A real luncheon topic if all else fails ... hope your back is bearable again ... quite remarkable what you have done so far ... you do have those oeps moments too ...

Dick, with reference to you statement: Without these wedges at deck level, the strain on the mast foot would lead to early failure. How do you explain the fact that the wedges were sometimes taken out to increase speed? At least that is something I read about ... (unfortunately age didn't help me remembering where)

I would prefer to hear the Blues Brothers' version ... Soft solder Steve. That should do the trick. You only need the top bar soldered on 4 points, the remainder you can do with CA.

Darn, you up to multiple builds too! Where do you find the time ... It is good to clear your head by doing something entirely different Mark () As usual I'm late, must be the French hour I maintain dilligently. Now I have to thank Grant for taking that last front row seat. I see you have your knowledgable, and resourcefull crowd gathered ........, so I will refrain interfering. I see druxey has a point (pun intended) the rounded top of the gammon. Sometiomes we just overlook the obvious ...

what's the grain on the beltsander if you don't mind me asking? -
Hear him, another worst self critic ... very lovely work again, dispite the frustration of the redodelidum from your 7-10-7 jig

You should be able to accomplish that. Either you start with a base layer of redish-brown and add (diluted) layers if the greyish/blue and streaks of white, or add diluted redish/brown spots on the metal parts ... I'll be waiting ...

Indeed, as I said as well, druxey. That's why I have, amongst others, invested in a Tilt Shift lens, a very ingeneous piece of engineering ... you really should have a try with that for architectural photography. Here we can rent a lens ... it is a nice wat to try befor you buy, or just to use it when you need it sporadically and are not willing to invest in such a lens Althoug, there are situations one can't ... Nice blade Gaetan -
Ahum .... well ... unfortunately ... I am presently ... maybe do a step back and refocus ...? So far you have done a good job

druxey, I know I could straighten a line in e.g. Adobe Photoshop, but it would diminish the quality of the image, and reate other - maybe not immediately apperent - distortions. I am not pro image manipulation, in fact I am against it, but that is personal as is the reason behind that. To get the best image as a source, i.e. before any manipulation, will make the end result better too, That is quite simple to say, but to accomplish ... another story. That's why I like Gaetan's build log, both model wise, as photographic wise, he delivers a wealth of information, and throws up questions I wouldn't think of otherwise -

Gaetan, The deformation a the front of the ship in the picture, it will always occur, but will it with every lens? What about a "tilt & shift" lens. It does happen in reality too, e.g. when you paint something on the floor and stand off far enough it will get shorter, our eyes' optical illusion -

only this person does it somewhat longer ... VAC orsair -
OC, instead of adding light streaks to the anchor, have you thought about dark ones ... now the metal looks like wood ...

Well dispite your poor camera, crappy lighting, and terrible background, you've got a great model. Well done. I will certainly follow your endeavours on your next build
-
Marvelous build, RGL, another star in your collection. Again improvement on your paint, and weathering techniques. Less invading, and even more realistic, if that was at all possible. Add some B&W photographs ... I would like to see what she looks like compared tp the real "thing"

I understand, it was just an observation

Beautiful details, Phil. Very ingenious way of making the sheaves. Instead of a triangular file you could have used a round one, as sheaves tend to be hollow shaped. Still very crisp work
-
Steve, In general I could say that you would best take the top off before turning her over and let the flow go. However, with regards to the upper decks when sailing, you do not really need them, since the helmsman is onshore - there is a Dutch proverb which accentuates the prowes of those onshore fanatics: The best helmsmen are onshore (figures with RC) You could make it a safety porthole .. a few more bars and you've got "a view from the brig" ...
