Omega1234 got a reaction from Piet in Buzzards Bay 14 by pete48 - FINISHED - 3/4" = 1' scale - SMALL - L.F. Herreshoff design
Hey Pete
Silly question time - how did you manage to stain the bulkheads without the stain running onto the planking? I know there's got to be a trick to it!
All the best for Christmas and the New Year.
Cheers

Hi Mark
I'm not having much luck searching for the "The Rope" website, but I did find a photo on Bob Riddoch's post (http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/1710-38th-the-rope-exhibition-tokyo-japan/) of the exhibition in 2013. Looks interesting.
Cheers

Hi Mark
You've got me intrigued now! Did you get to peek a look at your pressie? Can you divulge? On the other hand, being an ex-Marine, you wouldn't have peeked, would you?
Cheers

Fantastic Nils!
I am almost positive the Pegasus is going to be my next build - following a brief hiatus to build the Artesania Latina Stage Coach.
And I guarantee your build will be close on tap for reference!

Hi everyone
Thanks for all of your comments and Likes.
The whole idea of trying to think how to do the superstructure with removable decks was really doing my head in. To try and figure things out better, I decided to do a very rough mock-up of the cabin structure out of balsa wood. Please bear in-mind that it's a really, really rough approximation of what it'll look like, but nonetheless, it should be a great aid for me. Here're the photos.
All the best!

Hi all
A very quick update. I'm still working on the internal bulkheads and getting the layout of the accommodation sorted out. She looks very rough, but, there's still lots of work to go!
Cheers and all the best!

Hi Kees
Mmmm....I wonder. Is it the internal accommodation of the cabins that you're also going to be building???

Omega1234 got a reaction from hexnut in Kilkis ex Mississippi (BB-23) by Panagiotis - FINISHED - scale 1:100 - Greek Battle Ship
Hi Panagiotis and Thanasis
Please don't feel bad! We'd feel the same way if we had to speak German. The fact that we can each admire and enjoy each other's models, is reward enough.
Have a great Christmas and Nw Year.
Many thanks
Patrick

Omega1234 reacted to popeye the sailor in Half Moon by popeye the sailor - Billing Boats - 1:40 scale kit
thanks for the kind word and the likes. feels good not having to worry about the boat getting lost in the clutter
thanks Frank.........sadly, no on the Goth.....I still need to access the damage from her latest fall from the shelf a few weeks ago {my doing}
thanks John.........I wanted something unique....and keeping in mind that techniques back then were not as refined as they are now-a-days
thanks Brian........I could go on about the detail I've added......and the fact that some of it came from the Corel kit. the ship's boat was actually plastic.....it got planked over. I think Billing and Corel go hand in hand as far as quality goes.......and in the hands of folks who see more in a kit {like we do}, added detail is an absolute must you and J are a tough act to follow
thanks J.........I think I'm past the half way point........I think?!?! chain plates.....masts, yards, rigging.........yea...it will be a while yet

Omega1234 reacted to popeye the sailor in Half Moon by popeye the sailor - Billing Boats - 1:40 scale kit
it's been a while..........the ship's boat has been on the table long enough. I didn't have any 2 mm blocks on hand......just what they gave me in the kit. I used what I had. I had stained some rope {thread} to give it some age.......didn't think that white lashings would look right. it's done in rope and tackle.....one on each side, in kind of a cris cross style. I added a couple of cleats to the hold to tie the lashings off. these first two pictures aren't that great.......I did this on my desk, since there was no room at either table.
this is what I started off with........I made up more rope as I went along. really have to build up my inventory of blocks.
one side done and tied off to the cleat. after both sides were done, a couple of rope coils were made to hide the end of the rigging at the cleat.
from here, it was cemented on the main deck. there is a little more that needs to be done, and then the masts can be set in place.
