  1. Dave Outstanding job on the panels, and I also like the black handrails. Michael
  2. Watching you do these boats is giving me a complex, that I am just a slow poke The details are definitely worth doing, looking very sharp sir. Michael
  3. Pete in your last photos and this one there appears to be an addition this is what I was describing. Michael
  4. Upside down and a fine jet from an airbrush or fine nozzle on an airline with the pressure just above atmospheric, should do the trick. Michael
  5. Chris I am sure that given your great skill you will be able to find a way to drill the keel and add bolts to enable you to mount her on the brass pedestals. Michael
  6. Couldn't agree more. Model is looking good Nenad, I prefer the toned down colour to a shiny copper bottom. Michael
  7. Pete what is the transition that appears to have taken place at the bow , it looks as if you have added something to it? Michael
  8. Hi Bob, how is the work proceeding on the sails? the templates look good, have you been sucked into the whole CAD thing? Michael
  9. Alex this is an outstanding example of the sort of care and nurturing that we are capable of. I am sure that your carer Antony will also learn a great deal from you as you work together on this wonderful project. I have no doubt that you will continue on as you gain skills and become an accomplished shipbuilder. I will enjoy following your progress. regards Michael
  10. the colour of the test piece looks great Nenad. Michael
  11. beautiful work Jan, it is really hard to believe that these are card models. Michael
  12. Very crisp brushwork Dave, I would be very happy if it were mine. Michael
  13. I think that it is the very subtle wave that is bothering Remco, but I could be wrong of course. Michael
  14. Harvey these boats are really exciting machines they are definitely pushing the envelope. The interesting thing about hull design is that it seem to me that big changes occur because a designer does a what if, and suddenly the old rules dissolve, and the imposable becomes the new norm. the plan veiw of the drawing that Pete posted is a rectangle with one end drawn down to a rounded point, I did this by a simple tracing over the drawing and it is 1.5m long full size, yes I'm tempted to draw more 59 inch model plan.pdf Didn't mean to hijack your thread Pete sorry. Michael
  15. Hans I have to disagree with you on this one, look at the link to the PDF that explains how the furler works for the Genaker, it is not an endless line. To be clear I am talking about the model and not a full size boat. I have no knowledge of full size furlers. Michael
