Larry, I forgot to mention, I really like how you incorporated the ring bolt detail on the exterior of your hull next to the gun ports. That's one of those details I wish I had included. -
Larry, sorry to hear about your Uncle. I hope he starts doing better. The pictures look great.
-
Great looking rudder Larry. I too, am looking forward to seeing more pictures. Bring a warm coat Larry. It is frigid here. What parts are you visiting by the way?

Fletch, I may also go with constructing my own hatch gratings and combings as well. Should I go this route, I will be using boxwood. In my opinion, mahogany has a large brittle grain that makes modeling small or intricate pieces difficult. One thing I didn't do was plan sub gun deck assemblies for depth below the hatches. I may cut these sections out after or I may paint things black underneath the combings.

Good job on those breech ropes Sjors! I'm anxious to see your 2 mm blocks rigged.

Aggie's teeth are very menacing! Great work on making them look so menacing too. You only have about a trillion to go now, right?

The whaleboat looks good Bill. Heck, the entire ship is looking amazing. I'm hoping for half as good when mine is done.

Get that leg feeling better Adam! We want to see some more progress updates.

Larry, I've always got that thought in the back of my mind. LOL George, my two youngest cats always come running at the sound of noise and, in fact, will try to fight the vacuum cleaner. Sjors, the wood isn't really super thin. I think the glow you see shining through is from the overhead lighting over our table. Thanks to all for looking in and all the likes and comments.
-
LOL George, the eyes dilating are what I like to compare to the 'calm before the storm'. This planking and framing has been difficult because he looks at the long sticks like I purposely bought them as cat toys. I have to lock him up if I'm using a micro saw because he thinks he should reach in and 'help out'.
-
Tim, Tom, and Augie, thanks for stopping by. Framing on the stern continues today. Sherman is pretty young still and it figures he'd be destructive since I named him after General Sherman.

Great work Larry. The hull is outstanding. Your anchor and bowsprit are wonderful representations as well. For my dust issues, I've used a large makeup brush. I get some funny looks when checking out at the register with said items, but the soft bristles are great at removing dust while keeping my ship intact.
-
Great detail on the cross section so far. I've been silently following along. I may be taking some of your ideas (if you don't mind, that is) when I start putting pieces into my gun deck. Very nice work with the pumps.

Great work on that planking Sal! It looks as though you are almost to the finish line with it.
-
It's looking good Bob! Your pictures are so good it's hard to appreciate the scale and the tiny size of some of these pieces.
-
Thanks all for looking in. I hope everybody's Holiday season went well. I have several days off so I figured I'd take full advantage and get some ship building done. Not a huge update, but progress nonetheless. I've planked and rough sanded the two counters on the stern. I also included a picture of a force of nature for my hobby. I don't think Sherman intentionally tries to upset me by wanting to chew on my ship so I can't hate him, he's just following his nature which is destructive.

That's incredible work Ben! Only seven frames left? I can't wait to see them all in place.
-
The shrouds and ratlines look great Rich. Your stays loo good too. Nice work!

The bowsprit is looking good Larry! Did you get the 1/64" wood for treads or go with styrene? I agree with Augie on felt pad correction.
-
Nigel, that deck is breathtaking. I will have to give your LoS and copper method a try. The results you're achieving with it are incredible.
-
Beautiful work as always Bob.
