Jack12477 Posted February 28, 2017 Share #122 Posted February 28, 2017 Nice model, Derek, and great photos as well. Wish I had studio lights like yours. I was more the outdoors photographer than studio so never infested in them.

Worldway Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share #124 Posted March 1, 2017 Achu, I'll try moving the strobes closer but, looking back, I like the folds in the back drop. It kind of gives a feeling of waves in the background. Steve. Hoff, TigerSteve, really appreciate the kind words. Coming from you guys it means a lot. Jack, every time I decide to get into a new hobby I go overboard. Drives the Admiral nuts. A few years ago I wanted to buy a good DSLR camera. Once I got it I figured I should learn how to use it. So I ended up getting a certificate in photography from our local College. Since getting into model building, I've had all this gear sitting there in bags. The Admiral used to run an at home Daycare and got out of it about 6 months ago. We now have a large room unused. So I unpacked some of the gear to see if I could improve the images I have been posting. Apparently it worked because the comments since I've posted have been extremely positive. I also posted to Facebook and have been getting a ton of great feed back. I used to use my cell phone to take the pics but I now think it's going to be the Nikon D7100. A much nicer job. Like I said a while ago, this model isn't 100% finished. I've ordered tire fenders for it but haven't received them yet. They have been back ordered for some time but when I get and install them I will post the final pictures. Thanks all for following, the great comments, the help and the encouragement. What a great forum. Elijah 1 Quote Derek If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders.

Mark Nugent Posted November 27, 2020 Share #128 Posted November 27, 2020 If you tried real hard could this be built as an RC. Any suggestions on how and where to start this process in the build. I should get my kit Monday. thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hof00 Posted November 29, 2020 Share #129 Posted November 29, 2020 Hi Mark, RC for this would be interesting. It's pretty small.... I look forward to your endeavors. Cheers....HOF.

Davie Posted February 22, 2021 Share #131 Posted February 22, 2021 Thank you, you guys, for going before me on this. I have just started this, (a wedding present given me by my wife 26 years ago!) and have come up against a number of things you mention. Now it is the gaps between the deck and the tops of the frames. However I feel encouraged that there are solutions and others have come across the same questions!

Davie Posted December 21, 2021 Share #133 Posted December 21, 2021 Just now, Davie said: This is me after maybe one year. I am pleased with the way things have gone (via a broken keel - the original was 5mm ply and the replacement ordered from AL is 3mm - but all seems to have come together quite well). I am now sweating on making the hull as smooth as possible (but how smooth is that?!). Then I am wary about going on to adding the false keel. How is that attached to the keel? Is it jus stuck on? - and also the bulwarks... I might treat them like the planking - damping them then fitting them to the required shape with our iron, and then adding the planking. PS I can't upload a couple of prior pictures to these two - maybe the file is too large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Posted December 13, 2023 Share #135 Posted December 13, 2023 Great pictures - they are most helpful. I am on to the deck furniture and not sure where I am going with things like the engine, funnel, etc., but the pictures show me what goes where - thank you. [My wife gave this to me as a wedding present 28 years ago, and I have just retired so at last started work on it!] hof00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
