Daniel! I hate to admit it but I have 8 models in drydock in various stages, some are mine from scratch and some were started by some one else (3) and I have taken over their builds.

Your craftsmanship is perfect, what a fantastic job of planking the whales and the rest of the hull. I have to ask what type of wood did you use between the bulkheads and how did you add the filler?
-
PS, your work continues to look fantastic as usual!

Ed, I see that you used twisted wires for both the stirrups and foot ropes have you covered this before and I missed why you used wire as opposed to rope? and would it not be better to use smaller diameter wire in groups of three to look more realistic as rope? I have also read some where that the stirrup was actually nailed to the yard and wrapped around it 3 times before dropping down, can you show a clearer picture of how you attached the stirrup? Thanks Guy

This is not my first POF but the first time using this method, Hann method before. Great job on the African Queen.
-
some pictures of your work shop!
-

-
You have a great start!

Guy is still here! and my Triton is still siting on my work bench! have done very little work on it but have not taken it off the todo list yet. Life sort of takes over when you least expect, I actually retired in January but started a project in the house which my wife and I have been planning for several year, "remodeling the kitchen" actually turning every thing up side down! I still work on models when I have an occasion, I now have 5 in the dry-docks. I promise you I will get back to my Triton build before the end of the year!

Kurt could you help me locate a set of hull lines plans for a Woban class yard tug? many were used by the army and Navy in the 40's and I was stationed on several during the 60's. at some point I would like to build one.
Thanks Guy Bell

The restoration looks well done, but why the bright white sales?
-
Fantastic build Clare! I think that its amazing the one can build using card, forget that all the good stuff is printed.
-
an impressively incredible build. The job you have done with the hexagonal tiles and the dragon's head have been outstanding! There is a model of a Turtle ship in the Ventura CA Museum
-
Impressive
-
ME TOO! LOL
-
Thanks Lawrence! If I ever get back to it!!! if you followed the builds that were provided I think you will see that most of us did not use the rap around building board but as you can see from about page 4 on I do have a building board just not one that wraps around the upper part of the frames. This is my first build of this type and as you can see I have a long way to go on it. It seems that every one in the shipyard has gone on vacation, LOL
-
I just stumbled across your build, a very good job, well constructed and documented build! now I ask are you planning on masting and rigging her?
-
Its all quite confusing but looking at the complete plans will answer a lot of questions most. that being said are the wires attached to the sheet chains only temporary? I am sure your volume on rigging and masting will answer a lot of questions that you are unable to address here.

Galley Washington by Mike40 - 1:48 - POF
the learner replied to Mike40's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Great start and another Washington build I will be watching. I love your work bench top and that "Chevalet de Marquetry" is quite a piece of machinery, would it not be more accurate for cutting out the frame pieces than your Excalibur? -
Another Washington build, wow! great start. I have started following all the Washington builds, what a great project
-
great start and wow fast too! I have started following all the Washington builds, what a great project
-
Nice job on the framing! almost makes one want to stop there and display it in a case!
