Sounds like you are progressing along well, I look forward to seeing the first pieces of wood lay down on the build table. Michael -
It is easy to see the form of the hull now John, looking good. Michael

Keith you have done a fine job on the boat, your Bligh looks great also. Michael

Dave your sentiments about this site are no doubt shared by many including myself. Dave those cleats are simply amazing, as is the rest of the model and the rigging is remarkable. Michael

It is a complex model for a first build, I admire your pluck, and trust you have the energy to work through until completion, I will follow along. Michael

Regarding the sanding sticks, I have found that double sided tape is much easier than rubber cement. Nice work on the workbench Remco, Pebbles looks like a real charmer. Michael

Lions heads....is that what they are? I though that they were raspberries that had been out in the sun too long. Very nice work on the little boats Denis Michael

plating looks great Nenad. There is an error in the link http://mcjazz.f2s.com/ClipperShipPlans.htm I get a page not found error. No dont worry now that i cut and pasted it it seems to work, that is strange. Michael -
Nice work on the cutter Steve. I like the bead idea I wonder if you were to give a slight pinch in the tube below the bead and a slight peening at the end whether you could use the same bead but have it as a swiveling fit instead of a glued one? Great Idea with the sprig Gerry. Michael

Ed I have run out of words, and just enjoy following along. Michael
-
Kevin a great start, i will be following along as well. Michael
-
What a great upgrade! the model and the full size counterpart look super. Michael
-
The method that you are using for laying out the angles for the chain plates makes a lot of sense Nils. Michael

Bob, Pete, David, Row, John, Thanks for looking in and for all the likes. I have been a little quiet on the cutter this last month, I do however think about what to finish next just about every day, and now that I am going to be home again full time I will be able to get more done.(I finished helping my friend build his house) The one thing that is bugging me is the proper painting of the hull, and all the different bits of rigging that need to be finished. I will have to remove the mast and rigging in order to flip the hull for painting and that will definitely be done within the next month while it is warm. Michael

just catching up , Grant your metal work on the bollards looks great and the rest of the metal work is very clean and well executed. The locating pins on the bottom of the copper ring, is something I would not have thought of, because I would have machined it out of solid. That is what I enjoy so much about this site, all the innovative and creative ways to accomplish the same task. Those joggled planks really do look amazing. Michael -

Nenad, your last test shows that it was worth all your time and effort to get the effect you were looking for, it look great. I look forward to seeing the final results. let's hope "hothead" reads your admonition. Michael- 4,151 replies
