Amazing, Zen and Nietzsche and Steven Wright have finally met on Augie's esteemed build....and during a countdown, yet. It does boggle the mind. I think, therefore I'll go have a beer.

Ferit, On your ratline problem, mix some water and white glue in a 50-50 proportion. Lightly paint the ratlines and shape while it drys. Do this on a test ratline first. It should help.

Anthony, I don't want to hold this up.. go ahead and post another one. I got caught is s storm at work today and I'm still buried.

Thanks Popeye and Mario. Mario, I finally had it with all that... I'm counting down the days. If all goes according to plan (and we all know about the best laid plans of mice and men, right?), I'm sitting at 153 days and a wake-up. Anyway, back to the sweatshop and hopefully, tonite I can get a few more gunports finished.

Danny, Sorry.. was digging this morning for one to put up if no one else got it.
-
Wish I had one to put up.. found her (or it maybe ). And yes, it should go to the Ugliest Ship thread, Danny.

Wonderful work Darryl. Those chairs are incredible. I agree that we shipbuilders could learn a lot from the railroad folks.
-
Nice to see you're able to get back to this build, Lextin. The new formers look to give you some internal bracing.
-
Martin, I know zip about dories but I think I'll pull up a seat also. Looks to be a neat project. Oh.... here..we'll use this little unti until Sjors shows up with his monster popcorn machine..
-
Thanks for looking in, everyone. I'm really loving this swiss pear for the planking. It's a dream to work with.
-
Paddy, Since your jig is somewhat different then other jigs, the spreader at the top is an excellent idea. I think those of use who were early builders used the "Ewe Jig"... so the spreader was built-in. Most of us in the past did use spacer blocks up high and you'll be surprised at how they lock everything into place.

Don, All the good explatives have been taken... I'll just say "WOW"!!!!!

Indeed, a lot better. Looking good. -
There's just TMI here... I think I'll move along to the next log.. :D

Michael, This build just gets more and more impressive everytime. Those beads are almost too perfect.
-
Thanks Michael. I'm pretty happy so far since this is first single-planked hull I've done (and first scratch). Kevin, She's going to be completely planked by Admiralty Directive.
-
Ron, Were you using "filler" or "filler putty"? Filler should dry hard. Filler putty never really sets up.
-
Sanding, touch-up filling, and re-opening the gunports is just starting move along. I've hit it with 220 grit and I'll follow up with 320 and possibly 600 once the gunports are proper. I'm pretty happy with the planking so far. Photo is without flasha and colors look pretty close to what I see.

John, Play a little Willy* as you roll out of town for us. Have a good trip and we hope to see some pictures. *To keep me ouf of trouble... Willy Nelson "On the Road Again".

Scratch building the Syren using the kit's plans
mtaylor replied to rtropp's topic in Wood ship model kits
Richard, The Microlux Tilt Arbor does have a vacuum port. Hope this doesn't throw a monkey-wrench into things. -
Ian, Great looking stove. For bolts... cheat. I've seen people use drops of paint or CA (then painted) to simulate them. As for the snake... yikes!!!! We do have a thread around someplace about pets in the shipyard and havoc occasionally occurring.
-
Sam, Great looking hinges and port lid.... where's the glue?... I don't see it.

Tom, Another heavily weathered build just showed up.... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3052-cr-lamb-by-rail-and-tie-interaction-hobbies-187/ He's basically a railroad type and those guys do some serious weathering. -
Sance, When you post them and if you're selling them, please post in the Dealers and Traders Section. You'll get more folks looking at it. Thanks,
