michael mott got a reaction from billocrates in Bristol Pilot Cutter by michael mott - 1/8 scale - POF May 2

Starting the back of the galley now.

It is easier to work on it outside of the hull, l am amazed at how nice the maple that I cut from the big log 50 years ago still works and planes up with such a lovely lustre. I’m guessing it is because it has been air dried.

Thanks Tom I appreciate that. Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. I did some more work on the galley and have soldered the top to the sink and used the sheet metal drill for the drain pipe.

I have given the wood a good coat of tung oil and will give it another coat later.

Just need to solder the top lip on and drill the hole for the drain the the sink should be ready, presently the countertop is at 28 1/2 inches I am wondering if it is a bit too low.

At this scale, probably the only thing that needs to be done is to pop the head off of a champagne cork and you’re good to go. 😉

I've been away for a bit, so I missed out on your news, Michael. Glad to see you back working on your wonderful model, but even happier to hear that you've recovered from your problems.

Thanks for all the positive feedback..... after sleeping on the decisions about the cushions this morning I tried a new approach with some differedt foam and backing boards.
The next series of pictures are self explanatory.

And yes I am switching to the green because it is softer and more forgiving , The last picture shows the seat and back cushions as different patterns the backs will be the same as the new seats.

Hi WalrusGuy?
I am using a fairly small Canon SX730HS and it has a flip mirror screen I just sat i on a block of wood or in this case a jam jar.

I like the flip screen and have used the timer and then just held it in my hand as well

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
