maggsl_01 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share #122 Posted January 22, 2016 Hello my freinds thank you all for your feedback. I decided not to attach any more sails at the stays. I tried to furl them - but that did not look any good. So the best will be to renounce any further sails. I like the look with the sails quite much - but I think next time (Fregatte Berlin) I will not work with sails. If you give so much attention to the yards and all the fixing of the yards to the masts then it is a pity to hide this work under the sails. Also the view to the deck is restricted. BTW - does anyone know from which time on the crawfeed were used? Thx alot my mates Cheerio Max RGL 1 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?

maggsl_01 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share #123 Posted January 30, 2016 Hello my friends yes - it is done. My interpretation of Mr Cooks famous Endeavour is ready. I finished the build, only a stand (ordered) and a hood will be necessary. But this is just a final moment. It is almost one year that I spent with the Occre kit. The building was always a fun to do although there were some tricky steps to take. Especially the instructions are something to criticize - and here indeed the instructions for rigging and the sails. They are too superficial and do not show the details for many things. Nevertheless - all at all I would recommend this kit with good conscience to a modeller with some expierence. You can improve the model with additional items like the buoys for the anchors, the covers for the windows or additional rigging like the backstays for the topgallants. Therefore it's good to take a look at the AOTS Endeavour. I will later take pics when the stand is done and create a gallery. The next time I will take a break until the next model will be on the desk. I am not sure if I start with the Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model orf the Fregatte Berlin by Corel. Well, let's see CU Cheerio Max Captain Slog, kiwiron, dgbot and 9 others 12 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?

maggsl_01 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share #128 Posted February 1, 2016 Hello my mates... thank you all for your kind words. I am not so happy with the sails and will probably not use sails anymore. But I wanted to try and see. Both I did, and now I can decide in a considered manner. As mentioned I am quite content with the kit. In every kit there are more or less things to improve - so the effort for this kit was average. I like to have real plans and drawings more than the photo-booklets as plans give more Information about size and shape. So you can better handle with improvements or changes. The book AOTS Endeavour by Mr Marquardt is an enormous treasure-box. The descriptions and drawings there gave me some inspiration on my way through the build. Nevertheless this model is just one Interpretation and I see so much stunning models and logs around. Every modeller has his own sight and his own Level to create a almost perfect model. I always compare my doing with the progress I see in other logs. It is so satisfying to learn from others and to give the own knowledge to others. I hope the parts for the stand will be delivered this week so I can complete the model and take some more pics (esp details) Best wishes to all my friends and followers Cheerio Max DenPink, Captain Slog, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?

maggsl_01 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share #131 Posted February 7, 2016 Hello again I have to do some additional updates... I did some very big mistakes... All sails rigging - clew garnet (?) is wrong. I always thought that something looks strange. But I did not recognize what. But yesterday I found out what was wrong. All the ropes have to be fixed on the backside of the sails not on the front. But I did all acording to the instructions. But the instructions are bad in view of rigging. They do not differ between front and back and they do not show exactly the Details. I can not leave this failure. So I redo all relevant rigging (I estimate about 20 to 25 hrs all in all) I will show some pice when I am through and then really finished Cheerio Max Captain Slog, DaveRow, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?

maggsl_01 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share #140 Posted February 11, 2016 Hi Ron, Steve thx so much for the further infos about the rigging of the sails. I change my rigging step by step - is not as difficult as I thought - just a lot of extra thread. But it goes really good. @Steve I like the thread you used for that rigging. Looks very realistic, esp that the ropes are not too much taut.

maggsl_01 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share #142 Posted February 17, 2016 Hello again my friends I have now at least finished the Endeavour. I have changed all the sails rigging according to AOTS and now am quite content with the result. Thank you all again for your Attention. I started this log (and the build) exactly one year ago. Now I will have a break before I begin with the Fregatte Berlin. But I will join the MSW regulary.

maggsl_01 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share #146 Posted February 18, 2016 Hi Ron, the instructions are not that bad - if you undertsand what is the frontside and what is the backside. But I missunderstood resp did not see the difference. Now this will never happen again as I now understood the system and the function of the sails rigging. But a newbie to sails... well... But life is always a ongoing learning so I could learn a lot... I am sure your Endeavour will turn into a proud and beautiful little ship Cheerio Max kiwiron 1 Quote Next: Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde by Euro Model 1:47 Finished: Half Moon Corel; HMY Royal Caroline Panart; HMB Endeavour Occre 1:54; Fregatte Berlin, Corel, 1:40 A life without dogs is possible... but worth to live?

Bill97 Posted May 30 Share #148 Posted May 30 Maggs I don’t know if you are still out there some 8 years later. If so I want to tell you just how beautiful your Endeauvor is. I have your build bookmarked as my go to for pictorial advice and inspiration. I am building the the OcCre model as well (Bill or Bill97 on MSW) and am at the point of making all the deck decorations. I am seriously thinking of saving all your photos to an easy access file for easy reference. Again beautiful job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
