Get your lining out done and view the model the right way up from all angles as well as upside down. Plank with the model inverted unless you are a bear for punishment!

Great job on the hull! Two words come to mind...well, three actually: Sleek. Beautiful Elegant.
I'm gonna enjoy watching you build these little beauties!

Your millwork is superb, Frank. As is your whole build of the Dunbrody. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Glenn. Good thing I didn't describe all of my mistakes - it would have tripled the size of the build log!

Beautiful companion ways Frank. And the capstan and bollards are perfect!! I enjoyed your step by step description of how you made them.

Hi Vaddoc
Lovely to see the hull starting to come together, with the keel, stem and sternposts added. Wow, she's big!
You could easily fit some RC gear in her, couldn't you?? Hint...
Cheers

Congratulations on completing your wonderful Dunbrody, Frank.
What a tremendous achievement. Sheer precision coupled with a huge dollop of passion and talent, have all come together masterfully.
Seriously well done!
Cheers

Hi Bob
Nothing that's designed nowadays, (it seems), can come even close to the grace and classiness of the designs that were typical of the era of your boat.
I guess that's why your boat has such widespread appeal. Oh.... and, what a top job you're doing, too!

Hi Dave
Top job on those pumps. They look so real, that I'm sure that they could actually work.

Omega1234 got a reaction from mtaylor in Preussen by Chasseur - BOTTLE - barque
Hi Jeff
Very clever 're-work' of the table. It looks fit for purpose and will put you in good stead for many more models to come.
I'm looking forward to when you can christen it with your Preussen.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers

Omega1234 reacted to CDW in Heroine 1838 by ggrieco - FINISHED - Scale 1:24 - Western River Steamboat as she appeared before hitting a snag in the Red River
I recently stayed at the Rising Star Casino in Indiana. While there, admired a beautiful scale model of the Rising Star Riverboat. I thought it was one of the finest looking models of that type of boat I had ever seen until I found your build thread.
This model is amazing. Would love to see something like this in person.

I'm amazed that you are able to machine the window mullions without the cross grained areas collapsing, even using the Costello Boxwood.

Thanks everybody,
I've missed being in touch. I'm happy to finally have a free weekend to explore n MSW.
Thanks Jack, yes, I use a Blazer micro torch and love it. The fine flame works great for these small parts.
Thanks Frank. The two uprights on the front of the stove are 1/8 square tubing with two sides filed off. For the rest of the upright bends, I score the back side of the sheet and then used a fine square file to file a 90 degree notch half way through the sheet. Makes for a clean straight bend but you can only bend it once or twice before it breaks in this thin metal.
Thanks druxey, I still having a lot of fun learning what the mill can do. I've never used it so extensively for one model before. I'd hate to think of how long this model would have taken if I didn't use the mill.
Thanks Albert, Michael, Cathead, nils and John. It's good to hear from you again.
Thanks Pat. I look forward to following your Victoria build. I have a feeling that you'd have no problem getting value for the money out of CNC. Although, I still feel like I'm cheating when I see modelers doing higher quality work by hand.

Wow what a comeback Glenn, I had been missing your updates.
Those skylights are stunning. I will be making some for my Victoria project in the coming year and wish I had CNC. I have the mill but I don't think I would use CNC enough to get value-for-money; may need to investigate a little further noting the great results you achieve.
You truly are the master of metal; those 'charley nobles' look great, and a neat construction technique. I am learning so much from following your build log; many thanks!
cheers
