HOGA is coming along nicely Bob.........shaping up to be a nice looking tug -
congrats on a wonderful build....superbly done!
-
thanks Robbyn.......one thing I will add to the glass trick......make sure that they are smooth round glasses, and not faceted. they leave marks in the wood.......thankfully they are on the underside of the part now I have to cut and bend the parts I will need for the cap rails. I have already pre-bent the main wale boards.......now I need to do the smaller ones.
-
that looks nice........is the design in the plans?
-
not a problem Adam........glad I could help you one thing I will do in the future though, is keep the admiral in the loop, as to what I'm up to........this way she won't look like a deer in the headlights, when she answeres the door.........hee......hee! Yepper! it was a pleasure to meet you and your admiral. if your ever in the neighborhood....stop by! I think the admirals enjoyed themselves just as much I haven't forgotten Sjors..........skype soon
-
could also be used as a weathering aide.......especially if your looking for a two toned appearance.
-
the framing looks very nice Augie........makes no difference how fast or slow you go........just enjoy it as much as you can
-
looking very nice JP.......the dilemmas of doing and not doing......it always seems to come out in the end though your doing a fine job!
-
looking good Adam.......the decking looks sweet! little by little....the hull will look good with color
-
looking good Robert!
-
I hope I can help........not a problem..good sir
-
I know Andy..........once I get this part done, I will be getting back to the Goth. thanks for looking in and the good word
-
naaaawwwwww! you only get that, if you've confessed to seeing UFO's and little green men :D :D I went to the site.......all they show is a description and a few pictures........nothing to really download I feel bad for those who have lost the instructions. the plans show things that are not in the Billing's plans...kind of neat to see. thanks for posting them Anja. I can always come here to view them ......I tried to 'save image', but it won't let me. not to worry Sjors.........they'll let you build your ships in jail........you just don't get the luxeury of sharp things and power tools
-
hey!!!!!!............there goes a streaker???!!?? :D
-
send me a PM........I'll give you my address. I have plenty of planking....I can give you some what size planking are you using?
-
that's some very nice work Evan.....Revell left out a lot of detail
-
so, then I guess the Corel plans aren't any better than the Billing's plans. is the PDF on the Corel site? the "all rights reserved" pertains to piracy issues for the most part.......no one can copy them. I've posted the Revell Cutty Sark instructions on another forum for folks to download a copy......Revell has made no attempt to stop me from doing it........heck, I'm doing them a favor, because they don't list it in their model PDF page. they have quite an extensive list. I don't see any problems posting pictures of them here. got to go to work now.........I'll be back this evening

Cutty Sark by NenadM
popeye the sailor replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
as you said........all is not lost. it does take some getting used to though...........this is scratch building, at it's best I'm sure you will straighten all this out- 4,152 replies

BRAVO!!!!!!!! it looks great Daniel! I had to show this to the admiral...she was equally as impressed as I am simply fantastic.......so hard to believe it can be done.........and the dory is a real nice touch! so glad to see this
-
thanks Mobbsie...I appreciate the way you've summed it up thanks Bob........in layman's terms.......a model builder is a person who has the ability to paint themselves into a corner.......and come out of it smelling like a rose! :D I wonder what Bashman would do in a case like this? thanks for the good word.........we'll have to see in the next episode .........same bash-time........same bash-channel :D
-
I was contacted by a gentleman......he would like to purchase a kit of the half Moon, and the question was asked which manufacturer would be best...Corel or Billing's. I know very little about the corel kit, or the instructions, does Corel have a PDF page on their site, so the instructions and plans can be seen? I'd be verey interested in seeing them.

you be whoever you want......."he who is truthfull to himself, is a humble person" .......besides, you have the Gnomes to blame........your covered

thanks Adam! when I install the post supports for the lower deck, I will pull it together then. this way I'll be able to do the entire wall. I find that there are a few more glue blotches inside than outside...I'll remedy them before it gets the seal coat. I think that's the coolest thing about our builds........thanks very much for the concern.......but it needs to be done when I got the kit Sjors, it was said that I could just use it for junk and spare parts. bit, with so much of the kit intact, I thought "why not build it".......I love the challenge. it will teach me so much more this way. thanks for the good word my friend......I'll be back to the shrouds soon
