either NCIS or SUV.........both are crime dramas. I'd play music, but if I heard a cool song, I'd want to pull out my bass and play along. -
I have a lot of that cotton thread, that I've gotten from the Billing kits........I find that it fuzzes out too much. I've never used the bees wax and wonder if it sets well with different glues. I have stretched and treated it in this way.....not to get it sopping wet, but enough to dampen it. apply it with a sponge and let it dry a bit before using it. surely....give it a try and see if this method works for your particular problem.
-
you could set them up........and weight them, after washing them down with diluted white glue. I know a lot of folks use the bees wax for their lines, but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment
-
so, is this your plan.......to take each hull and do the separate deck levels on each. that would be a huge undertaking, my friend....and so very........very cool! your not kidding Mark........it was Dafi that inspired me to do what I'm going to do with the United States build I might not be able to do what he's doing........but it will look 100% better than if it was done with the plastic decks.........your work is outstanding Daniel....and you research is superb!
-
with that set up you've done, as long as the rudder is the same thickness as the stern post.....it would come out nice. you have the shape down very well........
-
nice looking rigging Patrick.......she's really a beaut! gonna throw a party with all that Hooche? I got a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas....I already made the batch that came with it.......it was pretty good.....not much of a kick though. do you do it from start to finish?
-
yea.....I know! I thought I was at the end of your log.........I posted and all this extra showed up! man........your fast.......and very .....VERY good! now........if I hit 'post'.........am I going to see a ton more? I hope so!
-
it's quite simple my friend.........you'll get those ciphers on in the usual 'Dafi' way! good to see your log is back.......well updated and under way. I had a tough go.......doing my logs........getting back all the builds I was following, and keep the Wharf running. I'll look forward in following the inventive mind of Dr. Dafi
-
I have only one ship in mind at the moment...........but I need to reduce the 'clutter' I'm getting the F-15 out of the way at the moment, and then the last few things for the Lobsie twins. I have the sails for the AmericA on my desk, waiting for the reef lines. once these are done.....I'll be on the Goth! I dunno........I'm looking forward towards retirement......you think i have a bunch of builds now........... LOL! I thought you were on the lookout for a Supply kit? I thought that I saw Mamoli has one.
-
I was right!!!! that looks awesome all framed out! splendid job Sherry! you can see the love and effort in it.....a simply superb job!
-
happy easter to you as well Paul!
-
adding in the little details like these, is what make this build so interesting Gil. your build is the first that I've ever seen of these........so cool!
-
hello Marc, looking over your build, I found very interesting. I don't think there is a kit made, that someone hasn't bashed one aspect or another. I've found that we all have a tecnique that is unique, and we're willing to share with others. it's always refreshing to try out new things, especially if the outcome yeilds the same result. do continue with your build.........it would be cool to see what else you might encounter, and your methods for resolve.

thanks Mark. this puts the build that much closer towards being finished.
-
never tried them...I'd be too leary about where they've been.....LOL!
-
superb work Augie.......man.......your ship is a beaut! I'll look forward in seeing the yard work......after you've done your yard work!
-
what you have there looks pretty good..........I'll be here for the rework!
-
looking much better......the keel / bow stem is a work of art! I got an older scroll saw as well.....not too pleased with it, due to limited control. I'd like to get a band saw.....but that's a future wish look forward in seeing more progress .......your doing a superb job!
-
that's some really nice work Michael......had a nasty work week {I work the week ends}.......I had to really backtrack on you log to see it all! what a great tuitorial on how to make dead eyes....you made it look so easy! and your dry fit is fabulous....the shrouds look so cool. you do some wonderful work! I've never made rope before, so this should be quite interesting.
-
really bad week end.......had to work and didn't get around like I usually do. I must say you picked a cool color for the interior.....kind of like a trainer yellow.......like the Denny-zen! I knew you liked the color...... LOL! your bucket method is cool.......turns out a really cool bucket. you can get a lot of that sheet brass as well as other alloys from places that sell model train stuff. look in the clearance bins as well.........good deals to be had! very nice progress thus far......meanwhile, I'll try to keep more in step......I hate having to catch up like this
-
superbly done Paul!! simply stunning!
-
WOW John.......you've really made some progress since I last saw her........the masting looks superb! even the deck has more detail to her!!! simply a wonderful job John...........really stunning!
-
don't feel bad about the discrepancy........it looks so good! you construction of these two edifices is so good, it would be a shame to change it now. as a matter of fact....in some pictures of these ships, there is some curvature like that at the bow........maybe not as pronounce, but it is there none the less. I love how the stern is shaping up. you have such an interesting build going on......once you get the upper sections fleshed out, it's really going to complete the structures. great job!
-
I know Phil.....been too long already
-
thanks fro the added compliments everyone!! hmmmmmm, starfish souffle......no, I don't think I've ever run across a recipe for starfish. I would think there wouldn't be much meat......and probably tough to chew. somehow....I'm not feeling the love in eating the little buggers thanks for the info Wayne.....I've seen articles on how they feed........sure glad the human species don't eat like that....be rather messy at the dinner table
