Mobbsie, I'm just cringing here from the sound of that injury. If this were a sports team, I think most of us would have been benched on the injured list lately.
-
Very wonderful, indeed. Not only are the carvings excellent, so is the painting.
-
Nice going, Mario. Planking looks really sharp.
-
Doomed, he's doomed I tell you!!!!!! Or at the very least, things will be very very quiet for awhile.
-
Sweet. That mouse is very effective. Don't sweat the ratlines.
-
Oooo... serious work going on there. And very impressive. We're not going to mention how close you are to doing ratlines.
-
Len, Great looking guns and carriages. I'll bet your happy not to have to all 74 guns.
-
Gunlocks? Capsquares? Incredible. Just incredible.
-
Nice work on the stairs. Those are a bit tricky to make and yours look great.
-
Alexey, It's obviously a laser, but a laser what? Interesting idea.
-
Interesting discussion... I would have thought it was the other way around.. The lower one would be the Great Cabin, used by the Captian when no admiral was on board. The upper would then be used by the Captain when there was an admiral on board. But I could be wrong.
-
Wow... lovely work.
-
A beautiful model and a prize you deserved for it, Garward. This was this years competition? As I recall you won a medal last year also.
-
Lovely work, Revier. It's sad that the fittings in Great Cabin won't be seen after this. But, as Jan said, we know they are there. As for the pumps, did you see this: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2337-french-elm-tree-pump-question/ ??? It might be too late but it's still interesting.

Rocker, Nice work. Yes to leaving a bit more meat for fairing. Also, unless you're really organized, I found that the best way is to cut and build one frame at a time. I tried the 'cut them all out at once" routine but ended up misplacing bits and pieces. On the blades, order her a gross from Olsen or Sawbird....

Qwerty, You never fail to amaze me... I love it.
-
Very nicely done on the guns and breechings, Grant.
-
Michael, Now that is a super looking deadeye/shroud/seizing. Wow!! The marlin spike is one thing... but an ebony handle?
-
Popeye, I think we all knew that bench wouldn't stay empty for long... I figured a matter of hours..
-
Mobbisie, If you're doing "overlap", then the direction of plating is pretty much set in stone... If you're not doing overlap, I think that decision is all yours.

Any chance of pictures???? We'd love to see your work.

For the fuzzies... try on a piece of scrap, scraping. Use a razor blade or even piece of broken glass. The fuzzies are a downside to basswood.

Freezer Paper - an awesome tool

Harvey, It might also be labeled as "butcher's paper". It's white, waxed on one side only. I've not had a chance to check out the supermarket, Target, Costco, etc.... but I can see where this stuff would be way useful. -
Mercury by DSiemens - FINISHED - BOTTLE

Daniel, One does what one does when time allows... <sigh> The creed of us working types. I've got the same complaints. Now I could just retire.... Great looking work. At least if you put in few minutes here, a few minutes there, at some point, you'll realize how much you accomplished.
