Excellent work Johann, the method of preparing the strips is a good one that I will remember.

Michael

Pete I can see why you "need" to have one.

Michael

Looking good Mark, the shape of the hull is now beginning to reveal itself.

Michael

Hi Russ , do you have any contact with a jeweler? They have a roll mill. Some time ago I was at My jeweler friends place and ran a bunch of different copper wires through her roll mill and wound up with quite a few different coils of copper strips from the different wires enough in fact for a lifetime.

Michael

Rick, I think you have done a wonderful job on the restoration, and the rigging and sails look Great.

Michael

 

will you show a side by side comparison

Hi Pete yes I will be doing that. And thanks to all who posted likes, it is very encouraging.

Michael

Looks good Pete, Glad you were able to use the cleat making method with wood.

Michael

A very nice looking tool Mark.

Michael

I realized that I had not included the half hull model that I had made for this model when I referred to this thread from the Maria theread so here it is .

I will be making a new half hull based on the latest information from Roger.

Michael

Nice work Denis, My you have a lot of different ships on the go.

Michael

I have to agree with Russ Great job on the varnish and flat white good work on the pintles as well..

Michael

 

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

Will you be having one being lowered into place? Piet

and tensioned the shrouds with standard size clothespins as shown here.

The clothes pins really illustrate just how small and amazing your rigging is.  You are making an incredible model Dave.

Michael

Nenad you have a great sense of humour, your last entries made me laugh. :"Man, in which century you live?"  I can just imagine the look on their face.

The wheeled tool I know as a "ponce wheel", they are also used for doing large transfers where you lay tracing paper over a drawing and then ride the wheel along the lines then place the tracing paper over the new areas and then dust it with coloured chalk. when the paper is removed there are all the coloured dots to outline where the paint goes.

And they do work really well on the copper plates.

Michael

Gaetan, it is great to see your workshop space there are always thing you have set up that are things that we often do not pay enough attention to but you do.

Michael

Michael
