Stuart 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. Fore Mast by Trestle Tree Main Mast by Trestle Tree On the bottom of Fore Mast made the Goose neck and Pin Saddle, used nuts and bolts Here is how I made the goose neck On the bottom of main mast made the boom rest Then added the metal galvanized chafing piece for boom jaws On the very top made the Gilt Ball and Flat Truck This takes care of both masted except for painting which will come later, now onto Gaff,Booms etc Until next time Regards Richard Edited July 31, 2019 by Ripaman missed a picture 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 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 Filed a bit here and there and put a .016" rod in and with have a hinge This is how it turned out on the Boom Thats it for now until next time, Regards Richard 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshift Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 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... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
