Sorry to hear about the damage Bob, if you can handle everything you are currently doing, I'm sure some repair work won't tax you to hard, will just take longer due to the distance. Ben -
The pic with the sander in it just goes to show how big the model really is! Cool! Ben
-
Nicely done JP, you keep making progress! Ben
-
Masterfully done Augie, when you do put the first wale planks on, take lots of time to get position perfect, all other planking and sheer line go from that first one, but knowing you it will just fly into perfect position. Ben

Thank you Greg for the answer, 4" square. That equates to 1/12" at 1:48, I need to machine some boxwood now. Ben

You really have mastered it Rusty, I can't wait to see you do a full POF model. :-)) Ben

Staggeringly beautiful Alex, congrats. Ben

Nice Bob, making some fair progress there, I like. Ben
-
Yep, looks excellent, well done. Ben
-
Really interesting, I love these fast racing ships, such beautiful lines and what a spread of canvas. I will watch your build with interest. Ben
-
Some very nice updates and great masts btw, even more ratlines in your future! Look forward to seeing more. Ben
-
Great to see you back at work Remco, fantastic micro joinery. Ben

Can anybody enlighten me on what dimension a ribband would be at 1:48. Ben

Finally managed to spend a couple of hours in the shipyard, seems like years but I should start to get more time now that the weather has changed and work on the house has been completed. I installed the gun/sweep port sills and lintles, removed the temp spacers below the gunport, and have started fairing it all down. I started with 100 grit, then 220 and now at 320. When finished I will install the keelson and the ribband, remove the rest of the temp spacers and add the last piece of frame above the gunport. ben

That's some great thinking there Rusty, the mortars really look the part. I think I may get a few hours to get back on the Echo tomorrow, have you done any more in yours? Ben
-
That looks excellent Augie, you are flying along! Planking her will slow you down a bit I hope. Ben

Nice Rusty, the experiment on treenail sizes is always fun! I personally prefer the smaller ones but that's just me. Ben

Haha! Only 1/64 out!!! But it played a part of my QG's were all screwed up! Take your time Augie! She is a big girl and 1/64 will show if your not careful while you are framing it all. Ben

Very nice Augie, everything looks perfect from what I can tell. Now now Andy, I can't remember how long it took me but now I can't get 5 minutes modeling time on anything. Ben

Seems like you are over a hurdle Bob, very nice indeed. ben

You will get there Chris, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I do that in basswood! A bloody pulpy stringy mess is what I'm guessing. Ben
-
That's some impressive cad work Joss. I'm sure I will be contacting you for help when I start drawing up the plans for Indefatigable. Ben

Very nice rusty, the cherry really does look good in the pics. Enjoy your vaca. Ben
