Knocklouder

Well the machine is frozen, -27 with the wind chill, snowing and someone forgot to plug in the diesel tractor . They won't start if not plugged in , mine anyway  lol.

  So guess it's a model day lol. Cutting up peices for the Mainrail, and cap. Hopeing to get that done today.  Talk soon stay warm my friends. lol

Awesome model, great details  too. You must be so happy 😊. 

Hi, I can't  seem to see the pictures  either 😕.   Also can't seem to see any mistakes as well, lol great model. As for space, put  grin on your face , build it , start a raffle  5 bucks for one ticket, 3 for 10 bucks. Donate the money to MSW.  I won't buy one because MSW would not stand for me getting  a free Pegasus  And winning  a Fly. LOL  😆 

Really nice work, well done my friend!!!!!

Jump right in, those masters will help you with anything just ask. Yes start a build log of your ship or boat,  Most of all have fun building  cause it only gets funner and funner   You'll  SEE !!

Well not much to post,  started the bow, and the capping of the hand rail. It all looked good when finished, but today the port side handrail has lifted, I will just patch  and paint that part,because it's to much to take it all apart. I will fix it lol.

  My worries are that  MSW and the NRG will band me pretty soon as I can't seem to do things historical correct, LOL.

 I am finding a few mistakes  in the plan, again the picture on the box , the plan it self and building instructions  are all different.  Big  problems  for someone who has to look at pictures to see how its done. As well  there are parts missing,  but I can make those,  they are for the  the anchor lines. Small parts,  but they aren't there lol.

  Now I have to put those tiny little  1×1 on the sides . Talk soon take care everyone  stay safe.

😪  There are no words I can say. He help me improve my models. I am heart broken R I P   Good Bye BOB

Having fun, doing good work, and building things you can be proud of….a perfect trifecta! 

You know I had to look up Trifecta lol

 Well I have made this stand for my Mayflower, and put it on.  I made a few mistakes  but it will do. That famous  line comes to mind  Next ship. Lol .

  Planking is finished,  sealed and mounted. And I like it!!. 

  The buffffet is my new model  stand, I think I can get the three Columbus  and the Mayflower, not sure if the Viking  long boat will fit in there to but we will see lots of time before that. The  green carpet will go and I will come up with something better.  The Sea of Galalie boat  will go behind the curtain, I will add a plexiglass  front. As for the Pegasus,  it will get its own case and replace our flowers here.

  Having way to much fun building this ship. And now all the fun stuff,doors ladders, little life boat,up until the rigging,  seizing,and sails lol 

 Well thats it for now, 

ps  Chuck I tried, maybe next time 😆 

  Happy modeling everyone 

wow That looks really cool and great details to, I am just learning how to plank as well, my first model I used an iron to  bend the planks then I got an electric  plank bender it works really well for me. A little heat and they start to bend.

    That is some nice work.

Lots of people here who are willing to help, all you got to do is ask. Jump right in, and always remember Have fun building what ever you build.

Looking good and record speed too!

It's the kit lol

This model is so much fun, on to the port side. It is coming along nicely I think, for anyone who makes this one I would block the first 3 bulkheads and the last 3 as well. I read that after I finished my planking that it helps keep its shape, next one lol.

   I  really need to learn how to plank right , The Pegasus is coming up, and I want that one to be just right, not it will do stuff that I am making now  lol

    This kit for those who can plank better than I can is amazing.  You get to bend planks on just  the bulkheads I much prefer  two layers of planking. And I only started on the 12 th of November  I am scaring my self  🙃 😅.  See you when the other side is finished

Dave she looking really good, I like the way you Rattlesnake builders do things  if I didn't buy so many models I would get this one lol. Buy an airbrush, join me down the rabbit hole  lol 

Great Job!!!! You nailed it.  I use a shop vac with a hepa filter and bag, works great for dust and particles, fumes not that great but for dust its great. I hook it up to everything. 

Yes the original six were the best, I always been a Blackhawks fan, but cheer for the Winnipeg Jets,mostly if they are not playing the Hawks. LOL.

   I have finished coating the bottom hull,and temporarily put it on the stand to see what it would look like. I like it. Now more planking, the top half of the hull has thinner  strips, once those are on I  will seal it all with shellac sealer. Then on to the bow,that looks like fun I can't wait. 

Welcome back, your ship is awesome, I have this one to do (someday). .Nice work I wil be looking at this log often , I am sure.

LOL  😆  I am 3 for 3, this morning I shook my Mayflower and yep it rattles lol

Well I got to  where I wanted to be it's only primer on the bottom. I wanted to make  a water line but the space between the whalers and the white was to narrow, and I did not think it was worth the effort. So I drew the bottom  whaler line on and went in the middle.We will see how it lines up later lol I still have some filling to do but not that much . This really is a fun model but as I look up on the self the crew of the Pinta calls lol, How quickly they forget they  had a mutiny , kick the builder out and hired a better one .  So they can wait Lol .  Well look at the time I am on the night shift lol Good night and Thanks for everyone's help and likes, 

 This is the place to be, as you know, lots will help along the way  Happy. Building!! 

Amazing detail,very nice ship. Someday I hope I will be able to plank like you ,very nice job.
