glbarlow got a reaction from thibaultron in Ring light
I’ve never seen a Nikon lens with f/40, interesting.
I too rejected ring lights in my photography due to limited use and high price. This seems like a nice price effective choice. Thanks for sharing.

glbarlow got a reaction from Canute in Yellow Boxwood from Model Expo
For the whole model or just the wood?

Not sure basswood for boxwood is a fair exchange, glad it works for you.

Not all of us have high praise, I think they’re a junk company that proudly lists kits based on stolen IP from China.
As Chuck notes The Modeler’s Saw Mill is an excellent US source for wood. I recommend you replace what you have with Alaskan Yellow Cedar (much less than boxwood and easier to work with, though boxwood is amazing). See my Cheerful or Winchelsea build log for more photos on how it looks planked on a hull. Then toss that junk away after sending MS a demand for refund (which you likely won’t get, but you’ll feel better) and post a nice Google Review.

My Chapter 10 posts were too long, I won’t take the time to do that much again.
The quarterdeck is pretty much the last “big” thing to do, starting with planking and ending with rails. It’s been such a journey from the first framing, through months of planking and the many detailed components assemblies since. Not sure I want it to end.
To keep it short, here are just four final photos of the quarterdeck.

Mostly due to the size and available (or I should allowable based on my wife’s review) display space I’m really trying to convince myself Speedwell is not my next project. With each new innovation that gets harder and harder to do…..I mean, to scale door handles and books on a table in the cabin, wow.

glbarlow got a reaction from Cathead in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Erik W - 1:48 scale
I think you’ll find lots of us didn’t drill the interior ones. Easy to mess up and gouge the deck, they are largely hidden by the cannon anyway.
The eyebolts get easier, tiresome but easier as you lock onto a process that works for you. 12 cannon, 7 eyebolts and two rings each plus 4 more and two rings for the bulwark per cannon, you lave a lot more in your future. If you’re using Alaska Yellow Cedar you’ll find you can push the bolts into the wood. Mike’s is all boxwood.
