  1. That looks awesome Glenn! I may just sneak that onto mine. Merry Christmas!
  2. Looking really good Fred, I think once you complete your planking and give it a nice block sanding it will look perfect. The tree nails are a very nice touch and a ton of work. Looking forward to your next update. JJ
  3. So many more important details at this stage that require much care and time. You’re surly going to pass me soon, I can’t foresee a time in the near future when I’ll be able to finish my Winnie.
  4. Very nice Glenn, brilliant job on the cat heads and cap rails! Your Winnie looks incredible! You’re getting very close to the finish line now. JJ
  5. That looks really good Tom, well done. Excellent design work.
  6. Thank you Glenn. Im hoping this will work well after some print modifications. She’s coming along…at a glacial pace.
  7. I have a small update on Portland, I’ve been designing a QG for 3D print, this is just an initial test to check rigidity of the structure and if it’s even possible. The QG will fit onto existing wood structure and should require a slight bit of finesse to attach to the hull. The basic structure and shape of the QG will be printed, once painted the moldings, columns, windows and carvings will all be in wood, so the finished QG should be very convincing. The model requires some revision but the basic idea looks promising so far. Thank you to @Gabek for his expertise and print assistance. JJ
  8. Lovely work David… it won’t be long until I have one of these printers now, simply excellent results at that scale! The prints also help highlight how well you executed many parts on the model by hand, well done indeed.
  9. Looks like it’s only really meant to be an engraver, which is still very handy for marking parts. You could perfectly mark out cabin and deck gear arrangements on a sub a deck piece, even etch the deck planking and margins. I am going to build a large model of RMS Olympic someday and intend to do all deck layouts exactly that way.
  10. Depends on the laser, I’m running a 105 watt and I can make easy work of 3/8” or 10mm material. I’ve been successfully cutting MDF at 1/4” without a hiccup. Of course having both machines would be ideal.
  11. Chris and Chuck are very successful with laser cutters, you can produce parts way quicker on a laser and they are very accurate. Im learning my machine still but I can see the potential. I think a CNC is definitely cleaner but takes longer and I’m not sure about it’s ability to cut perfect angles without a small radius on an inside cut, my laser definitely can.
