Sovereign of the Seas - Sergal 1:78 (with hopefully many added details)

[GIG1810]

Hey Jon,

Well done. I know Master Korabel's dinghies. They are really beautifully made. Unfortunately, they are no longer available due to sanctions.

 

[RogerD]

My best wishes for a very happy birthday John.

 

[dockattner]

Awesome! I hope you have a great birthday my friend!

Mates,

Thanks for the Name Day wishes - much appreciated.

The ship's boat is basically done. Will attach oars, a coiled rope and such, as well as connecting the anchor that will be stowed aboard - not hanging down.

Now onto its structural framing.

Cheers,

 

[Jimsky]

Happy Birthday, John! Wishing you a wonderful day full of joy and happiness!

Happy Birthday! Your boat stowage frame is well thought out, and the boat looks fantastic.

Paul, Grant

Thanks --- framing support done - now thinking of how, with ropes, to secure the boat to its framing on the deck. TBD

 

[Phillipsart]

Phillip,

Thanks - glad that you are looking at his log. Working on adding more details to ship's boat framing as well as I had mentioned figuring
out the "how to's" for roping the bits to the deck,

Still waiting on my next project to get shipped - I was ordered in August - now shipping, apparently wont be until mid November (but it
has been pushed back already twice - hmmm) I know that things aren't ok in Kiev - so hoping for the best ( 1/32nd Viking from Pavel N.)
NO just checked now shipping - hopefully in December. Hmmm???

So in the meantime I still find things to do with SotSeas

PS: Your Sovereign also looks great - Have you thought of adding a link to your build log?

Thanks for your nice post.

 

[Phillipsart]

Keep up the great work.

 

[serikoff]

Thanks mates,

She's almost done. I may put together a separate log for how I put this one together. I did some looking into Master Korabel they are
still in business, but sadly many vendors will no longer order their products.
Some images.

PS: Watco oil was their "Natural" --- stain was Golden Oak same as for the Sovereign masts

Do you have experience using other brands of Danish oil (for example, Rustins) and have you noticed a difference?
Did you dilute the oil with solvent or use pure oil?

 

[Phillipsart]

Looking great. Love the build.

No I have no experience with any other oils. And no I did not dilute the oil. I used an ear cotton Qtip and just rolled the oil over the planks - waited a bit and wiped off the wet excess.

For my other two builds, Santísima and Vasa, no oils or any varnish of any kind. Hull and decks have stayed the same over time. The Santa Maria - as mentioned earlier did get a Dark Watco (forgotten which)

Sovereign Pear wood hull and decks will also stay as they are.


Regards,





I won't add any preservatives to this current project either. THAT SAID - I do plan on adding some sort of oil to the hull of my next project, as well as
detailing the interior hull planks trying to get the look of how they were sealed (oil or stain). I also intend to do some oil/stain work with the deck planks -- All to be determined...

Thanks for you post and question..

Hi,

All done with the boat's storage framing. Here are some images. Next need to fiil boat with normal bits; anchor, ropes, barrel, and poss. some other bits as well.
I have figured out how I will attach its mooring ropes as well. So far so good.

Thanks for your visits always much appreciated.

 

[dockattner]

A very creative solution. I'm guessing you take care of all the decorating and interior design at your house!
