I would also turn the cannons 180 degrees so the wide end is closest the pouring hole, the other way around adds the risk of trapping air. Remco -
The prop blades are looking really nice, I couldn't tell they do not match the profiles I send you, they look great. Now the biggest challenge is to produce 8 identical blades. But with your metal skill this should not be any problem Remco

Sherry, like Ed mentioned, adding a vent will greatly improve your results. I see your mold lacks one now, you can just cut one with a knife. Remco

Looking really sweet Bob! Remco

Sweet Piet. Is the little diagonal support arm installed on the wrong side? Now the load pulls on the arm instead of compressing it, putting a lot of tension on the bolts keeping it in place Yeah, busier workbench, it puts life into your shop Remco

That sure is a fine set of clamps. Remco

Piet, The deck is beginning to look really busy, I like it very much. It will draw the eye across the model and put life into your model. In my eyes you already surpassed the model shown in Den Helder just because of this. It really has an atmosphere. Good luck in limbo, nobody likes it there.... Remco

Piet your hardware skills are admirable, but if it's only possible to make such nice parts through self mutilation you should really reconsider. We don't want to turn your build into an episode of ER. Please be careful and please continue to show the results of your skills Remco

What a wonderful case Grant, the modern design goes well with the ship, the case does not distract from the model like the one of the Cutty Sark. It's probably a 3 man job to get is on and off. And a high ceiling to maneuver Remco

The mines look great Piet. The engravings too, one engraved pulley wasn't enough uh? Thanks again buddy, although I do hope they don't stand out to much after they are inserted in the brackets. Imagine 200 hundred yeas from now, historians digging up the Dutch National Archives for the original drawings as to explain these strange markings on a contemporary model. That would be hilarious...

Those Knightheads look good Ben. Take your time with the bollard timbers, they will challenge you even more from here on. But then again you have a fine mentor looking over your shoulders and he'll guide you past the pitfalls on this part of your journey. Remco

Congratulations Gaetan. You were already a Master Craftsman in my eyes. Good the Guild decided likewise

Very very clever marking tool! Remco

Karl lovely, you work at incredible speed, and still maintain beautiful quality. I like you used a cross section, having all the details and still visible after installing all the decks. How did you make the 'nails' on the gratings? Remco

To bad most of the mine details are hidden by the bin. Still looking great Piet. Remco

Ahhhhhh Piet I thought you were pulling my leg mentioning to engrave the pulley's, but you're actually pulling it off. I am honored to be actually named on you model and also that you let me help you a tiny bit to accomplish your wish to build your fathers sub. A BIG thank you. Remco

Wow Piet, the mines are becoming little models on their own. True very tiny bolts can be purchased from scalehardware(even working types) but making them yourself does give additional satisfaction Remco

Planking continued, the black strake (that won't be stained black) and the first strake above it. The openings for the ports and sweep ports are roughly cut. The joints are tinted with pencel lead, it does not show now but it will when the finish s applied. I'll be taking some shore leave and be back in a week. Remco

Very nice Danny, it looks like a difficult part to make. Remco

Here you go Tom. A small plate is soldered to a piece of thread rod. I made plates from those little hook's you can nail to the wall to hang a small picture from. The device is locked at the back of the frame with a cocktail stick. At first I used wing nuts as I could not find thumb nuts, the thumb nuts work way better as you can tighten them with one hand, with a wing nut this will take you much longer, not good when the glue is drying while your applying the clamps.

Thank you Rich, Tom. Tom I bought them, it's called a thumb nut or Rändelmuttern in German. The rest of the clamp is home made and they work brilliant. I can make a picture of a disassembled one if you like Remco

what is the ideal modelling table?
Remcohe replied to AON's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Rich I like the idea of this turntable. I was thinking of using a separate Lazy Susan when I start rigging, but I see the benefit of this set up. Remco -
You should Sjors, their is nothing scary on this side Remco

Thanks guys. I agree with Ben, who agreed with Grant, who agreed with Bob, who agreed with Chris It should be very subtle but now it's too subtle, Druxey is usually right so I'll be patient. Alan I guess Druxey answers your question. Greg, I used box treenails the end grain has almost the same color as pear. On my test piece I used one coat of fieblings and subtle sanding afterwards. This left the treenails a little darker and showed the color of the pear a bit, quite pleasing. But as staining the large area became blotchy I had to apply more coats of stain resulting in a very even tone. Good for fieblings as it really stains through and through, can't go wrong with that stuff if you need a nice even finish. As most would like staining leather I presume Remco

Take a breath folks. I finished applying the finish.... The good, it turned out nice dark brown (not as black as on the pictures) and the structure of the wood is still a bit visible. The joints of the planks appear slightly visible so it does not look like one big plank. The bad, I made 400 treenails disappear, only when the light hits at a certain angle they are barely visible and the stain is a bit blotchy, applying more coats made it better but also made the treenails less visible. Only one run out at a spot I didn't want, under the strern I also applied the finish (tung oil) it's still drying hence the glossy look at the moment. That will disappear once dry and a quick while with a Scotch pad. Then I can add bolts at the plank ends. Remco
