I see the same, smallest 30lpi. However, when I google "cast your anchor model chain 42 lpi", I find this link: http://castyouranchorhobby.com/Item/MS0516 But,when clicking it, the Cast Your Anchor site says: 404 - Not found. So it was there, but unfortunately not anymore?

She's coming out more and more beautiful every time Bob! And almost finished! You've got plenty of time left to join on the Speedwell banana's after this one! Frank.

If that could be printed in wood, I'd like to order some with you!
-
I love your copper plating and your scratch build windows! Very brave! But the white pillar in between the windows of the quarter gallery could be straighter I think: can you still correct and improve on that? I dare say this, despite your big guns on the wall! Are those real guns? But further your model comes out gorgious Jorge! Frank.

Welcome Leo, and you have my greatest respect and admiration sawing those bulkheads yourself!
-
Hi Tom, Great that you fixed those broken frames. How did you do that? What am I seeing in those last pictures with the stern framing? Can you explain what you are doing there? I don't see any windows from the inside?? Or is this bent piece of multiplex only a placeholder and not glued on?

Welcome Kurt, You bring a lot of good wood working experience to this group and I like your style of writing. It will be great reading your log and following your build! Frank.

Hi Hans, Simply very, very beautiful work on 'the ship' of us Dutchies. I hope the negative feeling about that person's negative comments disappears when I tell you it really takes my breath away to see your beautiful build and that I'm getting anxious to start my own with Blom's drawings after HMS Winchelsea. Only thing is Chuck plans a POF project also after the Winchelsea project. So there will have to be made some choices... Frank.

You're welcome Glenn, that's what's this group build is for, to keep each other on the right track. Luckily no redo needed, like I had to do with my lower counter planking, which was quite exciting when I chiseled away the lower three counter planks in small splinters...

If that’s enough to make and sand the bow planks flush with the skewed bollard timbers, I guess you’ll be allright. Mine are skewed just a little more as maybe I oversanded the bow filler pieces a little. No real rights or wrongs I think, as long as you are satisifed with your work yourself!

Hi Glenn, very nicely done, but shouldn't the bollards be formed in an angle, following the curve of the bow? See the plans what I mean. Also I think the bowsprit hole should be filed and sanded in an angle, given by the angled piece of wood that sits right in front of it, and Chucks instructions ofcourse. This way your bowsprit probably will not kill your mandolin player sitting on the bow later on? Mine is not perfectly round yet, because I’m thinking of maybe fully rig the model and I want to be sure the diameter is not too big at forehand.

Very beautifully done and that in such a fast pace!
-
Clear, thanks Mike!
-
Thanks Jim, I may do it that way. But this is only the first layer, according to Chuck's description I believe I first have to plank above the wales and then add the second planking of the wales and paint it? I'll read it again anyway...
-
Thanks Matt and Scrubby and everyone for the likes! I’m quite satisfied myself as well thusfar. I hope I can maintain this level. Frank.
-
Added two times five rows of 7/32 planking. Practiced with my 3B pencil under the upper row. Waiting for my ochre red paint to arrive from the UK. Frank.

Thanks for sharing the rest of your inspirational build with us again, I was afraid you had given up.. Very smart 3D printer you must have there. Wow, what a detail on that locomotive!

Happy New Year Matt! I also have a habbit of frustration with small and very little parts, because they always end up in my carpet monster with me searching for them on my knees…
-
You’re making great steps forward Glenn. Very nice curvature in that stern framing! I almost made a mistake there, but yours looks fantastic!
