Do you think you could get a picture with your hand showing close to, or touching the boat? It would be great to get a better sense of perspective. -
Focus Stacking
Gregory replied to Dennis P Finegan's topic in Photographing your work. How to do this.
@modeller_masa Looks like you are going to way too much trouble for me at this stage in life, but I defer to your expertise. Your methods produce some interesting results. I'll try to present some examples from my fairly low-end Panasonic DC-FZ80K. -
Focus Stacking
Gregory replied to Dennis P Finegan's topic in Photographing your work. How to do this.
Glenn, there seems to be two sets of approach going on here. BrochBoating is referring to cameras that have a post editing feature built into the camera, where you get a stacked image saved in the camera. In my Panasonic it takes 40 images ( a video actually ) in one second, while advancing the focus from near to far. It then compiles them into a single image. The results are so-so in my opinion, but I may not be utilizing the feature to it's greatest advantage. I'm not sure what modeller_masa is on about. I think he is moving the subject and or the camera. That said, knowing your photography expertise, and having seen your work, I'm sure you are using a method that produces superior results. -
Focus Stacking

Some (?) Panasonic cameras have this feature also, and the merging takes place in the camera. Chances are, a higher end camera and post processing could result in a better result, but I have found it works pretty good at my level of expertise. -
Maybe this will help. A snip from the NMM lines. I think it is close to the drawings in the MS Plans P.S. I'm measuring about 5degrees at the waterline and 10 at the quarter deck which I think would be easier to set with a template on the quarter deck.
-
I can give you the angle from the NMM lines, but it will be later today.

Just saw at ModelExpo the price is $1,199. They are offering some other discounts that amount to free shipping for a total in my cart of $1,148. I still would not be interested at any price, but that might soften the blow for anyone who is interested.

I don't think that gap would exist on this type of ship. It would be similar to something like this on the Winchelsea. You might also look at how the rails are laid out on Winchelsea. Don't try to duplicate it. Just follow the general layout. There are a lot of different views in Chuck's Winchelsea log.

Does Fusion 360 do all the toolpath plotting that those other programs do? I'll have to dig into it if it does.. No sense in having two tools for the same job.. -

Here's a nice demo with Vcarve -
That " Solid Oak " stand base is a little anticlimactic..

FWIW I found a contemporary model in the Gallery that shows shrouds in pairs: There are several other models but I couldn't really tell. I can't tell on the Cheerful model, but Chuck chose to go with pairs, and I think he saw the model in person. Petersson. shows pairs. I trust Goodwin had good reason to go with single. P.S. Sails The cutter models I have seen with full sails looked somewhat clunky to me, and really detracted from the over-all look. In your case, I think they would really detract from all of your fine work.

Great info Allan What I find interesting is that the article says it is thousands of feet deep, yet in the picture we see a scuba diver and substantial ambient lighting. Obviously not a picture of the wreck. Of course the video depicts a very different environment. Why can't the media do better than that.

Dangerous? Any good saw is dangerous. How well does it work?

Just to add a little to the discussion. Here is a video that shows what a program like Meshcam could add to the CNC workflow, even with the lower end desktop machines. At $250 for the standard version, it's probably less than you would spend on decent carving bits. -
How has it performed under load? What kind of load?
-
If I may, and Chuck will correct me if I'm wrong, The bits closest to the fore mast are for handling rigging, the riding bits, just aft, are for handling the anchor cables.

Chances are, it won't be someone who has read or understood your comments in this topic..

@wefalck Excellent points, but when you address all the shortcomings of the KS230 , you now have an FET costing $300 .more. Forgive the cliche, but you can't have your cake and eat it too..
-
That is a very low end machine.. 85 watts. It burns up because people try to get off cheap then use it for jobs it is not designed for.

Looks really good!

Very much so. The Proxxon has a micrometer style fence adjustment that makes it superior to the MicroLux in that respect. A plus for the MicroLux is the variable speed, but I prefer using the Proxxon. If you get either one of them you will want to get this arbor adapter so you can use a lot of 3rd party blades with1/2" arbor. The Proxxon and Microlux blades are way over priced. I get my blades at Malco Saw Company. There are also compatible blades on Amazon with the 1/2" arbor. If you need more info just ask.

I had the Microlux/Micromark saw before I acquired the FET , and I'm pretty sure the Proxxon wasn't available at the time, over 20 years ago. I would suspect that Proxxon looked at the Microlux and refined it a bit. They may have even had some kind of collaboration going on. P.S. Just saw somewhere that the Proxxon and Microlux are made in the same factory in Japan, so I believe they probably share some components.

Experienced modelers won't be interested, but there are lots of beginners who will be all over this.

Thanks much for the compliment. That's from my Resolution build. You can click in my signature. It's on hold since the cat thought it was a toy.. Nothing that can't be fixed, but it sort of took the wind out of my sails on that project.. The stem, keel and rudder is yellow heart. Lower hull planking is walnut veneer. The deck is from maple veneer that I cut with a laser, which also gives the caulking effect. Deck furniture and masting is cherry. The exception to my "no paint" preference, is the stove pipe. The wales were done with black ink and the gunports were done with red mahogany stain. Here is a wider shot of the hull.
