Ron, Two place come to mind off the top of my head... ModelExpo and Bluejacket. I have no idea if they have the right size.
-
I'll try that. I've also rubber cemented a bit of sandpaper to the jaws of two of my clamps where I need the clamp not to slip.
-
Nicely done on the frame, Ron. What Russ said... I agree 100%.
-
For....????? Not sure what the answer is.. but I'll hold my breath anyway. If it's for the clamps, won't that impregnate the wood?
-
Looks great. A very neat and well done build, Bob. I'm looking forward to seeing some more pictures of it.
-
Pictures... that would be worth staying up all night and waiting for!!!!!!!
-
Thanks John. Lady luck exclusively. I tried wax but the clamps got slippery.

Thanks for looking in and nice comments guys. I only glue the plank to the beam. I don't edge glue and I use very small drops. Helps to keep things from bleeding. I did have one stick.. but the alky took care of that problem. Sjors, I don't remember where I got that idea. I've done the "flip the spring in the clothes pin/peg" ever since I did Wasa when I needed to clamp something and I had no clamps. I think the cutting to hold the planks just came as another solution to a problem. Håkan, I guess I forget how small of this stuff really is, also. 1:64 isn't that small when I look at the plans. It's only when I get my fat fingers in there I wish I had went with a bigger scale.

Daniel, I think it turned out very well. I agree that the distortion adds something to the uniqueness of this project as do all the fish in the "water".

Yves, You ask a question that only the log owner/builder could answer. I wish we could help with that, but until they show up, we'll never know.
-
Rusty, Looks great!!!!!!
-
Nice fix, Grant.
-
That hull just looks like it's made for speed.....
-
I do agree with this.. I know you can do it Sherry. We'll help you when you need it.

Thanks Popeye and Daniel. Things will pick a bit for this week... go dead for a week and then should really pick up the following week... I want to get planking done and build some more deck furniture. Have the capstan, pumps, and a bunch of cannon to do.

Rusty, There's what we call "set-up" and then there's what we tell the Admiral is "set-up".....

I think from a different place: http://smileys.smilchat.net/

Hmmm.... check Micromark. They sell drum sander paper in grits down to 320 grit. Size is: 2" diameter by 5.5" long for their thickness sander. Other places might sell the sander tubes also.

I would hope that Herr Meischel would have been honored to meet you. You both do fantastic work.
-
Nah... no finger in a bad way.. But now that you mention it.... I guess I shouldn't use that one any more. Maybe this one instead:
-
John, Great job on the stairs and wave catcher. Those seem to be the two biggest problems builders have with this model. You ace'd it!
-
Daniel, I hope you had a great holiday. The chainplates are a vast improvement, as is everything else you have done.
