Help with rigging a 1920s pond racer
Keith Black replied to Dobro23's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Bob, you really do hate polyurethane don't you. -
Keith, it all makes perfect sense and I think you're spot on regarding the materials.
-
Sorry, I got to this party a bit late. A thumbs up to all post back to the beginning.
-
What a lovely ship, neat and tidy work, Jorge.
-
Dang supply chain problems, hope that it gets to you soon. She's really coming along nicely, Phil, well done.

Jason, welcome to MSW. Please share your Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes build in a build log.
-
Jorge, welcome to MSW. I look forward to seeing your build log.

Dave, good on ya and God bless.

Painting a boat or ship's interior white or a light color would have been beneficial for night vision and the ability to see items within. If a boat was to be used only during daylight hours, interior color wouldn't have mattered.
-
Siggi, I wish my carpenters and painters were as talented as yours, they do beautiful work.
-
Brian, a thought. If you painted the interior of the ship's boat white (or light color) the darker oars would stand out. In the photo I just posted, the interior appears to be white.

Kramer, the hull's second planking turned out nice, great job!

Lynn, go to the home page and in the search box enter 'marking the waterline'. There are several builds where folks show how they marked the waterline. Nice to see you making good progress. And you're right, I don't have a clue how I found the time to hold down a full time job. To recruit new employees Walmart is offering a $5,000.00 sign up bonus. I thought about it for a split second but I figured the 'nap' clause I'd have to negotiate in my contract wouldn't be worth the trouble.

Barry, welcome to MSW. I look forward to seeing your work. -
Lynn, where are you? it's too cold to be playing golf.

It's always fun when we get the Keith, Keith, and Keith conversations going. It's like the 'who's on first' bit.

Keith, I wish we could sit down together sometime and swap bush plane stories. Most of my experience was in a Super Cub on tundra tires in summer and skies in the winter, a plane my buddy owned and piloted. I know what's involved, please fly safe. Nice ride, very nice. Do you have to fuel out of 55 gal drums or can you get into a for real fuel service?

Dave, this is a decorative model and unfortunately it has no monetary value particularly in its current state. Are there any young kids in your neighborhood that you could give it to? As a toy, if it were to put a smile on a kids face it becomes priceless. And who knows, maybe it sparks a interest in model ship building in some young boy or girl.

Gary, I almost reacted with a 'sad' emoji because with the lights going in, it means this is just about the last chapter of this build. Each completed project is absolutely amazing but the journey with you creating a build is so very rewarding. This one isn't even finished and I'm already on the edge of my seat in anticipation of your next project. Any hints?

Brian, really nice work on the oars. They are a minor item, not taking them lightly is admirable. As they lay in the ship's boat, the oar shown at the bottom is the more stealthier. I don't know how much white oars would show up at night if a crew was trying to depart or land without notice?
