Nice eagle. Bob -
looks interesting. Think I'll stick aroung to watch. Bob

I always attached the rudder controls to the rudder shaft below deck so nothing showed above deck. Bob

Thanks for letting me know what to watch out for. Bob

Chuck, The Spray had natural masts also. I cut some 3/8” diameter twigs from a nearby tree, removed the bark, and let them dry. Check out the Spray in my signature and see what you think. Bob

Good start on the planking. Bob

Sherry, I have enjoyed watching you build the San Felipe. Usually by the time I get to read the build logs there are two pages between what I want to comment on and where my comment would be. You’re doing a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing. Bob

Yes It's a wonder any of us scratch builders have any hair left. Bob

Nice work on the "shoe", and yes you need to get back to the cockpit cap rail, I miss seeing it done. Bob

I strip everything I toss. I get more moters that way. Bob

where is X-Y Table thread
captainbob replied to captainbob's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Thanks fellows. I knew someone would know. Bob -
A while ago there was a thread about X-Y tables. I tried to search for it but the search program did not recognize X-Y. It said one of the words was less than three letters. Any way does anyone remember the thread and can direct me to it? Bob

Beautiful work as always. Bob
-
Fine job on the piant. It will be fun watching the decals go on. Bob
-
You're right. My error. Bob

It is also a pole that stands in the bow of a boat upon which a flag called a jack flag flies. They were used a lot on paddle wheel river boats to help with the steering. Bob

I don't think sail boats/ships ever had a jackstaff. Bob

David, Let’s look at what we as ship modelers need to know. Basically we work in wood, but also glue, paint, metal, cloth, thread and string, some plastic, some paper and for R/C you need to know electric and control systems. That sounds like a jack of all trades to me. Bob

As we learn from each other, do we become experts or jack of all trades? The difference is that the expert learns more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing. On the other hand the jack of all trades learns less and less about more and more until he knows nothing about everything. Ah, well, just a thought. Bob

This should be a nice build with lots of rigging. You have a nice start on her, Bob
-
Looks like an interesting build. Bob

Great photos. Makes me feel like I'm really there. Bob
