Another small wonder on the way! Lovely work as ever, Javier. -
Very impressive that you can get such a high level of repetition using a Dremel. Thanks for explaining.
-
Bien fait, monsieur! Very neat work. What techniques do you use to create those small repetitive parts?

Card rather than plastic mullions, perhaps?

It is believed that the Newton Manuscript dates from a little later: about 1625.

Fairing on the fly! The photo with the clothes peg shows me how small your model actually is.

Actually the Melampus model does show certain lines that are of a later date than the ship. This may be a result of restoration rather than lack of accuracy of recording on Petersson's part.

Sorry about your unglück, Dafi. But congratulations on your new jungle - I mean, workshop! It always takes time to relocate everything in a new setting and hope you enjoy your new space.

I think, depending on era and country, this varied. You'd probably be safe to go with your assumption. However, usually the garboard widened as it neared the stern post.

The Swan class plans show the open hearts rigged with a slightly longer collar than Peterssen's drawing, but I would not characterize them as being 'in air'. Attached is a photo of a modern model from about 1770. The slightly longer legs to the collar give lateral clearance to the jibboom.

Interestingly, Shag Rock is now a popular diving site: Dive Site: Shag Rock Location: Mountbatten, Plymouth Sound Description: Reef Depth: 16 metres (50 feet) Visibility: 25 metres (82 feet) Rating: **** This reef can be reached by RIB from Fort Bovisand. The dive was done at the end of May with fantastic vis in gin clear water. The stony seabed is a mixture of green and purple pebbles with perfect seaweed gullies that could be straight from a fish tank. Marine life includes dogfish, rays, wrasse and crabs.

That book looks interesting and well written. I think I'll bite! Thanks for bringing it to our attantion, Martin.
-
Just stumbled across your log, Martin. Great stuff! Although I was surprised to see the date stamps on the earlier posts. Hopefully not another three years to completion.

Reminds me of Spears Brickplayer set from my childhood!

While the advice above is good, I would not recommend CA glue as it ends up making line brittle. Dilute white glue or acrylic matt medium are better choices, as Greg recommended.

Harder to read after his accident, I'm sure.

Welcome! We'll watch for your progress. There's lots of help here on MSW if you need it.

Can you come and restore my hair too, Steven? That mix worked out very well. Soon you'll be recycling everything from the workshop waste bin.
