Enough so, that I recently purchase the Airfix Bounty kit and The Anatomy of a Ship Book...but that rigging is scaring me death. Stuart That is brilliant Stuart finish that one and then start a wooden Bounty, have three of those Anatomy of a ship books they are great. Regarding rigging you should buy this book it is brilliant will be using it when I do the rigging on the Endeavour It is full of pictures, here are a couple, this is just to show whats inside if this is not allowed please delete Do have these two as well I too have not done much rigging myself Stuart started on the Endeavour, 13 years ago will be doing the Bluenose, I'am going to do as per Martain said, "do it in stages" 14 hours ago, longshanks said: What can I say . . . .

I have his books for fore & aft and square sail. Deals with each part as a separate subject. The model version can only be a step forward. On the subject of rigging, you could set the vessel where she would have a sails sent down. Thereby halving the required rigging. One further bit of advice. If this is your first venture into a full rigged ship don't get bogged down in detail. Looking forward to seeing you progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Time for an update, Started to look at how I was going to build the cabin The coaming for the cabin is not flat, it has an arc from port to starboard and concave from fore to stern I decided I would make the same shape as the coaming on the deck so that I could build off the model, so shaped some wood to fit the inside of the coaming and glued it together Then made the outside shape Started by taking a 1/8 square boxwood and machining a 1/32" on two sides so that the planks will but up nicely as per drawing Then made my own planks 1/32" thick, four planks total for each side, set them up in my plank bender I have with the slight bend and then glued them together Once dried cut to length and trail fitted in my jig, rounded the corners as per drawing and then made sure it worked on model Once I had all sides done and glued to the posts I added some 1/8" boxwood all around top and added beams Then added supports for cabin skylight and companionway Until next time Regards Richard 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff Made a couple of portholes, not sure if I like them yet Then added the outside edges of the roof cut this from 1/16" cherry Then I need to make a moulding as per the drawing so I filed a shape into a blade made a jig so the I could scraped some boxwood and it came out just as I wanted Machined the corners out of boxwood as close to the shape and cut into 90 deg pieces Cut the roof planks out of boxwood and these will be tapered to fit roof. Until next time. Regards Richard 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Hi Stuart my dad told me when I was young "buy a tool a week and you will be able to build anything" so once I started working I did just that but as you say still have to make some small special ones for certain things like making the small grove on the coamings worked a charm, hope these help 11 hours ago, beefy66 said: Miniature craftsmanship at its best beefy Do appreciate your kind words Beefy 1 hour ago, Murdo said: I'm not sure if this is modelling, carpentry or just plain shipbuilding...

File the shape just as you did with the single-edge blade. Never thought of that, do have a few of those kicking around thanks and thanks for looking in Been planking the cabin each plank is tapered Last plank to go in and then a light sanding Now onto the cabin skylight, started with this but made the angle wrong So made a slight change Then looking at a picture of the Bluenose cabin, date not to sure I see the glass goes on top and bars are underneath, so made a step on each side to hold window Then made a 1/32" thk piece of boxwood cut into four parts, drilled 14 .020" holes 1mm apart in each piece and then glued together Now this looks like the skylight on the right of the picture, will add hinges on top as these side both could be raised Next up will be the companionway Regards Richard 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last post had me saying next up was to make the companionway so here we go, started by making the sides and adding the first step Next up was to make the hatch Then I thought I would make the hatch slide so machined a .020" slot in each side and added a piece of .020" wood to the hatch and got it to work If I had the hatch open someone might look inside so made the cabin with sides and planked a floor and made the stairs Then made the companionway fit the stairs so I could remove cabin top tp look inside Until next time Regards Richard 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
