at this rate, not being as meticulous as you, i may catch up with you ...but no, you're inspiring me to slow down, curb my impatience, and take my time.........sorry, but do you really have twins?..... -
thanks so much for your response chris......i'm with you there regarding the caulking.....i feel better with your confirmation....i will do the treenails though, it tends to really show up the graceful lines.......just got the wood today......starting to feel my teeth itch ......so happy to see your lovely shots ......cheers, vic oh, what glue did you use for the planking?...yellow?white?ca?

hmmmmmm.....i keep wondering if you have documented the major part of your build....which is absolutely gorgeous by the way.......i've got the skeleton done and am waiting for the pearwood i purchased from jeff -such a nice fellow-...................... one thing.....did you use a pencil to simulate caulking? it doesn't look like it.. i was pondering whether or not to do it, because of the darkness of the pearwood...maybe not as effective.....also wondering about treenails and how to accomplish this on the pearwood..i thought just drilling and pear dust with tung oil, or satin wipe on poly as an adhesive, depending on which i'll use.........and did you glue the planks to each other, or just to the bulkheads?...boy....if i could do as good a job as you, i'd be very pleased indeed!.................thanks, vic

hmmmmmm just found this site.....many many years ago, i built a reg size model of the norske, and also a 7 foot r/c version as in the photo.....liked this model because of the fat hull which was able to sail without external ballast....blue ensign--beautiful job on your model......... loved your modifications, noticed also the rounded transom opposed to flat......don't remember, but i think my bow was rounder good luck with yours nigel actually i was looking for plans with bulkheads for this model, but couldn't find although i don't think i won't build any more ships....ha ha........will have to keep an eye on this post........cheers.....vic
