Thank you Jon for your detailed log regarding your processes to build this model. I am looking forward to watching you create yet another magnificent diorama on the exploration of the arctic. John

Amazing Keith, truly a work of art. 😎
-
Continuing my Redjacket build @ 1/192. A clipper ship is a lot to rig at that scale. John
-
They are called fairy lights. Got mine at “The Dollar Store”. Cheap…. Here are some on Amazon with a remote. https://a.co/d/dAwlqKf

Finishing the Cargo Deck… Lighting, doors, windows and stairs completed on the Cargo Deck. Main (Cargo) Deck complete. Onwards/Upwards to the Saloon Deck. Cheers 🍻

Thank you Keith for inspiring me to continue working in small scale. 🙏
-
Great 👍 Can’t wait… No pressure 😆
-
This viewer can certainly see the difference. Excellent work Kieth! IMHO Cheers 🍻
-
Second staircase… Time to finish the lower deck lighting and painting… Cheers 🍻
-
Wow… I love your staircase, glad I popped in to follow this build can’t wait to see your paddle wheels on this build. I thought my 1/96 scale staircase was difficult, your work is certainly an inspiration. Well done. 👍
-
Thank you Jon, I am find challenges at every turn. I only post my final successful version. LOL 😆 This micro carpentry can be tough. 🤪 Merry Christmas 🎄 Thank you. Kieth… Merry Christmas to ALL CHEERS🍻
-
Thanks Kieth… Here’s a close up of the stair construction. Kinda shows the step by step method I use. LOL 😆 I have got to go look up your latest build and follow along on that one too. John PS… 1/96 is really close to HO Rail Roading. If you know what I mean. 😉
-
Sorry Ian… Not likely LOL 😆 Last time I did furniture at 1/96 was on my USS Constitution. Hasn’t been seen since I finished her.
-
Painted staircase and templated walls for second staircase… Cheers 🍻
-
Stairs to the Saloon Deck… 1 of 2 stairs done… Cheers 🍻
-
Thanks Mike I do appreciate you being my guy on the scene. You can keep an eye on my build and let me know how I am doing. I really don’t think I will need any more photos until maybe we see some progress on the restoration efforts, which I am sure won’t be until spring. Meanwhile a drive by would be sufficient, stay in your jeep. 🥶
-
As she should… No worries, I think I have the pics I need. Maybe next spring, when it gets up to Zero 😆 BTW… those pictures were great, they got me to this point. Thanks I have been in -40 degree weather on Indian Moutain in Alaska at an Air Force Radar site. What are your windchills? We had signs posted that said exposed flesh would freeze in 5 seconds. No body was making any yellow snow. LOL 😆 Frosted my bronchial tubes snow showing into a radio beacon shack. Fun times, stay warm my friend.

Back on the Klondike… Main Deck walls, windows and doors completed… Cheers 🍻

Hi Bob, Looks great… You have done that kit justice. Nice 👍 FYI… I’m building one of these kits for a friend who bought it 50 years ago for her father’s birthday. He never started it before he passed and she kept in the attic untouched until now. No pressure LOL 😆 I used Model Expo Hull Red… It’s a lot darker.

Ian, just some vintage black thread from an old kit. (Sewing thread) Use single half hitch knots only and ‘fray check” to keep it from bing fuzzy. https://www.michaels.com/product/dritz-fray-check-liquid-seam-sealant-10112538 Cheers 🍻
-
Dare I say it, “Ratlines”… …and so it begins. Cheers 🍻
