I like it! how will it hold up over time though? I've even had thoughts about the white glue I've been pulled away of late........holiday and such........ it's not off the table.............when I get back to her, I hope to show you something really good {you've ALL been good this year.......in my book} I really appreciate you showing me this.......joe......it looks awesome! -
oh....my.....god John..........she looks absolutely beautiful! I'm ashamed to tell you how many pages I had to catch up on.......so many great progress pictures I like the blocks you used......they look so natural for the ship.......and they add so much detail. the whale boats add a lot as well......all the added detail congratz on the finish of this fine vessel....{I read that she was finished}...I am so happy for you now the stand.........and there had better be a case in store for her as well.......I quite agree on the preservation of her beauty. I hope the holidays turned out to be all you had hoped!

more neat ideas........thanks very much of course Joe.......you can post a picture of your idea......no problem with that sounds great Greg.....you didn't lie though.......you didn't specified how many years, a few were I'd need to figure out how to do the laminant though. you got that right Kevin.........put out a hair brained scheme....and look at how it blooms! I hope it benefits someone down the road. for that to work, the backing {I use plastic wrap} would have to be adhered to the mesh. this way, when the colored glue is dropped in place, it won't run into the next facet. not a bad idea though.......it would need to be pressed til dry.....this would insure a flat mesh panel to be filled see.......I formed a partial plan already thanks Kevin....sounds doable happy new years........ happy first night.......happy flipp'in the year book to the next chapter.....whatever you wish to call it, everyone here at the Wharf and I, want to wish you the very best. stay safe.

Cutty Sark by NenadM
popeye the sailor replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
one thing to consider.......your going to put anchors in the hull for the screws.....a pretty good idea. but remember that the outer lip of the anchor will protrude on the hull surface. adding them after you drill the holes might cause them to go out of alignment......adding thickness between the hull and stand contact. if you could find small metal ones might be good.......they won't have much of an outer lip. {picture #2}. better yet....if they have to be used { all that you have on hand}, perhaps you could sand them down so the lip is not so prominent. have a great 'first night'- 4,152 replies

it's so good to see your back in the workshop the hull looks awesome! for a waterline.....I just use a block of wood with a 'V' in the top for the pencil. I have different size blocks, depending where the line needs to go. nothing too fancy...and gets the job done
-
the workbench shot shows how small it is awesome work my friend! she's a sweet looking boat!
-
it's a good scale to do this........I recall doing this to a 1:16 scale funny car. I was going to ask you about the boat........but I figured that you had a plan. it would be good though.......you'd have a better reference for the mounts and such. nice looking engine......once you do the touch ups
-
thanks for the added thoughts..........I'll look into it. I probably can find stuff like this at Hobby Lobby {I got a gift card for Christmas }
