Eberhard, you never cease to amaze me with your ability to replicate the tiniest detail. The thoughts of a .02 inch doorknob leaves me shaking my head in disbelief. -
She's looking great!

Thank you to all for the likes and for following along. BrianK, I've seen the PC clips and they are intriguing but as I already have a third hand so I don't know if they would make my life any easier but thank you for sharing. Brian521, sorry buddy. Thank you for trying to answer my stupid question, "do you remember what you paid" for something you bought in 1984. Lynn, I do hope the Workmate vise meets your needs and works well for you. I've yet to put mine in use as I'm doing a bit more research before starting on the mast and gaffs.

Welcome to MSW. Wishing you much success with your first wood model.

Lynn, I like #'s 3, 5 and 6. I'd like to see those three laid next to each other. The photo seems to be picking up a red tone? Without the camera's influence I think I like # 3 best but as I said, 3, 5, and 6 next to each other would make for a realistic look. The texture you added with the wire brush helps a bunch.

Brett, welcome to MSW. I would love to see some pics of your project.
-
Steven, great job especially considering what you had to use as a reference for the build.
-
Lynn, this is the look. A little brown in the crevices/wood grain and the whitish gray on the surface. Gary (what a master and I'm glad you enjoyed his logs) will even go to the point of painting knotholes. I'm anxious to see the results of your next attempt. Happy New Year.......KB

Like heck you did! Eberhard, in your model winter is there , I see it but I feel the warmth of human activity. I think you pulled off the almost impossible task of combining cold winter elements and the warm vibrance of life. In the picture you just posted, you bet, that's winter and it looks dead cold because that's all there is. You, my friend, added life to your model and I feel that warmth.

Lynn, #'s 2, 3, 4, and 5 are my favs, #'s 4 and 5 have a bit too much gray. For first effort I think you have done an outstanding job and really think you're on to something. Do you have a small wire brush? If you don't mind, please try scratching a scrap piece with the wire brush to give the wood texture and then apply a dark brown, wipe off the high spots, and let dry. The play with lighter brown, gray, and white colors.

My eyes see the snow and ice but my mind doesn't feel winter's bite. The wood tone colors, brightly highlighted clothing, and rosy cheeks chase away thoughts of cold.

Johann, the silk fabric looks just fine but I do think the pointed end of the windsock should be open otherwise lift would be limited.
-
Eberhard, I'd forgotten all about this model (my poor memory). The warmth and the beauty of it make it one of my all time favorites.
-
Glen, it looks very real, nicely done.

Gray, welcome to MSW. I'm glad you've landed in our little patch of heaven.

Bitao, a beautiful end to 2021. I look forward to seeing the results of 2022. -
Tim, I just brought up MSW home page from Safari as normal and everything was/is normal, no Jeff Shreve name appeared. I don't know, it's way above my pay grade but for two users to have Jeff Shreve's name involved indicates an issue on the MSW side of life. But there is one common link between users BikerMart, Keith Black, and Jeff Shreve........we all have Michigan addresses.

James, it's now happened a third time. Every time I log out of MSW I clear history, every tine. I come to MSW through my 'bookmarks'. Up until this afternoon every time I've come to the MSW home page, before logging in, at the top of home page is "Existing User? Sign In" For the third time this afternoon when I've come to the home page as I normally do, Jeff Shreve's name is in the existing user space. By going to any post and then back arrowing to the home page, the normal "Existing User? Sign In" is there, Jeff Shreve's name is no longer there. I obviously can work around the problem but, there is a problem.
-
James, I logged out 15 minutes ago and just came back and the same thing happened again. When I brought up MSW from my bookmarks, Jeff Shreve was the logged on as the user. I went to a post at random, back arrowed and the log in request was as normal.
-
Five minutes ago when I brought up MSW from my bookmarks, I had not logged on yet but Jeff Shreve was shown as the logged on user.

Jason, welcome and thank you for your service. I look forward to seeing a build log of your work. So many ships, so little time.
