texxn5 got a reaction from mtaylor in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
Hello Chance, good to see you back. I try to take as many pictures as possible. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words". I don't post them all here, but instead try to show a broader picture of where I'm at and then if someone needs details or is working on a point I've covered they can refer to my website for the details. This way I don't bore people who only wish to see an update and not how I got there.
Thanks and good luck with yours. You should start a log here on MSW.
John

Hi John,
Wow, it's getting busy in there mate, your camera certainly picks up the details really well. I've seen her in a different light and she's beautiful.
Your getting a ship you can be really proud of, well done mate.
Be Good

Actually, this photo is a better close up. It is the Cutting In tackle.

Managed to finish all the Halyards and Downhauls. Time to move to the Braces. Here's a picture or two, gets hard to distinguish what's what with all the lines running. Gets tight for clumbsy fingers.
Details are on my website for those interested.

Hello, I'm back in the shipyard. I should get started on the Braces tonight. My Christmas gift to myself is a camera that can take Macro close up pictures. Somewhat late for this project, but - who knows? I'm posting a picture of the Foremast and yard to see how it works and if the resolution is correct for this format.

Hi George, yeah, I'm used to cameras with lots of functions, but this is only my second Nikon, so the symbols are different...just a slight learning curve. Like you say, most of this stuff I won't ever use. I never learned all the functions of my last one, but I did get 14 years out of it, and if I hadn't loaned it to a guy it would probably still be ok.

Hi Grant, good to see you. How's the drawplate? I think I might like this camera....

Hello J T, it's a Nikon s9900 - about 10,000 times smarter than I am, so I have a learning curve to go through. I'm eventually going to get caught up as I am very behind having to leave again for 2 weeks, but I'm back now and ready to go. Thanks for stopping by.

Real nice pic John. Really shows off that detail. Don't be too intimidated with the latest technology. It's still just a camera, and unless you're into professional photography, a lot of that new stuff, you won't have to mess with.
