looking good J ! -
the stern bulwarks look really good Dragzz....going to be a good guide for the first row of planking.
-
how are you coming along with the S.O.S. Den.........hope your doing well with her
-
this is a beautiful ship Nils.......great detail from bow to stern. I know you have 'Peg' in the works.......have you got another build planned?
-
nice job on the rat lines Sjors! crow's feet aren't too bad.......I'm sure you'll do fine!
-
hi there Frank! looks to be a very nice build! I'll be following along with great interest!
-
I have that problem as well Kats........I have a drafting table and a regular desk that I work on. I tend to favor the drafting table, because of it's height.......the desk, for when the ship is masted. I do have a minor problem with my back......but not as bad as yours. I find it better to stand than to sit. I look forward to the restart....bravo!
-
the faring is fun to me.....I usually have to do it in the garage or on the porch. I use a long sanding block that covers two or three ribs at a time......it makes a god awful noise. it goes away as the ribs become in sync with one another.......be sure your even all the way down to the keel. so to not have any gaps between the deck platform / bulwark mating, be sure the ribs are flush with the platforms. your doing great Dragzz
-
sad to see that happen......reminds me when I crushed the bow cap of the Nordkap with a pin pusher I hope the repair goes well
-
I could never wrap my head around planking them before cementing them together either Dragzz........you'll be able to blend the stern in better. very nice.........looking good! those are the bow rabbits
-
I think that this would be a job for your good logic....perhaps a slightly longer chain plate, so the lanyards can be properly placed.
-
I haven't read an instruction sheet yet, that has these dimensions.........however they are quick to point out that some experience in model ship construction is required. go figure
-
looking very nice Dee Dee
-
the ones I got from Billing's just have a hole in them........I like the idea that your able to include shackles and other forms of linkage. very nice indeed!
-
exactly........gluing pieces in there now will save you a lot of grief later on. you won't need to go that deep, but in the end, you'll have enough for a decent mast root.
-
nice new toys Mobbsie you'll be able to do tasks faster and better now!

yea, it tough to decide what is doable, when stumbling across things to correct. learning little tricks come in handy. I believe those would be called margin planks. you could make up a pair, trace and remove the necessary planking to accommodate them, or sand them down thinner, making the inner edge thinner than the outer edge, and simply cement them on top. however you do this, when all the added detail over shadows it, this repair will not be noticeable. your doing great Bob.

I heard the windows 8 was a problem anyway......I need to change from XP {but I hate to} I will either go to Vista or W7. I recently changed my browser.....too many pop ups......but I'm much better now! it's so good to see your back.....I was missing your wonderful work!
-
that's a cool way of making dead eyes.......I could have used that for the 3.5's for the goth..... I guess it's much in the same way I made the hearts for the goth.....and very much for the same reason.
-
I agree, but cut that way will tend to show a visible grain change. with everything that will be incorporated into the area though, it won't be noticeable. it's a good fix, none the less
-
I've gotten some in a few of my Billing kits. did you slot them like that? I noticed the way you did them....very nice
-
oh frank........I just remembered.......I still have those starfish..........dress your stand up real nice my offer still stands .....Hampton beach, N.H..........1980's....make a great conversation piece! love your work Frank
