James w rogers 900 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 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 900 Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 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 post Share on other sites
James w rogers 900 Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 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 900 Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 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 327 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 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 post Share on other sites
