Krelis got a reaction from trippwj in Dolphyn by Jan B. - Corel - kit-bashed
Update on my progress, which has been excruciatingly slow..
Dolphyns new nose, made from oak, as every handbook and blog advices the grain is indeed too coarse, had to knock my own head into that wall to learn that lesson, and well, did not have alternative woods available..
And the stern..
to be continued..

Krelis reacted to pete48 in VOLVO OCEAN RACE Open 70 By Pete48 - FINISHED - Scale : 1/4" = 1' - 0"
After enough procrastination, and a lot of projects that I would like to start on I decided to finish her as a static ( less Sails ) So I started by rigging up the mast. I first made the Main Sheet traveler, then put the mast in the Mast step. Next I installed the main Sheet, and installed the Standing Rigging. I installed the Main winches for the main sheet and the jib. I then installed the steering stations, and then ran the Back Stay. Then I installed the Navigation Station. Next will be to make the 2 Rudder Blades, Cradle and install the Keel. Here are the results

Krelis reacted to michael mott in Skipjack by michael mott - 1/8th scale - SMALL - 19 foot open launch
A bit more fiddling with the Carb.
First I made a whole new one with a flange at the manifold side. The top air intake also needed to have the adjusting screw added, it was easier to make a new one rather than trying to fix the first one.
I "knurled" the edge of the adjusting screw by pressing the head of the 1x72 screw under the edge of a file and rolled it along on a flat surface of MDF then beveled the edged on the lathe. the spring came out of a tiny ball race which I took apart for the springs and balls.

Lawrence thanks for looking in. The longer I live with the deck the better I like it.
So here’s where I am now. I made a new cabin/cockpit wall. To make the windows holes sharp they were trimmed with brass. The walls were then painted and mounted in the deck. The lower edge of the cabin wall was trimmed with mahogany and a piece was placed around the top to attach the cabin roof frames. There is also a piece of mahogany trim on the top edge of the cockpit wall. Now it’s about time to glue the deck to the hull.

Krelis got a reaction from kees de mol in Antje (KW49) 1959 by kees de mol - FINISHED - scale 1/75 - Dutch side trawler
Kees I like the effect, looks really good, softens the welds also, my only comment would be that the prop could do with sharper edges

Krelis reacted to Omega1234 in Rainbow by Omega1234 - FINISHED - J-Class Racing Yacht
Hi everyone, especially Piet, Bob and Igor and everyone else that 'Liked' Rainbow's progress so far.
Well, tonight a major milestone has been reached! Earlier today I went to the local Art Supplies store. I showed them all the info and advice that I received from Igor, Leo-zd, Row, Piet, Dennis, Michael, etc about the coloured pencils. They agreed that the 6H graphite pencil was indeed the best to use for the lines and the 2B graphite was best for the shading. I was glad and promptly bought the pencils. I also bought some drafting film to draw the templates for the sails.
A short while ago, using the graphite pencils, I drew the templates of the sails onto the drafting film. The results are shown in the photos. Doesn't look too bad, I must admit.
I'm still eagerly awaiting Igor's packing film, but in the meantime, at least I've got the temporary templates done. I'll still experiment with Leo-zd's and Dennis' methods in the meantime.
Anyhow, here're the photos of the temporary templates.
Cheers
Patrick

I chose a different color by the author of the book.
The color is taken from the book of Sails Italiande Bellabarba and Guerrieri (ed. Hoepli)

LA GEMMA - Tartane ligure 1863 scale 1:50
THE model tartana Gemma on the basis of a plan of 1863 the shipyard Vassallo Sanremo.
The project is based on the book by Franco Fissore editions Ancre.
The original design for the 1/36 scale model construction as arsenal.
The design has been reduced in scale 1/50.
The tartan was a type of ship cargo for trade in the Mediterranean, armed with a sail that was used from 1850 to 1940.

Krelis reacted to Drazen in De Zeven Provinciën 1665 by Dražen - Scale 1:45
Jan,
I was discussing this topic with Ab some time ago. From my understanding, the rules are anyhow for Dutch not that strict, but more – the practicality is important… and not to do “stupid” things.
What I did, was to set the keel planks first. The most difficult is the garboard strake as it is twisted twice - also on the stem. I was trying to give them all a natural and less possible bent first. I did this all with a plastic plank since one can feel the tension and how far you can stress the material.
Then, after 4 to 6 planks, I moved to the planks below the 1st lower whale ad did few planks there. Seems this is the way as described in several literatures if I am not wrong.
Then, I did the steeling planks/drop planks as it fitted best. Funny, I did not need to add any plank on the stern – it just went well and not to wide. Exception: the garboard strake and the next one are wide at the end, but the replica has it too – part on the stern just over 70cm!
If you look at the wreck, it is a beautiful example how we can do exact job, but in the past, things have been made as it would be easy. Even the one dropped plank on your photo is made in “english way” – stealing from both neighbored planks – at least Mondfeld shows it in his book as a rule.
Attached: the low stern section of planking.

Krelis reacted to amateur in De Zeven Provinciën 1665 by Dražen - Scale 1:45
btw the PInas has three or four dropplanks, all lying next to each other: the lower 6 or seven strakes go from stern to stern, the upper three do, and everything in between is a dropplank, either up front, or at the back. That PInas-ship in Den Helder shows a lot of planking features that are 'against the rules'
(Do you have access to 'segelschiffsmodellbau.com'? There is a nice number of pictures of that PInas-wreck in Den Helder on that forum. like the one below)
Unfortunatedly, the ship is in a large glass box, so almost all pics have heave reflections of the surroundings

Denis, there are two things with ship modeling I am/shall be sorry forever ... first - why I made 30 years break ... thinking I coud have today more skills, and second, why I started building CS on messy way without brain and patience ... whatever ... milk is spilled away, and there is no return
Anyhow, pigpen is finished, with a net on the door of cage
Hey, look who is here .... Bob's runaway pet ...
Let's get it inside where it belong

Krelis reacted to michael mott in Making your own Hobby Wood
Last evening I was cutting and splitting some spruce firewood which seemed pretty dry and weathered so I decided to prep some for later use in modelwork.
first the log was split using a small hatchet and a little sledge, you can see the darker area that is the result of the wood splitting naturally and the fresh white area from the secondary splitting that I did. I split the wood radially in order to get the grain as close to quarter cut as possible
the best pieces put to one side, the rest went into the stove.
the selected pieces further trimmed.
then transferred to the workbench
beginning the planing with the jack plane
squaring up
the final smoothing done with the small low angle block plane
ready for storing for later use.
A final comment this firewood was harvested by a friend from an area that had suffered from a Forrest Fire some years ago. this is exactly the same process that I used for preparing the wood I used yesterday for the boom rest here

Krelis reacted to mikegerber in Stavanger by mikegerber - Scale 1:15 - RADIO - Colin Archer design
Hi Patrick Hi Michael Patrick, this is a real horror story! It is not surprising that you have a trauma of this - I would also be shocked. Actually I have already thought about such a problem and especially because "Stavanger" has no auxiliary motor. As old canoeist I will probably keep a canoe in position - but it's still a long way ... Michael, thank you for your nice feedback. I must confess, that I have observed this approach on metal work in your pilot log - I will call it: "The Principle to cut and mill as much as possible - to solder as little as possible". I think, that this method works ideal for my options, since I am not very familiar with soldering technics. Below: Some little progress ... Make the rivets of brass nails The hinge pins are brazed The rivet heads are soft soldered Still dry trying ... Best Regards Mike

This morning I received a great photo from Roger so then spent most of the rest of the morning learning how to make even tighter loops in the tubing.
After a while I got a couple of parts which looked like a good match, I also used a slightly larger diameter tube that was brass so I also needed another pair of flanges (I'm getting faster at making them at least).
Soldered them up the same way as the first two times.
Drilled a larger hole in the new loop
I wanted to ensure that it was all lined up so soldered the bottom piece while it was on the engine.
.
After lunch I did some more tight loops and get a better bend on the lower part so un-soldered the bottom piece and added the new one with a 5 x 64 threaded coupling
Here is the new tap I made it the same way as the other taps.
and the final configuration. now I can make the carb
