Very nice work there Chuck.  Great to see the introduction of new media and alternate methods in your development of these new kits.

 Kudos.

cheers

Pat

Impressive work Glen, I think you have a very near match for the ocean colour you were shooting for.  If you go down the path of water from the bottle's mouth, perhaps some clear nylon fishing line CA'd to the mouth of the bottle would provide a starting framework/ligature for the water?

cheers

Pat

Nicely executed Dave; the scuppers look good.

The best beer in the world is made relatively close to where Glen lives, Shiner Bock,

Big call Keith - I'll stay away from that debate   - Luckily I stick to good ol' rum (Bundaberg preferably)

Looking good Keith; you're well and truly down the rigging path now.

cheers

Pat

Up to your usual very high-quality joinery work Richard; slowly coming along very nicely.

cheers

Pat

You're welcome to the Fosters Glen but I will try to warn you off that exported 'dishwater' .  That diorama is starting to look really good.

cheers

Pat

That looks soooo good Glen, a great outcome for your painting efforts.

cheers

Pat

For a hull made from no plans that looks pretty good.  Probably too late to add some additional filling/backing behind the ply to satisify those 'starving cows'; but if needed you can always glue a second layer in the 'holllows/flats to fill those areas out before sanding?

cheers

Pat

Visually stunning and a great testament to your skills Keith.

But she was gradually groomed for this by all the brass parts orders from Europe for my recent static display model ships. 😄

Ah so that's the trick - gradual grooming - puts paid to my 'shock and awe' approach   

Looking really good Ian, those line look really good; you must have put considerable effort into the fairing?

cheers

Pat

That is a very nicely detailed model; especially at the scale you are working at Eberhard.  Impressive!

cheers

Pat

You're making great progress and she is looking great Keith.  Very nice!

cheers

Pat

I have somehow missed this delightful build Chuck; looks great and up to your usual very high standard.

cheers

Pat

That's looking really good Steven, the sails and increasingly dense web of rigging is really adding interesting detail to show her off.  Hat is 'doffed' for such great detail in such a small scale of working.

cheers

Pat

Hi Glen, I am sure you understood I was simply 'stirring the porridge' so to speak  BUT, will be tickled pink if you do.  You are developing a very interesting diorama and presentation of your latest creation.

cheers

Pat

That's looking so good Glen; you could get a second job in movie model making.

cheers

Pat

Looks good!  Nice use of the tools to achieve this nice crisp bit of joinery.

cheers

Pat

Looks great Steven, a creative solution.  Do you have any concerns that the PVA may be affected by humidity in the future?

cheers

Pat

I'll hopefully stay away from any inuendo and simply say your creations are looking great Glen .  Oh, and I still think a couple of spears sticking out of those creations will look great    Sorry, couldn't help it., my fingers just kept typing.

cheers

Pat

I hope all works out well for you Richard.  this will be one eye-popping sight to see with the mechanism in place and working the oars.

cheers

Pat

Looking good Vlad, those carvings came up really well.

cheers 

Pat

Great info Bruce, thanks.  It helps to clarify some of the issues.  Seems this Uni has a decent Maritime/Naval Archeology department as Mark Staniforth is a Professor here and he had produced a couple of papers on this subject also.

cheers

Pat

I hope it arrives soon Harry; hopefully all in good working order -- no trouble with mine as it was well packaged.

cheers

Pat

That's a very interesting find Druxey, thanks.

cheers
