Sjors, I'm just catching up... the pictures look great! I'll now step away and let the arguement over brass or black continue.
-
And apparently they are water-skiing lobsters at that.
-
Andy, Great going on the chainplates and temporary mast fitting. I'm glad the exterminator didn't need to be called.
-
Jan, I agree that it is a shame that we lost all the logs including yours. But you and your beautiful ship are back. That's the important thing.
-
Lesignan, That is a ship we haven't seen before. How about doing a build log and letting us look over your shoulder?
-
Jack.Aubrey, I merged both of your build logs for this ship into this one. Just add to it instead of opening a new topic, please.
-
Erik, You could open up the bulkheads then put an LED into every other one. They would be "beween the guns" and spaced far enough apart for a realistic appearance.

Keep this up and we'll have to change the title to: San Felipe and Poetry Corner by Newdarksider101 – Scale 1:96, Lead Ship of the Spanish Armada (First Scratch Build)

Moved to the appropriate forum and pinned....

Thanks JP.. I'll consider that idea. Russ & Mario, Thanks. I'm convinced clothespins are greatest tool we can have. I use them for a lot of things.
-
Mario, That's some serious destruction there. When you say "improve your bowling".. will this involve a cat and 10-pin or a cat and bowling ball?
-
Not a bad idea. Now if I can just modify the plans to reflect the stuck clamp and pass it off as a piece of 18th Century deck furniture. Or at the appropriate moment it will fly free and become... wait.. Schrödinger's cat comes to mind.. this is quantum physic's solution you're handing me.

Russ, Sweet looking build. And the discussion and descriptions you're posting make it even better. -
Looks like Swiss Pear...???? You're off and flying. That looks really great. And so he mumbles.... "cut them by hand.... long way to go before taking on the title... indeed.. humpf"...
-
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.
