Sorry to be behind here, but what was done to get that central piece of the layering so thin? -

Is this worth buying? Im thinking for fairing mainly, also some plank tapering. Just curious... -
Thanks... literally just got back to it yesterday. Small update on the b-log this morning. Work, kids, winter and all that has a way of sneaking up on you and taking all your free time away.

Planking Videos?! I must see these, where can I find them?

https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/ship-models This looks amazing... as a conservator, I only wish I was in the right discipline to apply. I am a paper and book conservator, this would be geared towards 3-D or objects people. In either case, somebody around here might be interested in attending.

where can find this Awesome model ??
Justin P. replied to mahmoud sabra's topic in Wood ship model kits
Mahmoud, Do you want to build it or buy it already made? http://www.admiraltyshipmodels.co.uk/acatalog/Soleil_Royal_Soleil_Royale_Ship_Model.html These guys seem to have a lot of great options for pre-made models and they ship internationally... They could probably work with you to get a version of the Soleil pretty close to what is in that screen grab. -

I thought that it might be a prop as well, but given the nature of the BM I would have thought it lunacy to need museum props when filming in a Museum!!! especially if the prop itself doesnt lend anything to the story. In any case, it seems like is has some degree of detail... What is it about the mounting style that lends you to think its a prop? -

I believe that is Sovereign of the Seas. CORRECTION: I actually now agree that this is possible Soleil Royal. This was from Night of the Museum 3, filmed at British Museum and I cant find a record for a model of either ship in their collections. -
Yeah... the no kids thing Im sure helps a lot! haha. I have a toddler at home... if she spots me go anywhere near my modelling stuff, she wants to "I help, Poppa!" Then we spend 2 hours putting clamps on eachother's shirt. Thanks for the answer on the scratch/kit deal. I was just curious if you were planning to fabricate some or all, or what was happening. The Cheerful looks like a great project and so versatile in the way you can pick and choose the components the way you can. Kudos to Chuck for setting it up that way.

Great work, Im very jealous of the time you seem to have to devote to it. You work very quickly and consistently... Im envious. Out of curiosity, and strictly because Im worried I might have gotten my terms mixed up. Is this a scratch build or a kit? To my understanding it seems a kit build, but as you say that your not using any power tools Im confused as well it seems everything was supplied. Is that wrong? Scratch means to manufacture your pieces fully from blank wood stock, correct? Or no?

I know a prolific builder out my way that uses cherry almost exclusively for all his planking. Seems to work very well for him. - J

Looking forward to this one...

Buying an Expensive Kit and throwing most of it away
Justin P. replied to pirozzi's topic in Wood ship model kits
Har har! Ive seen your Longboat build Erik, and if YOU dont know what your doing then I'm a really lost cause! I have probably the least experience of everyone whose responded so far, but completely "get it." To my mind, the kits are great starting points but as is wonderfully illustrated by the stern lantern example there is always a way to make something better. It seems like most of us are the tinkerer type and will through no fault of our own be compelled to tinker. It so happens that this manifests itself through scratch building and kit bashing. The amount of time/effort and tears that go into these things it is no wonder that folks will routinely opt to fashion parts from something better than what was provided. In some instances I can see that really the kits are a way to get the plans... they also come with examples of roughly what the parts should look like when your done fashioning them yourself. -
Im a collector myself, if I run across it Ill let you know. I have a few contacts in the rare book world and will send out an query as well. My initial guess is that it probably had a limited run, did not sell well and was consequently not printed again. Books like these come up from time-time when libraries do big sell-offs, which are then picked up by the big online used book traders for a few cents per pound of book. You might get lucky there...
-
Thats a hard one to find, where are you located? In my capacity as rare book conservator in a large academic research library I've been able to locate it in many libraries across the country but so far 0 are for sale. Incidentally I fly-fish off of Bainbridge Island all the time...
-
Does it come in different colors? I would think the color (watch hands) wouldnt be quite right...
-
Looks great, what are you treating those lines with?

Some very clever stuff going on in this build. Very interesting! I have found the Amati keel clamp to be really useful. Would'nt really help with your backing issue as it does need a place to grab on, but has much smaller jaws than the Bessie Clamps and can accommodate odd locations much more easily. Besides... who doesn't need another excuse to buy some bench tools?
-
Those look great... I fear this step, the finer the detail the messier the mess. Great Job!

I just went through the packing up and moving the 'yard into a new house. Was a headache, a blessing and huge distraction... Just got things back up and running. Good luck with yours... Your work is great, and Im an especially big fan of the team-o-vises you got goin on to keep that hull up. Just something about seeing them makes me smile...

Well then sir, I can be of no use to you. Ill be curious to see what others with more expertise in plastics have to say. Good Luck!
