I think it's a matter of personal preference. I know Chuck P. recommended they be brass in his Syren practicum and in looking around I see others the same (see Dan Vadis gallery on the brig Supply). Yes, any metal would eventually be blackened but then we copper the bottom of our ships and rarely do we completely blacken that. She's your baby, Sjors! -
We shall not rest until it's over ----- successfully!

Nice job on the 'chain gang'. She really changed with the first addition of the masts. Thanks for the preview of what's to come Good work, mate!

I think Popeye used the big sails on his America. Go figure

Good?????? Looks great!!!!!!

Nice Popeye. That sail is a GREAT touch.
-
No.....actually I meant the one on the right.

We need elections for poet laureate. But let's wait until they vote on the Pope first.

Ok, we have the right ship now That's a lot of pintles and gudgeons! Nice work! That one photo gives a nice idea of the color on the lower hull. Came out very well.

Yes, Sjors has to host. He is patiently awaiting the return to his former rank (it was either Commodore or Cormorant) but he has a LONG way to go. Congrats to amateur!!!!!!!
-
Bob has it. I was trying to think of the other name I've heard......it's Candlemas. OK, back to Stag.

You did a first rate job on this one Bob. Happy to see her again!

Oh, high tech stuff. Now THIS is scratch building!

ME has both brass and wooden pins at a length of 8mm. I don't know the diameter but the wood look a little thicker.

Well done, Rusty. And with that, we shall secure! -
No pressure ----- until you-know-who starts asking for the DAILY photos!

That does it! Andy's thread has been over run by crustaceans! Mark is going to fire warning shots at us all for 'frivilous posts'. Popeye - the blue ones are pretty rare so go lite with those

Welcome back JP! I thought you went on a lecture tour entitled 'Spiling for Model Shipwrights'.
-
That's funny, Popeye. I'm sitting here waiting for some WOP to dry on a couple of booms so I can rig'em. Darned humidity must be up today!
-
Popeye has a soft spot. He needs more greens!
-
Not if you use very little. Besides, you said you did not edge glue the planks After a while it will impregnate the wood.....on the clamps!

Try a monomolecular layer (that's very little) of petroleum jelly (aka Vaseline).
