Model shipways block buster
Jack12477 replied to phil5092's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Do you mean this MicroMark Block Buster ? -
Ah yes ! "garde a l’eau!” (“watch out for the water!”) or In England, “gardy-loo!”
-
Looking good Alan. The reflection of the Cliffs in the water looks very realistic. Nice job ! 👍

See New York Steam Engine Association . Canandaigua is in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of New York State

If you visit the Cloisters in Riverside Fort Tryon Park, Manhattan, just north of the George Washington Bridge, you will see similar examples of exquisite woodcarving.

Several years ago a replica Viking Longboat sailed across the Atlantic and made several Ports of Call alone the Coast including one to the Hudson River Maritime Museum in Kingston NY. Had a beautiful pair of carved figurehead on bow and stern. See photos below. Eric, your model looks great. Well done!

It is ! Their pre-made trees are very good, as are their cast white metal trees. The ground foam works well also. And yes there are some good videos on YouTube .

Alan, this is the Woodland Scenics stuff I used to make the snow fo my Sherman tank winter diorama. The paste goes down first then dusted with the snow. Dries pretty flexible and sets pretty quickly. The snow bottle is also a shaker.

Yes ! Good news! The latest track shows the outer most cone passing roughly 50-75 miles southeast of me later in week.

No, I haven't, Alan. I mostly use the Hydrocal plaster of Paris. Sets up pretty quick, very light weight, works well with the rubber molds, especially the small details. ScaleHobbyist is in New Hampshire and I have had very good service from them.
-
Just an FYI, Alan, Woodland Scenics makes some really good reusable rubber molds for all types of cliff faces, etc. I've used them on several dioramas. See my Sherman tank build log around post #158 for an example.. Nice job !
-
Very nicely done! 👍👍

Teutonic knight c. 1200 by wefalck

Very nice figure & diorama, Wefalck. -
If it was me, I would try to salvage the side pieces, first soak in water until wet, careful not too long or the ply might delaminate, then using a hair dryer try to flatten out the curvature, one piece at a time, go SLOW. Once flat clamp between 2 pieces of 1/2 inch or thicker hardwood, cherry, oak, maple. Let sit overnight. Unclamp and see how it looks. If necessary, reclamp and let sit for another 24 hours. It doesn't have to be perfectly flat since it will conform to hull curvature anyway.

Sorry to hear that news Michael, but better to get it corrected now before it gets any worse. Best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Minimum plank length
Jack12477 replied to Don Case's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
If the minimum plank length is 25 ft and the ship is 110 ft, then two 40 ft long planks plus a 30 ft plank would meet the minimum length specified in the contract (40+40+30=110 or 30+30+25+25=110). Minimum does not preclude using longer length boards, but it does preclude using shorter lengths, as in your example, 10 ft, 15 ft or 20 ft. -
Ryland, it is under Account Settings in your profile

It also makes using the J-stroke to keep the canoe on track easier to execute, especially if solo.
