Grants Xebec 1:60 (using Jabeque Cazador Occre1:60 kit) [COMPLETED BUILD]

[GrantTyler]

Please do it with sails, it would reall be waste of potencial. Some models just need sails and this is one of them

Good morning. I am inclined to agree with you. I think this Xebec would look a little bare without sails……Cheers Grant

There's awarded Xebeck here on SOS without sails. So check it out if you like it

Heller 1/50th. Chebec

These are in 1/49th scale from a Mantua Xebec Sail Set. These seem more of a rustic made set vs, the set above.

Hey Grant, looking forward to reading all your progress. I’ve already started page one.

No doubt about it: sails!

Why are you building a POB Xebec when you can build this Requin?
All of a sudden this has become an option as a next build...

Hi Grant,
once again you have done an absolutely amazing job. Your cannons look fantastic.

A beautiful lady, but with a deadly sting.
All the little details are contributing to a very convincing Xebec.

Wow Grant, you are moving forward fast but also neat and tidy. Love to see the guns rigged properly, but remember, there only 20 in total, 24 in your case.
The rope you use looks excellent!

Great progress my friend in giving her the teeth that made her so feared. I would also go with sails and I say that because her speed both under oars and sails was her main distinguishing feature.

Have you checked out the size of this model, Johan!

 

[RDN1954]

Have you checked out the size of this model, Johan!

Have you seen the size of Grant's house, Heinrich?

Good morning Uwek. I had a feeling you would have a chuckle with this

Good morning and thank you Shota, Ken, Peter and Johan.

Good morning Heinrich. Thanks. The feature that made me build her was the way the hull shape and the lateen sails combined make the Xebec look so sexy.
Cheers Grant

Good morning. Loads of work nothing new :
Redone oars : Made from scraps and reused wood. I am resource empty and for this ship I am not going to be spending a fortune getting supplies in. MacGyver at work.


Other work just more of the same :
More SB gunport lids, hinges and span :


Cheers Grant

 

[GrantTyler]

…..and some pics for fun

 

[Heinrich]

I really like these oars, Grant! Yes, they are smaller and probably more to scale, but more than that I like their au naturel look with the all-wooden handles and the subtlety of the red/brown tips. They just look like they belong on the Xebec.
