Chance" (1902)

i like the idea of an ask Augie Column

a poorly coppered hull looks worse than a poorly planked hull, must be the scale thing, and not being able to touch up with a bit of filler.But like all my modeling skills practise makes perfect (well a little bit better in my case), i like to see a coppered hull

Paul would you like to put your build (profile photo) into the following topic please, so that others may see your work

i am continuing doing the stbd side, the cat head is finished and fixed/pinned, and i managed to successfully make the strip underneath it, cutting the wale was my biggest heartache, as i found it hard to mark everything and get the angle right, but like everything else, it will get done, all a learning curve

i used the brass profile, and bent with molegrips and a vice, then used fine wet and dry to rub out any marks, and yes it is fairly acute angle

Astounding how well the proud lady looks.  Can I ask when that photo was taken?

i googgled for a photo, so i don't have a date, the photo stock didn't provide it

Wow - she looks better than mine at 1/72

have a look in here,  that's one of the reasons,why i started it

i reduced the thickness of the side rails of my ladder to fit within the coaming, as i remember i had a similar problem

Not much to show for the few hours i have put in on the build this weekend, the bow timbers that fit into the head timbers are giving me a nightmare, with the decorative strip that flares in from under the cat-head, 

The rail that comes from under the cathead cuts unto the upper wale and stops where the the upper head timber strip comes into contact with the hull

WOW

thank-you so much for reposting

There's a simple answer Piet but it's not a simple matter. The simple answer? You can put a boat on a ship but you can't put a ship on a boat, or one man can make a boat but one man can't make a ship. It might take many men to make a boat but it'll always take a lot of men to make a ship. A friend once answered the same question like this:

that's how i was told

i was looking for a British company that provides a service like Lumber-yard, providing different lumber sets in different woods to complete semi scratch models, apparently there are not any.

dam - lol -i have been going to slimming world since 4th jan this year, that picture - is just not good news
