I had plans to put this ship into sea panorama.
Unfortunately due to some changes in my life ( my missus is being relocated due to her job) i had to cancel sea scrape project.
I have no space to keep this ship so it will be passed to Currier and shipped to my parents house, were it will remain.
I will take a few shots of her final place and position once it gets there.
Finally done.
Rigging does not go well with plastic yards and spars.
Plastic is to weak to hold minimum amount of tension. It is either plastic bends or ropes wont be straight.
And if ropes wont go straight then they will go every were but down making it look unnatural.
Another lesson learned. In a future i will consider other methods how to make yards,spars and ropes play nice together.
It has been a long journey. Lots mistakes made, lots exp gained, and i'm sure with future builds i will only go better.
The bottom line is: I'm happy and proud with my achievement.
It's been a while since my last update. I have been busy doing other stuff and had little to no time for my Victory.
But i still managed to find some time and i did some work on my Ship.
Since last update, i finished first half of my build, and started work on rigging.
Now this rigging thing: I'm finding it complicated enough and slow. I've done some mistakes already and I'm sure more mistakes will follow, but despite that I'm happy.
This is my first model and im happy with the outcome even with plenty mistakes.
I'm learning more and more every day :)
Unfortunately some things came up and i had to pause my build until future notice.
Hope to resume my work some time 2010.
Finally long awaited holiday is here.
I'm off for 3 weeks.
Last week i done some work on decks. Fitted dead eyes and channels aswell.
There will be no major update now until after holiday.
It's been a while now since my last update. I was busy working on top decks stern and bow sections. I updated more pics.
I recently bought 2 books to help me do the tasks that awaits me. Rigging.
Im planing to stop work on my ship some time this week and will study rigging books. i have holiday coming in 3 weeks.
After holiday i hope to start working on my ship again and as always will provide with more pics and updates.
Last week spend some time painting Bow and middle deck.
fitted third row of guns and made some loops for future riging.
All project going slower than i thot and requires alot of work and patients.
Next on my list is Top deck. Lots of small parts to paint and to fit.
Two lower decks got their guns fitted today. 32 pounds and 24 pounds. Done some painting to Bow section.
Today i finally glued hull together. Looks like the journey begins.
