Like Brain and Mark said it makes a mess when you sand. If you are going to sand with it on the model it would be best to tape off as much of the model as you can, because the dust gets in everything. Try testing it away from the model and you will see what happens. It is always better to be prepared as to what is going to happen then being caught by surprise. -
Thanks for the link Tony. I know others here will find the information very useful in working with wood.
-
I also have the same question. Are you going to weather it, and if so could you tell us how you do it.
-
Thank you for taking the time to explain how you did the coils. There is always more than one way of doing something, but there is only one way for each of us, if it works for you then do it that way no matter how long it takes. Keep the pictures coming.

Beautiful work, I like the way you are doing the detail to everything. It does take longer, but the finally outcome is going to be beautiful. Keep the pictures coming.

Now you have heard it from a man that works with wood all the time, he does know what he is saying. But it all comes down to you as the builder, you are the BOSS and if you like it then do it. But like I said "Duffer" does know wood. Keep us posted and more pictures.

I really enjoy the work you are doing, the detail is outstanding. I also will be waiting to see the "Steps over the Bow-Sprit". Keep the pictures coming.

We all live and learn, sometime the best way to learn is the hard way. But at least we learn from our mistakes, at least I sometimes do LOL.

Your off to a good start. Keep the pictures coming. I have learn a long time ago that you will never have enough clamps. I always look and see if I can get any when they are on sale, for dome reason Lowe's always seems to be cheaper than Home Depot not sure why but they are.

I agree with what you have said, we always get in a hurry at the end and then before you know it you starting it all over again. As long as one learns by his or her mistakes they will always be better the next time. Keep the pictures coming.

The Cad work was first trace using AutoCAD and then everything else is being done with SoildWorks which is a heck of a lot harder but more rewarding since I can move and see in any way that I want. There is no framing plan at any of the museums so had to do a lot of research and ask and talk with people like Chuck, which I am lucky enough to have been able to talk in person with, he has been a big help with this. A real good friend of mine is a master with SoildWorks and has been teaching me what they couldn't teach me in Collage, plus he knows ships inside and out and never seems to amaze me every time we get together. It is a learning experience every time and I love it, now that I will be in my own place and with out the stress and BS I will be able to get back to working on her and at the same time teaching myself CNC software for the 4 axes machine, the hands are shot to H*ll, to much surgery on both of them. I will be making her in 1/48 scale and that will be big LOL.

Paul, Now that is beautiful, and you did it all which makes it even better. I am in the process of finally moving this week, I have someone doing the cellar for me so that I can get as much space as possible and at the same time have it cut off from where the washer and dryer and hot water heater and so forth or not in the same section. In fact I am meeting him in a couple of hours to go to Home Depot to get all the lumber ( I get a 10% vet discount ) and then he will let me know how much electric wire and plugs and breakers I need, those I will get from another place and get my friends discount ( he is a manager ). He will have it done in two days for me because the new kitchen cabinets and counter tops will be in and also the carpet. The whole place will be done over for me and all I have to pay for is the materials for the work shop. And then I will be finally out of hell and can get started on my build, and I have a heck of a lot of them, but the Confederacy will be first, have to finished the CAD work for the frames. Here is a picture of where I am at now.
