Wreck of Bonhomme Richard found off Yorkshire coast.
Jim Rogers replied to uss frolick's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I think they meant the dive site was visible from a cliff. They were indicating how close to shore it was. -
Beautiful work continues David!

Tung Oil "Experiment"
Jim Rogers replied to knightyo's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
I throw my solvent soaked rags in a bucket of water. -
Sounds like a great idea. I personally think the stand looks original in concept and I know I would purchase one.

I’m thinking you are correct with including the two lap joint versions.
-
What I am asking is that the tick strip used on 3 Port would be the same tick strip used on 3 Stbd.
-
The tick strips should be able to be used on both sides correct?

Welcome aboard.

For the bulkheads I sanded and test fit them in the assembly stand as I went along. Took me two days to build all the frames. Then I assembled the keel assembly to the frame assemblies. I did two test runs and the two assemblies actually went together quite well on the first one. I said HMMMM that has NEVER happened before so something must be wonky so I took it apart, put it back together. Same result. So I added glue to the mix and wouldn't you know it...........Same result. This is one finely engineered and cut kit. Bravo Zulu Chuck. Fairing will have to wait a few days as the Admiral and I are off to Victoria BC for the weekend.

Next I started on the bulkheads and frames. I removed the extra keel parts and used them as a sanding guide prior to assembly. For the floors I cleaned off the inside char and then sanded the "V" down to fit snugly in the notch.
-
I decided on the Lap joint so I broke out my chisels and had at it.Taking a cue from Ken W I made a copy of the keel bolts, taped on in the appropriate spot and then going against the grain, placed it on a sacrifice piece of wood and drilled all the way through, glued in the fishing line and set it aside.

Looks great. Huge improvement on the kit cannons.

Chris your Buff is Buff. Showing my ignorance what exactly is a card model.
-
Chuck I am having problems with the small pieces of wood added to the frames for strength. Do they go over the laser cut at the top or just above it ? Are they removed with refuse when the frames are separated from the build board?
-
Picked up the kit at the Post Office, did an inventory and had trouble de-cypering some of the markings on the sheets. So I did a count, counts right so moving on. Got the scarf joint done and keel glued up. Will post pictures when I have more accomplished. I have an issue with builds. I really, really like to get them built and get to the rigging so I tend to hurry. A friend described as a building machine. My goal on this one is to slow down and be more precise.
