    Congratulations on finishing your Sherbourne build. It turned out really nice and I have enjoyed following your build log. Looking forward to your Harpy build.

    My method for threading line through holes in deadeyes and blocks is to put some CA glue on the end of the line, maybe about 1/4" worth. Then wipe it off of the line. Once the CA is dry, take a hobby knife and cut the CA soaked end on an angle. This hardened end is then threaded through the deadeye or block. Works every time for me.

    Hi middlyjohn and welcome to Model Ship World. Sounds like you are off to a good start in building wooden ship models. There are three ship modeling clubs in the Chicago area. Two meet using Zoom, with one also having in person meetings. The other club meets in person only as the Club's meeting venue does not support Zoom.

    Welcome to Model Ship World. There is a wealth of maritime history around the Chesapeake Bay. For us ship modelers, there are several ship model clubs and maritime museums close to the Bay.

    Since the model will be painted, I would glue the piece back on that broke off or glue a piece of scrap wood on the edge. Once the glue is thoroughly dry, you can carefully sand it to match the unbroken side. This is what I like about working with wood.

    Congratulations Francois on finishing your Granado. Your build turned out great and will be a nice model to display.

    Good job on the first four frames, but frame 5 looks to be off. It could be the photography, but if not, you should debond the joints and reglue them. You could soak the joints with 91% isopropyl alcohol.

    Let's just say that I have started many more than I have finished.

    I started another ship model and then another. It got put on the back burner and occasionally I will pull it out and do a little work on it. I should really dedicate my time to finish this model. It will be almost 22 years since I started this build. Way too long to not have finished it.
  21. Ryland Craze
    You are making good progress. Your workmanship looks great.
