Just catching up...tremedous progress Haken - both the build and yourself! That photo down the frames gives a real sense of the shape of the hull- very elegant. -
Mark's advice sounds very good to me. I know exactly what you mean Keith; had the same problem myself. I used the Admiral's Lumix to take some of my shots, and on automatic focus or flash I got the same results as you when close-up to the subject - (well actually yours are a deal better than mine to be fair). Then, under patient tuition, (as I am clueless on this really) I was shown how to put the thing in to 'aperture priority mode' and increase the indirect lighting (reflecting my anglepoise lamp off a white sheet) whilst making the aperture smaller. After a bit of trial an error I did get a passable improvement. Here's a snap taken on auto... ...and one with 'the method': If yours has the same button, it might be worth a go. Failing that others who really understand cameras will surely chip in!

As this log continues to have folks viewing it, I thought I'd post a link to the Louis Sauzedde 'Tips from a Shipwright' channel. He has begun the build of a full size replica of Orca, with a new post today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYuVwXPwcy0&ab_channel=TipsfromaShipwright

Yes, I've referenced some in the build, but most came from the movie. You may find this helpful https://movie-screencaps.com/jaws-1975/.

If only brass was magnetic! Great work Roger.

Just read your log for the first time Keith; so very sorry to learn of your loss, and feel bad that I didn't take the time to follow your build until now. So pleased that you find comfort in this community, and I add my condolences to those above. I can't begin to imagine how you feel, but I do think that getting on with pratical things at a time of loss is a very good way of keeping some sense of normality and purpose; and your boat is the most wonderful creation. I will keep following from now on, and my very best wishes to you and your family.

Thanks for the kind words Chris. Look forward to seeing your build - you'll find plenty of support from the community here if you choose to post a log. Good luck!

Great job Keith - very classy looking launch. I think the rib looks fine, authentic to the original, so that's OK with me. However I know which one I'd take to the seafood restaurant in the marina...

How did I miss these final pictures - and the fly rod; just perfect! This would grace any display cabinet. Well done Gary!

Ha! A man after my own heart. I built a seagull for a Corrib Lough boat project afew years back. 2HP of reliable power. And you can start one with your belt.

That's a very accomplished build Gary, love the clean lines, details and weathering. Would love to be the paying guest (with a fishing rod) in this fine boat!

Oh I like this approach very much. Are you going to pin the planking to the ribs eventually?
-
Indeed it is! Sounds like very positive news Hakan, pleased to hear it.
