USN Anchor Hoy 1816 by Hank - 1:48 Scale - POB
Jim Lad replied to Hank's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Nice to see some progress, Hank. That transom looks really good. John -
Michael, The seizings would have been done with marline, which is heavily impregnated with stockholm tar and is thus a very dark tan. Looking good, mate! John

Just catching up with what you're up to, Gil. She's looking superb! John

Nice work on the guns, Mobbsie. Now we all know if we're offered a model ship in the pub that has brass cannon ends we can say, "Officer, arrest that man. That model belongs to Mobbsie!" John

Yhanks for all the photos, Rusty! Lovely, just lovely! John -
Iy's great to see that skiff coming back on line Mario! John

Nicely done, Russ. They can be little buggers to do! John
-
Simple, but very effective! John
-
I thought you were a scratch builder! John
-
Looking good, Remco! John
-
I'm disappointed, Danny. I really expected you to make the full length of both chains and fit them, even though thay won't be visible! John
-
Phew! That looks a bit neater, Danny - great stuff! John
-
Ah, crikey, I can't make one - I don't have any Fiddle-back Maple! Thanks for the details of your jig, Michael! John
-
Oh, yes! Spot on, Nico! John
-
Nice looking serving machine, Michael! John
-
Danny, It's great to see your 'bird' progressing again! John

SS Vinal Haven by TBlack - FINISHED

Look like air holes to me, Tom. As for the "ventilator", as you know, ships get altered over time, so it may have become redundant in an alteration at some time. John -
Tony, At a scale of 1/64, the scale frames would be way under 0.5mm in size, if you're looking at scale framing. John

Thanks for the support, gents! John
-
I somehow seem to have missed you log Ilhan, so I'm just catching up. All up to your usual high standard, I see! John
-
Nicely done with the halliards and downhauls, Augie! John
-
Thanks, Bob. I usually have one model on to go at the museum and one at home, but at the moment Stag is the only one! John
-
Michael, Tha shrouds do look a bit light on - unless, of course, you have more modern rigging and you're using wire for the shrouds. The set-up with the deadeyes closer together looks the 'ants pants'! John

Jim, I'd steer away from Balso for anything other than packing pieces or rough mock-ups. It's really too soft and spongy for much else. John
