very well spoken Daniel! -
another great build Mario! the finish was well waited for! you did a superb job!
-
was he embarrased to hear that the hull was plastic?
-
didn't matter when we got it..........the feeling and thoughfulness was still there.......it never left

I have done more planking to the other side, in order to even it out on both sides. I have done some tapering to the planks so far in the process. now that I'm reaching the chines, it will require more. I don't know what the thought was in creating the ribs with such an edge at the chines. in past pictures of the hull frame, you can see just how much of an edge there is. this must be removed and rounded to compliment the contour of the hull below the water line.

it is good to get away.....this hobby is a great outlet. you've got the right idea! -
I have always known that there is photo etch out there for plastic builds........but I am seeing more and more for plastic ships, as well as wood. very interesting work Daniel......I enjoy every new installment

thanks Ron, Eric, and Mark.........I guess the thing to say should be, that it's about time I got to rigging this bad girl! the word from you Eric, tells me I'm on the right track. thanks again for that belaying diagram....it's going to come in handy. I only have a few mins......I am almost out the door for work. I tried to do this last night, but I had internet issues in the middle of it. I have done a bit more to the fore mast, going with the double blocks for the main yard rigging. I want to get the fore mast in place........shrouds......fore rigging....more rigging!

looking good ron.......... I can't wait till I get to run some shroud lines.
-
by all means......make sure all of the lights work. then.........slow down.......take one thing at a time and correct the problems. I have the same problem........working on more than one aspect at a time. somethimes it works for me.......sometimes it don't. you'll sort it out, I'm sure of it

I read that link.......if that's what your planning, your off to a very good start. most of all......have fun in what you do -
I too hope that the paint your referring to, is nothing more than the clear coat......yea.......it looks that good
-
best thing to do, is to read ahead. is it part of the windlass assembly, or does it terminate below deck?
-
very nice work Daniel........who makes the photo etch? love your work!
-
what you've done looks really good......looks like you already have a coat of clear on it. sometimes it's good to plan out some sort of scheme at the start......something to use as a guide. your having fun......and that's all that matters
-
nice repair on the transom.......bet there were a few discouraging words said when you saw it. but you fixed it....and that's all that matters. your deck fittings look very nice! well done!

the hull came out very nice. the wood is called Obechi......I use it quite a bit. it does behave well when wet, but cutting it can be a problem, if the blade isn't sharp....does tend to want to splinter. sanding isn't fun either.....very rough grain. very nice method.........I'll have to try it sometime!
-
thanks Sjors and Augie.......I need to do just a little more filing to make them totally round inside. I've gotta count out the 3.5mm dead eyes I will need......I want to try it on a few of those thanks Frank........you know what I mean are you working on your Supply yet? I'm gonna catch up to you, you know I'm working on it Bob......hope that's what will come of her.........I'm a little out of water on this build. the Revell Cutty Sark was the last ship I did any major rigging to. I think I'll do OK though. thanks for the good word!
