Love the work going on here, specially like the windlass.

Thanks Stuart I was quite happy how that work out as well

 

Well did not take to many pictures of the Main/Fore Masts being built along with the top masts, these mast are all tapered, also made the Iron Gate with hinges, the crane parts including brackets for Jumbo/for boom topping lifts, made both top mast tackle sheaves and both cap bands and all eye bolts so they are quite detailed.

Thanks Kev and Stuart for dropping by do have one last item to make for masts and that is the canvas mast coat these I will make out of very fine cloth which will hopefully look like canvas.

 

Working on the Main Boom and Main Gaff made these out of cherry machined Boom to 15/64" and tapered to 3/16" either end and Gaff 5/32" and tapered to 1/8" and 9/64", then made the Jaws, clappers  out of Boxwood

Jaws for Gaff had to be sanded to have a curve in them

Drilled, counter bored holes in Jaws for nuts and bolts and also to mount clappers

Made some small eye bolts and small links

Then started making parts for the boom, added the sheaves for topping lift, clew band, main sheet band with bail, quarter lift band,boom tackle band, a couple of these had hinges, so here is how I made them

Started by soldering small tube to brass band

Then used my Turbo carver with a dental bit and removed some of the middle for one end and the other remover the outer parts

Hi Steve, sorry I think my post as been taken in a wrong contexts, have looked at many amazing wip ship builds and 99% have been plastic or resin so my question was am I on the right site for wooden ship build and you have answer brilliantly thanks for your reply :like: I think Britmodeller is a fantastic site so sorry to have you thought it was something else.

It is Maritime and it's a (brilliant) Work In Progress. Seems the perfect place for it to me.        :thumbsup:

Very nice boat to model, I did the Billings 1/100 version but that is a far cruder kit which does not do justice to the lines of the original. Your handiwork is exemplary and will produce a superb display model. It tempts me to go and have another go at a bluenose...
