I think I did the .045” rope, I’ll check out yours again. I’ve been a real cannon snob and I’ve been buying Chucks turned brass ones and blackening them, I’ve been happy with those but the resin ones people are using look great as well. unfortunately I’ve haven’t invested in a 3D printer yet so off to shapeways I go with this one! -
Ugh I know, I never look forward to rigging guns but it’s rewarding when finished. I’ve been on the fence about rigging them and sticking with Chucks recipe but then it just gets too tempting and I think I have to do it. Thanks for noticing the lanterns, once I complete chapter 6 or at least the aft end of it it, I will start with 7 and my lantern production will begin as all my LED’s are loosely awaiting their final positions. I’m toying with 3D printing them as solid units in clear and just painting the details on, they are a small production to make.

Just out of curiosity, what was the learning curve like with it? On first impression it doesn’t seem too difficult. Have you had decent results with importing 2D drawings and sculpting off those?

Ahh so you’re a Z brush user too! I’ve been playing with the free version and quickly realizing I need to step up if I’m going to make any quality carvings. I need to invest some time into really learning that program, it’s incredibly useful in our hobby. JJ

Yes indeed, I've been renovating my home so that pretty much consumes all my time... and money! I’d like to get chapter 6 going soon.

Looking really good! Are you modeling those figures or just manipulating them! Either way they look awesome!
-
Fred, I agree with everyone else, your Winnie is definitely looking great, you should finish her and be proud. It’s quite the accomplishment. JJ
-
Looks really nice! I agree with Mike, watch those joints and you won’t be disappointed. JJ
-
Looking good Kurt! I Like the planing idea, lots of material to remove.
-
That looks really good Guillermo! That’s definitely the hardest part of the deck and you’re making it look easy. Your cherry coamings and grates look wonderful next to the cedar. JJ

Those look really good Siggi, the attention to detail is wonderful and I love how you added the small details to the transverse combing beams.

Beautiful work! Following this build with much interest!
-
That looks excellent Rusty! Your Winnie has such a warm inviting tone with the pear! I can’t wait to rejoin the party!

Beautiful work Bob! She looks wonderful!

Those are looking really good Matt! I may have to order a set of those pins I like those. Are you going to add all the tackle to your guns?
-
Just remember rum and not bleach, Kevin! The corona won’t stand a chance. Get well soon
-
Allan and Druxey, you both make great points, I wonder if the material that is shown to be “cut” takes into account that taper in the stem. If not it will look quite odd with a stem that ends up being narrower than the piece allows for. JJ
-
Ahh I see now! I looked at the wrong Lion it’s this one: I can see what you are dealing with now. I would ask Tom @cafmodel. Seems strange he didn’t cnc the remaining material out. Seems like you need a mill or a blade and a lot of patience now. JJ
-
Isn’t there a clear cutout in the middle for it to sit on the stem? Just a quick shot of the lion on CAF’s website shows this: if that is the case i would say just slowly trim material away to get a nice snug fit. JJ
