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.
-
Just amazing.

Cross-section by russ - FINISHED - 1/48 scale
mtaylor replied to russ's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Hi Russ, Is this a "generic" cross-section? Or from a specifc ship? Looks to be interesting to follow along. I'll expect to learn something too. -
Challenging????? Mark, I think you are now the master of understatement.
-
Thanks Augie and Sherry. I"m cheap.. er.. frugal. Yeah.. frugal. Anyway, they work better than any that I've seen for sale. Grant, she gets full planking. Admiralty directive.
-
Andy, The chains are looking good. As for Sjors popcorn cart... he must be eating it as fast as he pops it.
-
Remco, Nice work on the stropping. I have question. Obviously this is block and stropping for a heavy load. Is it actually supported/secured to the mast by that one light line? Or this just for position only?
-
Bob, this looks to be a fun build. Mind if I follow along?
-
Nice carving work. And with out using any power tools either. Impressive.
-
Yikes! That is going to be one big honkin' cross-section. You've already started prepping the wood, so I hate to tell you this, but your build is beyond "set-up".
-
Augie: "Stalwart of professional building"???? Huh... who...? me...? Andy: Just look for Sjors. He always has the popcorn cart. And usually a front row seat. Just to make the point that I'm not a total slacker (Hi Ben, I took your post to heart)..... here's an update. First picture is where I am at present. The lads in the sawpits have been busy cutting the deck planking. I've been busy fitting and caulking. About 6 more strakes and then the sander comes out. Special Tools department: Here's the clamps I made for working with the decking and hull planking.
