Hello. I’m new to the forum.

what others can do

I just had to Jim... Hahaha

Hi everyone. I’d like to meet the person who said this was a relaxing hobby. Oh my god. Fitting her to her final display base. What a trauma. That said I’m happy with the result. Everything nice and square.

Your Endeavour is build very accurate - a fine model - so I am looking forward to see her finished and than the Mercurý...

 

[Robster]

Hello. Sorry not posted for a while. Bowsprit foremast and mainmast now finished and I have collected her acrylic case.

Yes, sometimes, I would like to meet that person too. I think this 'hobby' brings out the desire in some of us to overcome things - since there are other things in life I can not overcome -

 

[Robster]

It does. Sometimes you need a little help from your friends. Photos of the base being made by my good friend.

 

[Donnie]

wow - with that big chuck of wood, I don't think that ship is going anywhere. BTW, I am sure that shop is limited only by your imagination of what can be done.

 

[Jimsky]

Wonderful shop, Bob!! Great selection of tools.

 

[Robster]

Here is the base. Polished with the Endeavour plaque

 

[Jimsky]

The base looks great.

 

[Brewbrarian]

Welcome! Great work on the Endeavor.

 

[Stargazer]

Will that bottom lip support a glass case Robster? Your Endeavour is looking great btw....

 

[Robster]

Yes. The case is made from 5mm acrylic which is much lighter than glass.

 

[Stargazer]

That is going to be an impressive display. The ships wood and the oak base (is that oak?) really compliment each other...

 

[Robster]

Yes it’s oak.

 

[shota70]

looks beautiful

 

[Robster]

Lovely

 

[Robster]

All masts now completed and rigged as much as possible. I have a couple of little jobs on the hull to do then the big job. Stepping the masts.

 

[Uwek]

Looking for a recommendation. Torn between Calderdale H.M.S. SNAKE or Amati Pegasus. Any advice?

Hallo @Robster
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 

[Robster]

Thanks
