James w rogers Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Enjoyed doing the la Madonna del Rosario so much I’ve decided to build the ship from one of the other set of four stamps. Just test fitting in the bottle to decide how big to make it, should be a fun build and has a bit more detail. Might not include the oars though, will have to see.

James w rogers Posted February 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 This zebec is the most challenging hull shape to shape that I’ve done so far, struggling to get it to look right at the moment because of the waterline, if I carve much more off I think I might have to start again!

Going to have to split it in 2 and then make the next deck levels separate as it’s now too large for the bottle neck.😁 JesseLee and Bruce Foxworthy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James w rogers Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Back to it after a bit of a break. Anyway, hope you're all OK? Given the current situation. Finally tackled the job I've been putting for ages as I was hoping to find something for the overhanging grated deck, but alas nothing suitable came about, so I'm having to try and make it from scratch with a very small drill bit in my dremel. Not going to look to scale but hopefully won't stand out to much! The Hull, so far, is already cut in half and dowelled and sitting on its locating plug which will be set into the sea.

James w rogers Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Slow going, got the rear deck and bowsprit done, but now on hold while i build something else! Onni, Bernard Kelly, Donald and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James w rogers Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Back on this today, its going to take alot of dedication to not let myself become distracted and put it to oneside again! So the first job on the list is to make the cannon ports and holes for the oars, drilled holes first, now the painstaking process of cutting them all square, they are only about 1.5mm so i might be quite a while!

JesseLee Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Looking so nice, I love this. I collect stamps and this has made me think about along with my 1800s US and Us B.O.B. I would like to have a separate album with boats and ships of sail from all over the world. Jesse Onni and James w rogers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James w rogers Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Finally got back to it, not much change apart from a couple of ladders and a hatch cover, just need to keep away from distractions and crack on! 😁 Lboro, exwafoo, Moab and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James w rogers Posted March 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Slow progress, haven't really done anything since november, kind of lost the will with current situation, but thought it was about time to knuckle down and crack on with it. probably not going to do much more to the hull apart from a few small deckdetails. Time to start the lateen rigged masts,the holes are drilled and lined up ready. 😁 Bernard Kelly, Moab, IgorSky and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moab Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 This is a neat looking ship. I've never done one similar. I think I need to plan for one...Moab James w rogers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
