-

thanks Lawrence.......as a matter of fact....I got the rest of the lighting stuff yesterday {the admiral said no on the chandelier} the tree boat should be able to make it to the table. there's only a few more things to on the Jingle belle, and then I can primer the deck area. not much to report at the moment, but I am trying to combine scavenger hunting with Christmas shopping. hope to have some progress soon. Bob........I bought a set of those ultra LED lights......takes two 1.5v batteries. would I need to use a 3v adapter?
-
thanks Lawrence......still a bit more work on it. not much done this week.........I think the Holidays are going to put a damper on building, but I'll try not to let it we'll have to see.

gonna look good John..........real nice how you terminated the planking at the stern
-
looking very nice Dragzz.......you can always stain to match the upper wood, what isn't going to be painted or coppered. if you can though, try to get away from those 10 mm brads........see if you can get some push pins, the long slim type if you can. your going to end up having to do a lot of repair work when your finished.
-
looks like a fine solution Mark.......a bit more shaping, and it will fit in there nicely. definitely will make the stern stronger
-
come to think of it.......I do happen to have a whole bin of those adapters, that I've collected through the years. something to think about.....
-
glad to see your back at the table J.........I think it's a neat method too.....I'll be doing this same thing, one of these days she's looking sweet!
-
looks like a very productive session indeed! the bow looks outstanding Boats.....nicely done!
-
it's so cool to hear that your admiral is helping you. it's neat, the way fabrics and different materials, adds extra detail. you've done some very nice progress.......looking very sweet!
-
very well done Daniel
-
I recall seeing some at Hobby Lobby as well. LED is making quite a showing in the Christmas light dept this year. I would need to see if they can be adapted to fit the transformer outfit I bought........it's still not too late, in the event that I'll need to change anything. I have to go there anyway........I'll take a look thanks Bob!
-
I've had moments like that........save something for so long, then get tired of it hanging around, and throw it away. then to have the need appear about a month later. truly a bummer moment I notice the clearance between the two gears.......the alignment of the shafts look a bit off.. is that a camera or dry fit thing? to shim the engine would be a hard thing to do, but you may be able to modify the well that the opposing shaft fits into. I hope I'm wrong......or I'm just seeing an adjustment that you know you'll have to do very nice progress
-
thanks Dragzz...it will look better when I get it finished

thanks Kevin, I'm glad to hear that your enjoying the build. though a bit off the beaten path, I hope to create subjects that could be conceived as real boats. I'm trying to get as much done before the year's end........they'll be done for the 2015 holiday season BTW.......your Vic looks sweet as your avatar

thanks Adam....the bad thing is, is that I can only use those size bulbs. this set up knocks it down to 12 V......can't use LED........I have lights, but no sockets for them. I also found that the outlet bar that I got is like solid state......hard to take it apart without damaging it. I need to look into it further. we're making another trip to Hobby Lobby this week. thanks for the good word thanks for the good word also Michael......no deadline. they won't be finished this year. my goal though, is to get both hulls painted and set up for the deck fittings. THEN........let the deadline begin! I did get a giggle though........we picked up our tree at a lot that was set up behind the local Dairy Queen. after seeing what this guy had for a tree wrapping table.......I'm absolutely positive.......that anything I can envision, will come out looking stellar thanks Mobbsie........it won't be for a while yet. I hope your right......I'm flying by the seat of my pants thanks Omega....hope to have more soon "god bless ye merry modeler" {sounds like a 'shore leave' moment}

is there a time period for this type of tackle? I've not seen it on older ships. looks super Danny

Cutty Sark by NenadM

as we New Englanders say "don't be scat now!" to see the effort you've put into her...and where she is now, is truly amazing. I think you really need to show that "guy of self doubt" what the back wall of your closet looks like oh, and be sure to close the door when you leave- 4,152 replies

I second that Bob..........might even go as far to add that what your doing requires a lot more milling. your goal is also much higher splendid work Michael!

most actors are afraid of it happening to them......I guess it can happen to modelers too......I've been stereotyped not that it's a bad thing Dee Dee........the M&M Fun Ship is my best concept build so far. I'm hoping to surpass it, but I'm finding it to be an uphill battle. the admiral covets that ship........I STILL can't put a finger on it! {not that I would ever change a thing to it}. it's still relatively safe....but one of these days, I need to make a case for it. I like that commercial too.......thanks! thanks Nenad for the good word! got a bit more to do on this one, but then I'll have to get a move on with the tree boat, and get that one up to speed
