I am missing the Mary Rose..... Greg, you should be able to solve that problem, not so certain about the OCD though, that is a modeller's syndrom. I bet you say that to yourself each time you buy new tools, or a new kit for that matter ... (I do !)

Well there is a HUGHE difference ... Not so much plywood on the hull in my version, just the hull above, and on the decks ... I had to plank the entire hull. If you install the bow thruster, you should do it before you close the hull. Take care you install it so you still can reach it to attach the electric motor!!!

Will do, I see you solved the first one already, all by yourself

Like Sjors, I have built this boat. The drawings look quite different, not surprisingly though, I built her over 30 yrs ago. I will look forward to see your endeavours take form !!
-
You are right, it fell back to the worst state ... Your ratlines, however, look rather promising!!!
-
Muito bem, obrigado! So you took a headstart on yourself, as we say. Although, wood is a more practical building material when it comes to redos, I would advise contrary to your high speed building Looking forward to your updates Ciao

Tudo bem? Had to run to catch up, Vivian. I see you are building me with a twist and have resolved the camera issue you had previously. Please, don't move before you've finished this build!

I meant for the dummy enigne, but that will take to long. Try balsa, easily shaped ...

One of the nice things about wood, is the possibility to correct one's mistakes without a lot of fuss. Nice recuperation, Gerhard. That plug will cost you some sweat, sanding it by hand ...

Like the weathering, Mr Bunny. Wonderful model. How could I have missed this build ...

Mass production started. Looks very impressive, Nils. Not much to correct as far as I can see from this side. It's stunning to see how much detail you can preserve with this method of replication. Wonderful work!!

Clare, It is "The Genius Of Japanese Carpentry" by S. Azby Brown, Kodansha International, ISBN 0-87011-897-8 It's about the (re)construction of a hall within the Yakushiji monastry, lots of drawings and pictures, and of course tidbits of knowledge ... Like the construction of the roof timbers, a bit of brass too! -
Nice find Mr Bunny, thanks for the information, for now I stick to my piece of hot rod

Yeah right, a similar kind a humor ... you shouldn't look up from downunder mate. Let me look up to that marvelous result. I like that weathered deck. The black was indeed a bit to black, nearly like freshly painted, and untrodden. If you say eight months, it sure as h*ll didn't feel that way. I have enjoyed your posts trememdously, and really did look forward to the next update. You got my interest rekindled with the build of the Dreadnought, and I was pleasantly surprised you started the Yamato as I had the Musashi waiting on ... yupz PE. I found a new respect for plastic modelling with the after market update sets. It really is a challenge. Very well done on the weathering too, I'll skip that step in my build! I'll advance one step at the time ... She really looks the magnificent ship she was in all her splendour, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Hello Piet! Long time no read my friend. Building another sub!!! You are becoming our deep sea guru! Anything special, or still a BIG secret? Thanks for passing by I thought it rather mistifying ... or should I say blurring ... The back is a lot better, I wish I could be tortured a bit longer by that lovely physiotherapist. She had a good hand in manipulating muscle tissue! I can twist and shout again, not as supple as 30 years ago, but movement without pain is back Nearly ready to prime the hull ... I found that using a piece of thin brass rod works far better to apply CA than a touthpick. You can burn off any build up glue from it with a lighter, which is very practicle!!!
-
Throw them on ... might try that one. Watch out you won't shake 'em off. Just wondered, as it was rather shiny in the image ...
-
You are in a hurry, RGL! It really is going fast these last few kilometers. Looks spiffy though. Will you keep the planes in lacquered condition, or do you plan to spray them with flat varnish ... Now I can't wait to see her finished!!

NIce build, Clare. I've got a book on Japanese temple construction. Somewhere along the line they state that some joins have a 1 - 2 mm space which will set flush in a century ... those temples are still made with an increadible precision, unable to do with modern machinery, or the knowledge from ages hence -
Mick, as long as you have fun is what matters most, but that is something you already know. You have got one of those workshop gobblers too!!! I would expect the gobbler to grow, but he, or she is still invisible size wise It's an expensive piece of workshop equipment!! Cheers

That depends, Greg. Do you mount her on the base in the centre or off centre ... You could have one boom extended if off centre. I have been pondering on how to display her (yes, already, not even a single coat of primer yet), considering the "extensions" like the boat boom, and the boats, and an idea is emerging ... that, however, is for a future post
