marsalv Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share #456 Posted October 31, 2017 Thank you guys, the answer to the jdbondy question: See the picture in my post dated 4 August. There is an aid tool which I use to make networks. After thread stretching is important thoroughly to overlap the netting with diluted PVA glue. After drying is possible to cut the netting into the required shape. Work is now slower, thanks to my own stupidity, I often have to make some parts agani and again.

Landlocked123 Posted November 12, 2017 Share #461 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Marsalv, I don’t know how I have missed this log for so long, but I found it today and read the whole thing from the beginning. It is easily one of the finest builds on MSW. I can’t offer praise higher than that which you received so far, but I do wish to add my thanks for sharing it with us.

SawdustDave Posted November 12, 2017 Share #462 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Marsal.... Been a while since my last visit to your incredible Pandora build. What can I say that has not been said by so many fellow artists. You sir, truely stand apart from all mortals who, like myself, can only admire your skills from afar. Very thankful am I for this forum where we can enjoy such masterful work from the likes of yourself, Ed T, and so many other great masters of the art. Thank you a thousand times over. Now, after spending four hours catching up, please excuse me while I walk out to my shop and set my current project afire.

marsalv Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share #465 Posted November 16, 2017 First of all I would like thank you all for very very nice comments - I am very happy for that. And now the answer for Greg´s (dvm27) qustion: the wooden woolding hoops are made from very thin pear plank - dimesions are 0,4 x 1,0 mm. This plankmust be thoroughly moistened in water and then it can be carefully wrapped around the corresponding round rod. Both end of the planks are fixed and after drying (preferably overnight) you get a wooden spiral from which the individual rings are then cutted - see picture. And now a few new photos - lower mast tops. It remains to add rail, deadeyes and blocks - it will be made after coloring. oneslim, toms10, Bluto 1790 and 27 others 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsalv Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share #469 Posted November 25, 2017 Albert, Dirk - thank you for comments. Dirk, I spend most of my time building a Pandora and I do not have much time to watch other posts, but I must say that your work on USS Confederacy is also wonderful.

marsalv Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share #475 Posted December 10, 2017 Thank you guys for compliments. Before installing the masts on the model, they must be fitted with different blocks.
