Bob, For a long time I could not make a decent drawing of a person let alone make a sculpture of a face. Until I bought copy of this book and my results improved dramatically after I understood the concept of proportions. I still have to make the step from polymer clay to actually caving in wood but that is just a matter of time. Remco -
I see they are really challenging shapes to make, but you make it look like a walk in the park My hands are itching to continue with my masts...... Remco

Yes do keep boring us Piet Popeye, I found a guy in North Dakota and he has an Alps printer and was willing to do a one of print job. It's a dye sublimation printer that has white ink, ideal to print decals with. Remco

Bold move Piet, the result looks great. There is a way to know what port and starboard is in Dutch too, I have to use that all the time. The first half of the dutch word stuurboord has an R in it just like right (or rechts in Dutch), bakboord (port in Dutch) does not have that. Remco

The antenna installation looks great. You might opt for not removing the decals but just repaint them? Remco

At this scale ???? That's a tough one, maybe if you use brass. I think wood is to delicate for such fine curves and thin legs. Remco

Sweet looking head section!

Those deck clamps look really good. Remco

Impressive work Dave! Remco -
Piet, regarding the flags I've been thinking. I never tried it but what about really thin plastic card, <0.01", shape it into form and then stick some decals to it. With the decal paper you still have you could make some red and blue stripes (first paint then cut to size). Remco

Nice Danny. I hope you do find the mast plan from Admiralty models, it has all the details you need. Remco

Interesting Piet, I did not know the Royal Dutch Navy had a different flag than our national flag, learning something every time here in your build log. Remco

Danny I just realize it's been way too long you've show an overview picture of your Vulture. You always have been showing all the details but I was stunned (but not surprised ) to see how beautiful everything is in the overview shot above. I can only say 'please show me more!' re: the masts, you'll find that lots of fun. Remco

Nice looking pumps Dave! Remco -
Gaetan, at the slowest setting my dremel (cordless type) still turns very fast, and even with the flexible cord I find it to bulky to operate near my model. My other micromotor has no 3 jaw chuck. Remco

Nice metalwork Danny, you fooled me into thinking the plates were forged together Remco

Thanks all for the kind comments. Alan,I use a pin vise to drill the holes, my dremel is much to aggressive for this type of drilling and the smaller drills do not fit in my other micro motor. Next to that I feel much more comfortable to do this precise work by hand, a powertool will not give the feedback a pin vice does. Ed, Mark, I draw the castello up to the .018 hole, getting at the smaller sizes you really need to be careful not to break the wood. I use 24" strips to get a better yield from the work involved drawing one strip. I also made a minor improvement to my Ed's style clamps as the treaded holes started to wear out pretty quickly in my case. I added square holes and inserted little nuts for strength. Remco

Popeye, I used a white decal film and a color laser printer. I'm thinking of trying a different solution to fix the con numbers for Piet. Remco
