MONTAÑES by Amalio
garyshipwright replied to Amalio's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Looking good Amalio. Are you planning on installing any gun's on the upper deck. Your's are top notch and it's like looking at a real cannon? Looking forward to your next update. Gary -
Looking good Siggi. I always enjoy looking and following your build. Really helps in my own building. Gary

Thanks Albert and Hubac. The patination is a finish that Ed came up with when he was building the Naiad, which is a beeswax dissolved in turpentine to a dilute solution along with 17 years of time. Gary

Work Table Recommendations ?
garyshipwright replied to DanB's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
You know Allan, I wonder if we can talk the person, who's name shall not be mention in to sending some of us mere mortals a few shot's of his work shop ?? I wouldn't mind seeing his library either. -
Thanks Druxey and Oliver. Well who know's, maybe if I practice a bit more I just may get good at it, taking pictures that is. The table is a blessing. It has height adjustment and tilt now and its a back saver. Wish I had done this years ago and really getting lot's of use out of it . Really make's working on her a lot more enjoyable. Again thanks guy's.

Work Table Recommendations ?
garyshipwright replied to DanB's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanks Dan and your very welcome. Hopefully with all the good ideal's from the member's ,this will help you now and in the future along with getting a chance to see other's table and shop's and plant ideal's for you to enjoy building. Belive it or not my first work bench was two 4x4 and a couple of pieces of plywood that made up the top and a shelf below it. Enjoy the site good sir. . -
Thought I would add some close up photo's of Montague. I was on the NRG site and came across the article by Kurt on taking photo's of ones work and figure I needed to practice a bit. Guess I have to find a little space for a photo booth when taking good photo's of my ship. Well guys one day maybe I get the hang of taking good photo's, hope you enjoy the close up. Gary

Work Table Recommendations ?
garyshipwright replied to DanB's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hi Dan welcome to the club. As others have said it depend's on the room you have. Am lucky to have a two car garage and a extension I added on to make more room for my stuff. As far as work benches and desk looking at other people shops help you in figuring that out about what you want. Am always asking some one for photo's of their shop, some times just to see their shop which also helps me use their ideals for things in it must like work benches. I have never had any one say know and we all like showing were we spend are time working on our hobby's. When I built my hobby desk I used Woodsmith plan of their small scale Hobby Bench which is on the cover. It reminded me of a jeweler workbench, and I have alway's wanted one. Nice thing about building your own is what you can add and the detail you put in to it. I also have a 8 foot wood worker bench. My 74 has its on workbench and is much to big to build it on the hobby bench. Her work bench is height adjustable and I just added a tilting to it that allows me to tilt it one way or the other. Really is nice for working inside the hull. The Woodsmith issue is Vol 37, No 219 Dated June/July2015. Forgive for the mess. Gary -

Looking good Albert and you have a very nice looking shop to go along with you build. Any chance of getting a shop tour?? -
Thanks guy. That's what am hoping is a more comfortable way of working on her and not being bent over to do that.
-
Hi guy's. Here's a update on the build but this time it is more about her building board. I add a way of being able to tilt her from side to side which helps keep the back in tack and a lot easier getting to thing's. I worked on a couple of hanging knee's and being tilted made it a lot better. I can't take the Credit for it which goes to Alan/AON and the tech info on it. Hope you enjoy the pictures and any question will be more then happy to answer them

Nice job Doc, and looking good. Enjoying your build very much and look forward to the next update. Gary

Morning Giampiero and thank you. I like the boxwood light color and wish I had built her gun deck with it but hindsight is 20 20. The pear does show up nicely. She does have a few different wood's in her and hope my son wil get some enjoyment out of her in the future. Once again thank you,. Thanks Bitao and Druxey. Glad you guys like her and hope to do even better on her in the future. Getting the lower deck some what done, it's giving me a push to get more done on her, that and having you guy's push me forward. I do get a lot of enjoyment out of looking at her, and thanks again. Gary

Hello. Here's a new update for you. Not perfect but I like it . One thing for sure, It really takes a lot of time to make and fit the knee's to the side but am getting there. Thank's for looking in.

NAIAD 1797 by Bitao - 1:60
garyshipwright replied to Bitao's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Bitao have a question for you . Was wondering how you go about cutting the notches in to your beams and carling's? Very outstanding build you have and enjoy visiting and seeing how your coming along on her. Clearly shows the talent behind the building so keep up the very detail work. Brings a smile to my face ever time I see your update's. Gary -
That's a possibility druxey, of course I probably need to finish the rest of her first 😁
