Montañes by Occre Build Log

A little progress at weekend.

I made all necessary wrapping and placed all fore mast lower shrouds. All deadeyes tied down to the shrouds.

I wrapped the shrouds slightly long more than needed. I didnt glue the edges of wrapped thread, just tied . So I can easly untie them and unwrapped the excess lenght.

Ant it's time to warm up for thousands of clowe hitches.

I use beeswax on threads. I realized from the photos that real colors of threads cant be seen because of beeswax. So I decided to use hot air with hair drying machine on threads. I satisfied with the result. Check this before and after photo :

That's all for now.

Best regards from Turkey.

I appreciate the details you have added and your willingness to get it correctly done.

YOUR BUILD IS GOING EXTREMELY WELL UNTIL now. I have nothing to add more than the old navy "WELL DONE MATE" will add a pic. of the oriental CAP. As you can see, it is easy to build. the lower part a thinner Inglish CAP. The upper part, measure a piece of the right diameter of a wooden mast, past it on top of the other cap and make some cut on the round part.
and divided in. you get then two half circels

Looks really GOOD. I like the re-enforcement -instead of the real stay- which will have to be treated as the shroud- seizing-to maintain the mast, as they should. just for your info. I have just seen another build of Montañes. Have a look, as he has built the hull, as I dis with Bow, Stern fillers and between the Bulkheads, which gave him a very smush Planking.

Thanks for your compliment Poul. I removed the bowsprit while renewing the fore shrouds. Bowsprit is really long and can be easily broken while rigging. So I decided to use temporary stays instead of the real ones in order to maintain the position of masts. I'm also following the other two Montanes logs. Scottola and Mirek do really god job on their models.

Best regards from Turkey.

Bilal, My goodness you have some serious talent. Once I get my finish up with bottom section of my Montanes an start in the finer things I'll be doing my best to emulate what you have going. I am really glad I have someone to follow on this.

Thanks

Thanks Scott. Also you’re doing good job with your model. Your compliments encourage me. I’m ready to do any help I can. That’s what SOS for.

Your ship really is looking fantastic Bilal! I really like the deck and the hull, and your mast and rigging really add to the overall precision and craftsmanship you have done so far. Great job!

Hi Poul.

Thanks for your post. Well I’m ok but dealing with some business stuff even at nights. I am preparing a document and have no time for Montanes. I think I’l finish my job tomorrow and return to building my model.

Hey Bilal, over on my Montanes I am getting ready to put on the upper strakes. Looking at pic 67 in the instructions it looks like there is a groove right down the middle of the 2X2 strips I have bounced around all over the place looking for how to do this. I see that you did not do this and just used the 2X2 as is. Now that you are well past this phase are you happy with your decision? Or do you wish you had added the grove. I don't have a mini table saw so I'd need to spend a ton of time building some sort of contraption to put the groove in. I am leaning at skipping this like you did. Thoughts?

Hello @Scottola, I know you are asking this question of Bilal but I just happened to see your post. Check out these scraper tools - they are used to create these profiled moldings: https://www.micromark.com/Artesania-Latina-27300-Micro-Shapers-Set-A-3-Plates; https://www.micromark.com/Artesania-Latina-27301-Micro-Shapers-Set-B-3-Plates.

Hope this helps - and sorry for posting on your log Bilal!

two ways to do it. 1: Add a fine Metal Wire between the two lists. ": add the to list glued together, and with a Dremel with the right spindle let it run between the two lists. In the Plastic industry, you can get a very thin black paint, which is so diluted that it runs itself- only lift the ship a little. Is manly used the make aircraft panels-to0 highlight the panels? I used to add the wire in between, and then this special Paint, as it will only run where the metal wire is and at the same time gives the colour- use a syringe. it is very good too, to highlight other parts -you will have this later on
