Glad to see you off and running adding those details. Yes, it's funny how all those little dings and 'misses' start to reveal themselves. Not to worry ... we all find them. Sorry about your wireless problem.....Marconi might be upset !!! -
I'd like to pull up a chair myself!

Now you've got me wondering out loud. This is something I never thought of. On my Syren, there are 2 piece lids. The upper is called a 'bolster' and is generally left off and stowed below (except in heavy weather). The lower lids have 2 rings on the inside, one on each side of the gun cutout. I suppose these could be closed with a hook from either side of the gun. There are a couple of (not so great) photos of this on my Syren log: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/46-us-brig-syren-by-augie-ms-kit-164-completed/page-3 Someone like Blue Ensign would probably have the definitive answer (and reference).

I believe your tapering from the 4th frame to the 1/2 width at the bow should work out just fine. Fantastic work at this scale.

If you've got any room left in the back row, I think I'll sit in to watch this lady take shape. Your planking and joinery look just terrific.

Well, now we all know you're right handed. Sorry about the mishap and hope all heals well. Here's hoping you haven't started a trend - I recall a span a while back where he had 3-4 builders down from hand to hand combat with cutting tools!

Looking pretty spiffy, Popeye!
-
Would not the tabs on the hinges, embedded in slots in the planking, be sufficient for holding on the lids? Just wondering about the need to remove the varnish.

A pleasure to watch her develop.

Really enjoying watching her colors come together. That calendar looks familiar !

Masterful. A splendid addition to an already beautiful vessel. -
I've kind of settled on the more subtle approach like yours on the left for 1/64. Personal preference really.

Edwin - see post #1117 (one page back) on spirkiting.

Lots of everything right now! And yes, I recall 'encouraging' you on the cabin floor. Turnabout is fair play.

In addition to smooth sailing in the shop, I'll wish you tight lines at the lakes.

Sorry about the bending frustration. Sometimes, bending it halfway then a complete drying then bending further can work. You might also try adding 10-15% household ammonia to your soaking bath. Yes, it smells like the dickens. Or, you can try another wood. Step away from it for a minute and regroup!
