  1. My attempt at a ship's wheel for the flying bridge. Made with an O-ring, some straight pins and some beads for the handles. It's 3' in diameter from tip of handle to tip of opposite handle at 1:48th scale. My old hands don't have the dexterity to go much smaller.
  2. Alan, It looks like issue 16 is not available to non-members yet. I will keep an eye out. Thanks Pete
  3. My next step will be figuring out how to create the ship wheels from scratch at 1/48th scale. Any suggestions?
  4. @FlyingFish…and there would also be a wheel in the “wheelhouse”? BTW - the detail on the Orca is absolutely amazing.
  5. My next question regards the structure(?) on the wheelhouse roof.as shown below: These plans are based upon a fictional lobster boat from the comic strip "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller. In the images below there is a shop's wheel up there. Is this correct or is it artistic license? (I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules here)
  6. Thanks for looking. I will have some questions regarding how to proceed in my next post. Pete
  7. First I want to thank Chris Coyle for his help in moving my previous posts in the "Ship Plans & Project Discussions" forum to this build log. Below are the photos of my progress thus far.
  8. Thank you so much. Saved me a lot of work. Pete
  9. I want to convert my post "Fishing Boat kit from German company" to a build log under scratch-built
  10. Can I move or copy a thread (that I started) from one forum to another?
