magnificent result, Mick, though it does have a slight blue-ish sheen with the glass ... like the display case too! versatile fellow you! -
Grant, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. As some others, I to have been traveling that road and know the hardships, and the pain. It is good to have happy memories, I still can get very emotional when I think about my last horse ... I presume a dog is even closer, for me that is probably to long ago ... All the best to you and your family

Jim, Don't bother tto tidy up. It has it's charms(!!!) Looking good though
-
Mark, You 'nailed' those bends in the stern planking. 'Lovely job my boy' ;-) You have some serious adzing, and shaving to do ... I'll sit back, relax, and enjoy the master at work ..!
-
Dan, Not just a great modeling result but a true work of art ... she does show your prowes, or should I say versatility in all sorts of materials ... Cheers
-
Your boat should be 12 cm on that scale which would be 1/3. They do look a like though, a few differences which show they aren't as long. Mainly visible at the 'stern' part of them ...

Sorry to hear about this setback/rip off, Jack. I know thin copper sheet is sold from the roll. Maybe you could get some of that and work on it yourself ...?
-
Nice! Another page added to your 'Howto build a ships boat'. I'm enjoying every step of the way
-
Glad to know you're still a live and kicking!!! Cheers
-
Siggi, After this build you will be master model door maker, and panel specialist. It may be a lot of work, but pose yourself the question: "Could you have lived with it knowing it should be done different ..." I say worth the extra mile, Siggi, it shows your prowes
-
Mark, Soon you are ready to write your own dissertation on the subject!!! Keep the information flowing ...

Grant, Just one thing to remember ... don't let the internal disk fill up to it's maximum ... you'll end up with a 'frozen' PC ... P.s. 2 TB ain't much for movie storage ...

Grant, What is more important: Movies or Model building ... So that will define the required space on your harddisk ... Maybe a bigger disk is in order ... or add one ... double the fun

Patrick, I posed the question in view of the difference in strength and flexibility between plain paper and e.g. tissue paper when used not glued ... Thanks!
-
Jack, My condolences to you and your wife. It never is easy, even if you know it may happen any moment due to age or health ... I hope she has lived a full life with her family and friends. Take care driving ..

Candles Mobbsie, or a lanthorn ... should keep it in style with the fireplace, right ... Patrick, Firsdt of all: Enjoy your holiday. You did take your miniature build with you ...? So you can still keep us entertained ... did you!? Why tissue paper and not i.g. plain paper, or for that matter rice paper ...

Decoyman, have a look here: http://www.hobbymillusa.com/wood-species-pear.php Johann, The only thing I can see which is unfinished on the exterior are those huge screws and pieces of wood which keeps it to the mold. I am just as curious as you how it will come off and what the interior will look like! I'll keep my fingers crossed it'll come off smoothly ... P.s. Did you waxed the mold ...?
-
Real smooth and looking sharp, Johann!!!
-
Ah, but you would be transmitting constantly and the servo's would be using your batteries power. I would use a small motor to shorten and lengthen as required ... considering the size of your build, you do have some space below decks for that ... Cheers
-
Dan, Sharp and detailed jet again. Nice to know you do have limits working with the lathe ... although ... it's more something like metal fatigue ... Very nice job on the handle, must be ... 2 mm wide like?

Jon, As Mark wrote: Don't keep your backup attached ... well you found that out ... I didn't loose my files, though I had a mainboard crash (PC) ... always look forward to that ... Currently getting things back in order. You know you can buy another mainboard, add memory, processor (if required a graphics card) and add your old disk drives. It will start up, look for new hardware drivers, the ones it can't find ... you just feed the CD from the new board and you're ready to go ... It does take some time - even if it sounds that easy. Furthermore, I want to speed up that PC too, so I'll be trying to get my c: disk copied to a Solid State Disk ... curious as to whether that will work ... In the mean time, I'll tinker on an old laptop, which needs constant feeding (sounds like a babe!!)
