  1. Looks very nice, Siggi. Had you thought of painting the decorations on paper off the model and then gluing it on? Much easier than fighting gravity and getting into the inner corners!
  2. Another way to put off fairing frames! Bit extreme, though, but gets you a lot of brownie points! Nice stands.
  3. Welcome aboard et bienvenue Rick!
  4. Nice detail on the chain pump return tubes!
  5. Coming along well, Kevin. Hint: always rest a plane on its side. Sole down on the bench as in your photo leads to dulling the blade faster with grit and debris on the bench top.
  6. Hearty congratulations, Mike. May SeaWatchBooks continue to flourish! And congratulations to Bob for this transition. Your work in building SeaWatch for the past 20 years is much appreciated. We look forward to the next stage,
  7. It is indeed sad that we have lost such a talent. I was wondering if another expert French model-maker might pick up the torch and complete this masterwork, if his family is amenable to the idea.
  8. Before you do that, I might consider tapering the garboard back a little more. If you don't, plank widths will get 'squeezed' or tapered too much into the bow. Take a look at "A primer on planking" to see what I mean.
  9. An excellent result, although personally i'd like to have seen a little more 'sea-room' fore and aft of the hull. But, it's personal preference!
  10. The Festool will cut out when the bag is full. Is that the problem?
  11. Personally I don't like to wear headphones in the workshop. I use sound to judge if I'm overloading a power tool before it bogs down or stalls. Since acquiring a quieter vacuum, this is much easier to hear.
  12. Beautiful work in difficult times, Valeriy. We hope for your continued safety
  13. Ave, Ferrus! Welcome aboard.
  14. Getting in 'underneath' at the stern is always a bit tricky, but you should be able to adjust your masking until the line looks right when viewed from the sides.
  15. Just stumbled across this log - very impressive open boats at this small scale!
  16. Hope all is well, Gary - we've missed you!
  17. It is amazing what an angled light source can pick up! The photo of your hull looks good, though.
  18. Rudybob: There's no shame in asking. There is lots of information on this site as well as folks to help you out. We've all been there!
