but these are water skis Augie..............oh, I get it.........hard water....right?!?!?! :D :D thanks for the head's up thanks for the good word Bob.......next update should finish them up
-
your build is coming along quite nicely..........I can see what you mean about the prop size. hull paint looks great!
-
well.......it was a lot of work! but, you made short work of it the planking looks great! it will look even better with the keel and other bits of trim on there! great job!
-
looking very nice Russ........the starboard side is done {white}. so you'll be painting the port side the same? sweet! decking looks great so far........will look nice when done
-
she's looking mighty sharp.....you've made a lot of progress on the tower! nice work.....indeed!
-
looking sharp Mark.......but you might want to check that rail at the starboard bow.......looks like it crept up a little on ya. I can't wait to see the hull completely planks.........she's gonna look sweet!
-
spending lots of time in the ship yard........very good! Meridea looks real sweet! that must be your tug in the picture as well

last week I did more work on the rack.........I thought it to be a small task, but it's kinda dragged on. I have had a nasty cold........it's now a dull roar, and I feel much better. I had done more sanding and shaping to the rack.....since I could not find the original wainscoting I had made for the build, I just improvised around the base. so it wouldn't get lost against the wall, I gave it a light stain and a coat of lacquer. now it's time for a little bit of hardware. as you can see, the depth of the rack, hides the fact that the skis have no bindings.

thinking ahead is everything........a very nice shot of your deck planking...the nibbing looks very nice I don't usually solder anything...I try to get my rigging taught, without a lot of stress. undo stress can distort masting your build is looking very good.
-
exactly how I did my Gothenborg.......the wales look as though they are built in....a subtle rise from the planking. sweet!
-
really sweet the way they are shaping up Andy. I like your new title "industrial modeler".........kinda has a nice ring to it the pictures really show how the angle iron intersects one another. nicely done!

looks very nice Augie.......do you bevel the edge, so it will butt up along the plank line? darn nice I've been fastening them while they are still damp.....I'm impatient that way I haven't had any problems with shrinkage.......probably because of the wood I'm using. I'm sure that different wood behave differently when wet. very nice job there.........doesn't look like too huge of a sanding job afterwards

she looks great Max you've accomplished some very nice bends there......I like what you did with the rudder. I've never heard of that type of lacquer.......but it looks very nice on the ship. I think the sheen will die out though once it's totally cured......it takes a while for this to occur anyway you get the best of both worlds.......they look nice and shiny in the beginning, but later they look even better...a bit more antique. very well done.........time to begin thinking of your next one.....I think
