Hi Ken
You have certainly got determination. This is not going to beat you is it. You have come far from that twisted start over two years ago.
Although there's a way to go yet it is really looking the part. I look forward to this being dusted off and completed.

Hi Ken, I've been watching a Russian lady build wooden Amati ships on youtube and was intrigued then I stumbled on your build and have read from the beginning. What a journey from correcting a started kit into one that is progressing very well and am impressed. Having seen the youtube build I realise how complicated every plank or piece is applied with glue and pins. Very nice. Always been scared to try a wooden build...whole other level.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard it's not that hard and should you go that way im always happy to help.

I'll need a new set of power tools just like that lady for sanding, cutting, squaring off and lots of clamps first. Thanks for the offer of help Ken.

Cheers,
Richard

You don't need and power tools mate I didn't use any on this.

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Started on the next spar (I forgot how detailed these are)

(Not finished yet)

Very neat Ken .

Basically to speed things up for me...you don't know how slow I am even with plastic kits.

Cheers,

Following with interest - I have an almost forgotten build I started, still stuck in a box in France

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Hi Steve you need to finish that.
Hi all the next spar has all the block and tackle added.

And the sail

Added the spar and sail

Don't know why I left off here but I didn't finish the paneling when I shelved this.

 

[rtfoe]

All the close up detail of the spars will help me with my Constipation spars.

Cheers,
Richard

More work on this one, did some more to the sails rigging and made a start on the rear boats station.

The supports for the rear boat station are too short (we'll in fact the first one is too short as the ship is wider there so I had to widen the gunwale to accommodate it.

Wonderful stuff. I see you have included the clew lines on the sails, and the chains on the lift lines. This is lots of work and very well executed. Looking forward to the next steps.

Awesome work Ken. She will be an absolute peach when finished

 

[Deleted member 3568]

She will but its so intimidating, I'm trying to break it down into smaller manageable bits but rigging is a nightmare whatever way you go.
There is still so much other stuff to do on it (I wish I hadn't shelved it as I've really no idea how far I got upto)

 

[Mickc1440]

That is some seriously lovely work, such patience

 

[adt70hk]

That's brilliant work on the rigging Ken. Hope you can work out where you got to.

ATB.

I’m sure you’ll work it out Ken. Nearest I’ve ever got to rigging like that is walking around victory and reading the O’Brien novels

Did some work on the wheelhouse.
