.....OK.........OK.........so, when's the plank'in party? fantastic progress so far! -
looks awesome Adrieke! something to really be proud of.
-
you know.......you could have adjusted the angle of your cuts.........but a small detour in scratch building never hurt anyone. just as long that we don't lose you down the rabbit hole good to see you back at the table.....looking forward in seeing what you come up with
-
hey there mark............you mean to tell me, that the last person finally left your "retirement" party!!??!?! must have been a doozie! thanks for the good word.......I've only just begun on the deck layout.
-
you've done a fantastic job so far...the only possible answer to your question is "until you are satisfied with it". a question does come to mind though..........how wide are your cap rails going to be, and will they over shadow your pin rails?
-
some sweet progress you've got going on there Adreike.......decking looks very good
-
looks like your doing a fine job.........you'll get used to it
-
guess I forgot to hit the button again..........it was early in the morning :D the best of intentions are usually met with the greatest of opposition. it's probably for the best.........think of the rigging you'd have to remove to open 'er up. I don't think you'll have any problems........you've taken great pains to get 'er this far I'll look forward to the big finish!

you'll find yourself in some strange situations, when rubber bands and clothes pins can't suffice. I've been in a few strange ones, myself looking very nice.......like your choice of color.

I had great luck with painting 4 x 4 x .5 mm tiles I made. much better in your case, with just black and white.........think of the dance floor I did in multi colors. believe me Augie.......it's a lot of fun Ebony is a great choice Bill........but take great care in working with it. dust particulates can really cause a lot of problems health wise. there are methods where shoe black can be used to simulate it, if you chose to do so.

personal: anniversary? modeling: all your cannons are rigged

the shrouds aren't plastic are they? the Heller kits that I've built in the past, utilizes a jig to make the shrouds from thread. if you plan to do your shrouds in the traditional method, then you did well to fill in the slots........they can wrap around the mast, rather than fit into the slot. it will look much better as well

looking good John........your choice of color is so close, it's awesome!

Ulises does make a good point. there will be times where a separation line might not look too good. as a lot of folks who work with plastic know, sometimes the molds don't give such a square edge on parts. dry fitting and sanding might take out most of it, but corners and deck joints might still suffer. your deck looks very good.....I did not see how this was assembled.......I had to look at it again. cool! it does have the cabin bulkheads is there one for the upright at the bow, or does the fore castle deck hide it?

I shouldn't even bother to mention it....but in the event you buy it........it's the Testor's putty in a tube. depending how old it is, you need the knead the heck out of the tube to insure that it is mixed well before using. I get it only because I don't use it that often, which is another problem for this type of application. it is a good putty though and sands very easily.
