HMS Endeavour - part 2 Making The Skeleton (phase 2)

[@michaelryan6884]

Very nice John! You're flowing with what they gave you and doing it well.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much Michael!! I am trying to do my best :)

Wolf ignoring his phone answering duties. I like it.

[@mioriticus7779]

The structure seems to be indeed very fragile. I think I flinched at least twice during this vlog. I think in your place I would have created myself all those frames from a 4 mm plywood, just like I actually did for my last model built. Keep going, you will succeed !!!!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

The structure is fragile and needs to be careful. It is not a beginners model, i can insure you about that.

Hello John, I saw the unboxing of Endeavour and now I am very curious how you manage with this kind of different set by Artesania Latina. The materials look interesting, so I will see the whole series. I downloaded the instructions to see how they are. There are no plans no 1:1 drawings only assembly pictures, strange enough and then only on CD. I saw the building of the skeleton of the new Victory by Occre, same thing with the 3 part frames, but 1:1 drawings, so you can lie the parts flat on a thicker plastic foil (glue does not stick) on top of the plan and you can place them accurately. Thank you for showing Harry

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Harry! When i began to build it i thought that it would be a good one, having in mind the old Artesania. It was not a good one. The CD instructions were a bad choice and the cause was to save money from paper. The coloring made the ship look like it was a plastic one. Eventually it was a cheap Chinese kit that was sold in a higher price than it was worth, like all the new kits of Artesania. OcCre is simple the best company in the field , no comparison with cheap Chinese ones.

This looks to be a very intense build John. Very flexible. Regards paul osman

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

It is Paul, until the decks are in position it is :)

[@modelismepassion4493]

John, Je vois que pour le placement de ces quelques pièces supplémentaires, il y a aussi pas mal de jeu. Concernant l’assemblage des parties de couple de la vidéo précédente, ne pouvez-ton pas coller en même temps les barrots, afin d’obtenir un montage plus correct ? Au vue de cette vidéo il me semble que la structure est un peu plus solide. Bon courage pour la suite et à bientôt Yves de Lille (Nord de la France)

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I though that the structure would be a mess. But with the supports everything became solid, you just have to follow the instructions, it is different from everything else i ever made.

[@peterhiggins3329]

While the framing appears flexible at the start as pieces are added, it stiffens up to what one would expect. The outcome thous is quite a light weight construction. I do not believe the use of CA is sufficient for the base structure preferring yellow glue myself. My preference however would be solid wood rather than ply...

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

The CA is only to hold the pieces until the white glue dries. But ofcourse you can use other types of glue as well.

[@degardinlaurent9371]

Wolf n as pas l air en forme sinon beaux travail je suis actuellement en train de réaliser le santisima trinidad gros, énorme travail

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes Wolf is a bit sick and i am trying to get him to be well again. Have fun with the Santisima!

[@jefftitus9869]

Hi John. Would you think the first cross pieces (deck supports) could have been added to the bulkheads before gluing to the keel? It seems it might have been easier to get the spacing correct when assembling the 3 part bulkheads.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Jeff! When the decks are in place the structure becomes more solid and all the spacing gets to be corrected.

[@buckchoppers2480]

Lots of small pieces, John. Is it all 3mm so far?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes buck, the entire skeleton is 3mm except from the decks that are the usual 2mm.

[@degardinlaurent9371]

quelle colle utilisez vous et pourquoi faite vous une bande de colle sur l extérieur ?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I use white glue for wood and this CA www.super-hobby.co.uk/products/KLEJ-CYJANOAKRYLOWY-CA-RZADKI-20g.html I haven't understand the last question.

[@stevea2204]

Hello John, does it state on the box where the model is made?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Yes Steve, Made in Hong Kong.

[@stevea2204]

@@JohnsWoodenShips Thanks John, that's what I thought. The quality doesn't seem as good as their older kits.

[@normandlambert6385]

Bonjour John mon commentaire est en fonction du kit et non de votre travail ce que je vois présentement sur la qualité m’a confirmé que je n’achèterai pas de kit de cette compagnie je voulais faire Le Soleil Royal qu’il on présente sur KZbin il y a quelques mois avec beaucoup de publicités mais j’avais lu beaucoup de messages négatifs maintenant j’ai ma réponse vous avez toujours dit que votre plus beau navire était le Santa de cette même compagnie est-ce que c’était le même type d,assemblages où il on changé depuis qu’il sont rendu en Chines.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Normand! Indeed Santa Ana was and still is the most beautiful ship i ever made. Tons of detail and top quality of materials. This one has nothing to do with Santa Ana, it is different, a lot. We will see how it goes, i am not disappointed so far. We have a lot of work ahead!

[@Herman-ft8yo]

The skeleton looks too thin & it seems need a lot of re-enforcement before planking!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Herman! This one is different and since i have almost completed the one side of the hull i can tell you that with the reinforcements they eliminate the twisted hull effect. The problem is the 3mm of the skeleton, it needs to be careful over there. The quality of materials so far is very good, not top but good.

[@Herman-ft8yo]

@@JohnsWoodenShips well done John👍👍👍!

[@doris777dog]

This kit was obviously designed by someone who has never built a wood model before!!

[@stevea2204]

They are made in Hong Kong now Victor.

[@doris777dog]

@@stevea2204 reminds me of the aircraft models I used to buy many years ago. . . made from very thin balsawood and tissue paper!

[@zjiep111111]

I would not buy this kit. The quality is very poor. You will get it right John. Most beginners in modeling will never get a beautiful ship but a twisted ship.
