Okay Bob, you have me confused. After the work you put in with using the claw technique, now your dead eyes are rigged with rope. What's the story?
-
Was the "claw" technique widely used? This is the first I have seen it used.
-
If you did not use the provided planks, what did you use? I would think most builders would go with the provided planks.

Thanks for such a thorough review. I had an offer on buying this one on eBay and wanted to checkout build logs first. I don't see this one as worth my time such a small solid hull model.

What an amazing amount of knowledge on Model woods I have just seen! Has anyone an opinion on American locust for use?
-
Gunmakers use micro chisel sets for carving relief mouldindings on gun stocks. Maybe those sets could help.
-
XJust a thought. Have you tried a Dremel with an extremely fine abrasive polishing wheel? Very light touch required.
-
You chose Billing Boats. why? Do you have a link for your jig?
-
With these changes you are making, are you still following the AL instructions?
-
SNice wok on the deck.

Are you working AutoCAD in 2D? AutoCAD Mechanical lets you work in 3D. Draw your part in planar and use the extrude command to create the third dimension for a solid part.

Thanks and done..

I've had those on other media such as AOL. Nigeria is well known for criminal activity on the web. Phishing doesn't work with me. Those I can respond to, I let know they should cease and desist or else!

I reviewed that post and the forum does not provide a means to edit or eliminate the post. I have been attacked before on other media sites so it would be nothing new. I shifted my email to my profile under one of those listed media sites.

Am I seeing this right? The bow sprit looks off center to the centerline of the keel.

Nice job on the barrels. But I believe you may be a bit misguided in labeling them as gunpowder. The last thing a gun crew would want next to their cannons when fighting is a barrel of gunpowder that could accidentally be exploded by sparks from their cannons or an enemy ship. These barrels would have been stored deep in the ship's hold away from any chance of explosion. More likely they could contain water for swabbing the barrels between shots to extinguish any burning embers before loading the next charge of black powder. I was a member of a cannon crew and have experience running a cannon during historical reenactments and live fire target competitions.

Bill. Are you retired Navy? I lived in NL from 78'-2000'.
-
Did you ever consider using a heated plank bender?
-
Tough break on the parts snapping. But you found a way to solve it.
-
Looks great! What a tough fit!
-
Why are you holding out for the Amati?
-
Looks like a great ship!
