donrobinson got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Well it's been a month and I don't have much to show for it. Thanks to all for stopping in, for your likes and great comments. I bought an android box for my TV and have been wasting too much time watching that, great device but be careful!!. Here are some pictures of what little I have accomplished:
These are the completed demizanas and their rack
This is a before and after shot of the pedestals for the new stand I built. These are some sort of pistons that my favourite son-in-law(my only one) gave to me. I just turned them on the lathe to clean them up and size them, nothing to technical here.
Milling the slot for the keel, this is a piece of rosewood
This is all the pieces, the base is cherry. I drilled out the brass pedestals and epoxied some 1/8" brass pins in
And here it is assembled with four coats of poly. The brass pedestals were given two coats of spray lacquer
These two pictures are showing the railing installed and the demizanas/rack installed
Here is a shot of one of the supporting posts down in the hold, complete with dust. lol
And this is how she looks this morning
Next up are some breast plates(I think that's what they are called) at the bow and stern then a top rail at the stern. Sorry no bow shots, there is some re-contruction going on that I am really not too proud of
Thanks for stopping in and enjoy your day

donrobinson got a reaction from Beef Wellington in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Good Morning All, Thanks to all who have visited, for the likes and the gracious comments. Much appreciated.
Not a heck of a lot going on but having fun doing it, just a few pictures showing what';s going on:
The windless with it's poles(is there a proper name for these?)
The next few pictures are showing the process I used to make some demizanas
This one is showing the tools I used
This is showing what I have been mainly busy at this week, making shooter glasses. Normally I wouldn't show this but being we are drinking rum out of these so I thought it was a little nautical. It is a 60th birthday party with a Jamaican theme, hence the colors and Appeltons rum.
Here is the final demizanas, the small one still needs some refinement. They are about 30 and 10 mm tall.
And to end with, I have the port side deck rail installed and the top timbers re-installed. Now onto the starboard side
Thanks again for stopping in and have a Good One

donrobinson got a reaction from Martin W in HMS Pegasus by paul carruthers - Victory Models - Scale 1:64
Looks good, those stern extensions caught me until it was pointed out to me. Luckily I only used white glue and ca glue to attach them(real easy to get off ). Look forward to seeing more, supports for that plywood decking is a real good idea.

donrobinson got a reaction from Blighty in Emma C Berry by Cannon Fodder - Model Shipways - 1/32
I'm about the same as Thistle17, I use various shapes and sizes of wood with sandpaper glued to it(or double sided tape). For fairing a hull I typically use a paint stir stick with sandpaper attached to it, with a different grit on either side. As for sand paper I use sandpaper that is meant for belt sanders as it lasts much longer and is better quality. Poor sandpaper is much like using a dull chisel, requiring more pressure and causing more breakage.

Hi B.E., so often in this hobby construction is followed by de-construction followed by re-construction and again you have mastered it. Thanks for taking the time and effort for doing so
