  1. Check out the planking tutorials on this site.
  2. May we see photos of the other completed model, please? It looks more interesting than the wall!
  3. Interesting looking corner joinery! I'll be interested to see the real thing, Mike.
  4. That's right, Christian. That is the sequence.
  5. Some photo-processing software (such as PhotoShop) has the ability to compensate for the specific lens you are using and to correct for barrel or other distortion issues.
  6. You are making great progress, Gerald, as well as giving us insight into your thinking through the various processes you've developed. Much appreciated! Every best wish for the coming year to you.
  7. Well on the way to closing the gap now, Ben!
  8. The transoms are scored on to the sternpost and inner post. The knee is then scored on the inner faces of the transoms once they have been faired.
  9. Yes, Christian. On this draught the sternson knee (extension of the keelson), extends up to the underside of the wing transom.
  10. Thanks for the kind compliment, Dave. Glad you like the book.
  11. An interesting strategy: I hope this works out well for you. I suppose another possibility is to not glue one side of the spacers so that the frames 'float' with any dimensional change.
  12. Good to see you back. Polish with what, Michael: pumice or rottenstone? The repairs above looks great!
  13. The method Mike describes is how planking is often carried out on full-size hulls. I'd be reluctant to do this on a model hull for, unless one is extremely precise to the mark-out, one might end up with a skinny or fat space to fill. Or, worse yet, a wiggly strake of planking.
  14. Amazing! It almost looks like an authentic, legitimate Lorch! Well done, wefalck.
  15. And how did the drink taste? Great re-purposing, welfalck!
  16. You will have better control and results if you clamp the drawplate and use both hands to pull the material through.
  17. Nice going, Mike. Every model we build teaches us more!
  18. Coming along beautifully, Albert! Merry Christmas indeed.
  19. Check the pinned planking tutorials on this site.
  20. Looks like things are moving now, Ben! Merry Christmas and happy modelmaking.
  21. Almost fully automated modelling, hjx! My only concern would be the amount of scrap wood generated. Could one move the pieces closer together to mill them out?
  22. Looking lovely, Chuck. My own method of avoiding 'hourglassing' is to tie every tenth ratline first, then every fifth, then third and lastly the remaining alternate ones. You can see right away if things start to pull in and it's easy to correct. Season's best wishes to you and the family.
