A nice personal touch with nice tiny parts, Lawrence. It shows the functionality of the windlass.

Hello Peter, Yes this is what I am trying to do but at this small scale and with my seemly fat fingers this is a challenge.

Hello Johan, I thank you for your very kind words. I do find this small scale very challenging, things look not bad at all to the naked eye but these Macro pictures sure can make that same thing horrible.
Regards Lawrence
Good morning Lawrence. Very well done indeed. I enjoy the extras you have added to make this a “working” windlass. It’s all those little details which make the boat. Cheers Grant

Hello Grant, I thank you for your very kind words and nice comments. Yes I have always liked a lot of detail and enjoy adding them. This small scale sure dose make things a lot harder but well worth the extra effort.

Hello Johan, Yes I have often thought the same thing, they are a bit of a pain at times. Showing things in such detail, but in the end I feel that it leads to a finer model and a lot of re-builds.That's why I quit making them.

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I have completed building the little cargo winch and also the windless power drive jack shaft. These are both dry fitted and the chain drive will be added at a later date.

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I have been rather busy tiding up our YQ- Bluenose. We have finally decided not to stain our mane decks, we still may give them a light wash to enhance the color a bit but that can wait for now. We are finally starting to glue in our deck decorations. We have built the Motor box to house the little motor that was sent to me by Henk using Deans designs, I thank you both very much for your very fine work. This little motor is very nice with a lot of detasil, much better than the one that I was originally going to scratch build.

You and your little fellows have made some nice little motor box, Lawrence. And the little motor it self, from a US-design by Dean @Dean62, some interacting by myself, a NL-printing via Henk @Henk Liebre , now to a CA-installation by Lawrence @Canoe21. What a nice International SoS cooperation!
Regards, Peter
That’s great Lawrence! It is always nice to see other’s benefit from something that everyone worked together to make happen.
Yes Peter, the collaboration was international, beneficial and fun. This BN group has been a real rewarding experience for many! And we made friends along the way!You and your little fellows have made some nice little motor box, Lawrence.

Yes Dean this is very true, I followed the development of this little windless motor with great interest. hoping that one day I would acquire one rather than try to build a scratch build one that would not be nearly as nice. Then Henk in his great generosity sent me one, it was like having Christmas all over again, Thanks to you all.

Your motor looks lovely Lawrence - it is great that you could benefit from the "Collaborators". As a teenager I remember an American or British TV show called the Collaborators that was broadcast in South Africa. At that stage, I had no idea what the word meant, but I found out quickly enough!

Hello Heinrich, Thank you very much for your very nice words and comments. I am very pleased to be offered one of these windless motors for my YQ-Bluenose, and it made it's way to Canada.Your motor looks lovely Lawrence - it is great that you could benefit from the "Collaborators".

Hello Ship Mates, Today has been a tidy up day in the Old Ship Yard for the little fellows and my self. Since we decided not to stain our decks this has led the way to glue and install all of the forward deck furniture. We have installed the ships windless, bow sprite, the forward companion way and the windless motor drive gears. We did install the windless motor in the motor box and also gave it a little Led Lamp. We also did the same for the companion way, and last but not the least we have finally installed the stairs to the upper deck. We have checked out our led lighting with only the starboard green lamp to add and the mast head light., these will be installed much later.

Wonderful Lawrence! The lighting looks superb in the motor box!

Hello Paul, I thank you for your very kind words. Yes I to do like the Led Lights, but for the pictures I should have chosen a lower light level as my little remote has four light levels on it.
But it is all starting to look very cozy.
