Beautiful work Ron! Great idea on those cleats! That looks so good all assembled. For softening PVA, I seem to get it free very quickly with denatured alcohol, usually in minutes. JJ -
Thank you Jim. Excited to see you start laying planks down.
-
That looks very nice Edward! Great job!
-
Nice work Matt, I actually think you weathered it just right, it looks realistic. I couldn’t get mine to stick well enough otherwise I would have loved more rust.
-
Those look really sharp Chuck, is that set a 3D printed prototype?
-
Looking like you’re off to a great start Rusty! I’m really looking forward to this chapter.

I stole them out of my constitution kit! I’ve heard that some folks have made their own with their Byrnes table saw….

That looks Great Chuck and a huge relief as well, I’m sure. She’s coming together very nicely.

Yes this is very clear and in my mind and they way I would approach, I know this is quite the challenge. Making lines and getting them angled right on the first try is also not easy. This looks very good.

Thank you Waldemar, there is no urgency here, I’m just very curious to whatever trick you have discovered.

I’m very interested in learning more about positioning things in space at multiple angles, I know when I do it, it requires multiple planes of view with several superset rotations or 3D rotate if you have a good reference.

Excellent work. The rigging is simply amazing, this is not easy on Rhino! Where are you obtaining rigging drawings/details? Or is this pretty common for the time and ship?

Wow! …. Just brilliant.

Thank you Matt, slightly scientific but still relying on the old eye test. Thank you Fred, very much looking forward to you resuming work on your Winnie, your cheerful looks very good. Thank you Waldemar, much appreciated. Thank you Rusty, my cleaning frequency has slightly regressed to bi-weekly lol. Thank you Glenn, you’ll be there sooner than you think by the looks of it. I’ve been using your build as a “you should go back and re-do that part” or “why didn’t I do it that way” kind of guide. 😆

Completed chapter 9 a few days ago and already onto 10. Spent a lot of time on fitting things, lots or test/sand/repeat, until it fits right . The railing was kinda tricky due to the fact that my bow is slightly out of shape from not checking/correcting this very early on but I made it work and am happy with the results. I spent a lot of time of the cat heads and trying my best to make them look identical, I even laid a batten down across them to make sure they were at the same angle, this being off would drive me nuts. the spanshackles were made from round copper wire and soldered, filed and then filed/sanded to look flat. Took a lot of care to make sure the belfry fit right, so I actually took adhesive backed sandpaper and stuck it to the part of the deck at which it would be glued down and gently sanded the deck camber into the bottom, I think it worked well. I pinned it down, it’s a certainty I will probably knock it off otherwise. Thanks for checking in. JJ ps. Please excuse my filthy model, it is an absolute sanding dust ball!

Moving right along Matt. She’s looking good!

Wonderful work Fred! Your cheerful has turned out just excellent. I think your rigging looks very nice and clean, it brings the model to life very well.

That looks really good Jim, she will probably fair out pretty easily.

Thank you Fred, practice makes perfect…. Or lots of imperfect leftovers… Thank you JP! Thanks Jim, I absolutely went crazy with it and just started ripping planks that I didn’t even need, just because it was fun and they looked so good. I can’t believe I didn’t get this sooner. I’m going to order a couple more so I never run out of them! Ha! Thank you Ron, your Euryalus is quite the build and is motivating me to jump into full POF.
-
Looks very clean and crisp, well done!
-
Thank you Edward. Sure thing Glenn, how many do you want? I’ve got lots of gently used ones that may work for you! lol Thank you Steve.
