 Hi MehabaI, I'd like to hear more about the rig, like the sprit. It seems to be fixed. Once un brailed and the vangs eased,Is there enough slack in the lashings to permit the sprit and the sail to be eased out when sailing down wind ? Also can you tell me about the furled sails near the deck ? A curious sprit sail fan would like to know. Thanks SOS Omega1234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
