Rob, you could make the mizzen in two pieces with the upper piece having a slight jog just below deck level. you'd have to fiddle a bit getting the correct angle. You could use 18 GA wire to pin the two pieces together once the angle was established. -
Rob, I think adding a screw and screwing the mizzen into the lower deck would be an alignment nightmare, IMHO.
-
Per Mr Google increased mizzen rake allows for more weather helm.

It appears the top of the bottle is cloudy near the neck. You could try reaching in the neck with a Q-Tip soaked in different solutions till you find one that cleans the top of the bottle. You could go so far as to put resin in a throw away bottle, let it cure, and then see if the solution that cleans the fog reacts negatively with the test bottle. How's the calf/young steer doing?

Is the Morey lemon liqueur inexpensive and/or any good? If so, simply starting over might be the easier option. Or you could go with a cloudy sky effect.

Nicely done, Kortes. I'd go with raw brass. I don't remember seeing iron skylight grilles. -
SIB (Skier in Bottle) by Glen McGuire - 1/80

Poor little penguin but guess what, that skier's next! Cool project, Glen. -
Off and running with the schooner rigged pond yacht
Keith Black replied to Elmina's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Mike, will the mystery object slide over the tiller? The only thing I can even speculate is that it's a rudder limiter. It's a weird one that's for sure. -
DeHammer, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

The carpenters and painters did a fantastic job, Siggi. I think an extra ration of rum for the lot is in order. .

Seven pixels wide and three pixels at the ends, that just blows my mind. My fat fingers would have that hull squashed almost instantly. I take a bow to your ability, Eberhard.

Monsieur Haricot, welcome to MSW. I hope your first project is a total success.

NAIAD 1797 by Bitao - 1:60

Beautiful ship's wheel, Bitao, They're not easy to make, very well done. -
Another great photo, MCB. Why/how is the inside of that stack so clean? The barges in the background would make a good secondary subject.

Gary, I check on it about every three hours. Glen, the only thing I've ever seen are brass plaques, never a builders plate and I'm not sure there was such a thing for a ship? Maybe Roger knows? I have no idea why you would think I would suggest making a builder's plate for your SIB Roger, I'm keeping a close eye on it but I don't want to reach out to the seller just yet. I'll give it another four or five days and then I'll message him and try to start a dialog. I've got some trade items that hopefully we might be able to come to agreement on.

Gary, I don't know? Considering market expectations the Madawaska piece it isn't really that far out of line. The below eBay link being a prime example. I know that it's for a total locomotive and not just a part of one but still......... If you search eBay for "builders plate" locomotive or ship you get some eye watering prices. Maybe I'm just a dinosaur out of touch with today's world. https://www.ebay.com/itm/232924686557?hash=item363b64a8dd:g:x1oAAOSwGVJba4fP&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8CLdGfZQPQ7CNPs7qiVQsorLtBuvDJSI9TFNv2IJ5srA3a22ePWm4yj2hoqSkrf1DgZZ8TtCuCMfHh2SHEJ%2Bn2GVnIAoScXqZOkpRG%2B0cnIFi4AVNt9rnFo910RqXTuv6adS1ySNsCalMR7iQjycjiW3Dmp89o4x%2F9mBCmBqHawlYsPJLvV6Yu9NT6dMHC%2F57J6wwSZygNqIWJHnahy%2BOAmMQ9t%2Fj3WiXILKbl3UCXlEACrhpc2hJasQQSwgXAzI6pOjyhe4njKzcVaBzcTHIb02O8S6oyc%2Bo%2BLgV66qeWDND8o3yt5o4lQHlQF5V3jBvg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBM1rL1paNg A little more reasonable whatever reasonable is. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143618948360?hash=item21705b3d08:g:wocAAOSwazte0uyl

This is supposedly a 1863 photo of the USS Vermont. It doesn't't look like any models of the Vermont so who knows. What's interesting is the lack of gun tracks for those heavy monsters. I think it's just an interesting photo of a ship from that time period.

Glen, it's off a forty gallon tank of some sort and could have been anyplace on the ship. Hot water tank, fresh water tank for cooking, drinking or a holding tank for the galley, offices wash rooms. whoever was making up these tags/plates must have made up about a quarter of a million dollars worth of em for all the tanks onboard.
