Your stairs came out great Rich to bad there isn't a video showing how you made them  I would make a fortune selling popcorn to everyone who watched.

Nicely done.

David B

That is going to take a lot of patience and time.  And you will preserver and do a wonderful job.  Will you be using styrene for part of it?

David B

Beautiful what more can I say.

Shaz the easiest way to do a waterline is to make a fixture that will hold a pencil or marker at a specific height.  I made one a couple of years go and found it useful for waterlines.  Once the height is set you level the hull and move it around the fixture.  This is the easiest way I know on how to get  straight waterline.

Well done Don.

Looking good Geoff.  You must have seen my apt.  That resembled my workshop.

David B

Your sails look good Max and I hope your father gets well soon.

Marvelous paint job Nils.

That boat looks like it has been the hot sun for years.  Fantastic job of weathering.

David B

Looking good Toni, question I have never worked with Mica but knew where to get and was wondering how it is shaped and glued.  At Manitowoc I have seen it used many times.

David B

Jazzchip,  John is correct just post what you are doing and ask for help and advice.  We are like a community of ship modelers in different materials and at different skill levels and we always like to share that knowledge with others. 

David B

You are probably right Charlie the problem is finding the plans and photos if they exist.  Those dreadnoughts did have a weird look.

David B 

How did you keep such a straight and even line?

David B

Looking good so far Piet.

Years ago at one of the clubs we had a member bring an Endeavour and asked the same question.  We told him that it was what he thought would look better.  He did a wonderful job of planking and when he was done with the finish the planking was fantastic and beautiful.

David B

It really looks great.  It would be nice to get one of those fiber optic cameras in their and take photos.

David B

Fantastic!!

David B

The only problem is I do not read French.  When I hear Boudroit with Ancre then I look.

David B

They look perfect to me.  It always amazes me what you can do with paint.

David B

Nice and neat fine joinery.

David B

Michael has a good idea.  I have seen the Endeavour with a glass smooth hull sitting alongside the Shamrock V and the difference was striking and a lot of discussion about racing yachts and their construction.  I wish I had a photo to show but my batteries died on me.

David B

Glenn you have given inspiration to everyone who want to do machining and metalwork.

David B 

Marvelous work Jessie

David B

Great looking model John.
