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.

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.

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 Bob M.

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,

Me again, what I see, you need a really sharp wood scraper, take the high edges off ever so slightly then sand you will be good, you are close to perfection my friend

Hello, this is what I do , careful maybe not the best ideal lol, I use a heat gun a guick second and move things around, I think I read that this weakens the glue, careful to much heat and you pop everything. I also use saw dust and glue, just a little glue lots of dust spread over just the cracks sand good and your good to go.. But this is what I do may not be correct lol. Bob M.
