russ Posted March 25, 2013 Share #32 Posted March 25, 2013 Bob: That is a really neat trick for making buckets. Thanks for sharing it. They look really good. On the bands, the brass looks great.

cog Posted March 26, 2013 Share #35 Posted March 26, 2013 Bob, Nifty trick making the buckets. Inventive how you made th 'brassed' hoops for them too.

popeye the sailor Posted March 26, 2013 Share #36 Posted March 26, 2013 really bad week end.......had to work and didn't get around like I usually do. I must say you picked a cool color for the interior.....kind of like a trainer yellow.......like the Denny-zen! I knew you liked the color...... LOL! your bucket method is cool.......turns out a really cool bucket. you can get a lot of that sheet brass as well as other alloys from places that sell model train stuff. look in the clearance bins as well.........good deals to be had! very nice progress thus far......meanwhile, I'll try to keep more in step......I hate having to catch up like this Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

captainbob Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks guys, I have plenty of brass and could have used it but I thought "If Gene can use card stock why not me?".

captainbob Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share #39 Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks Mark, Making repetitive parts reminds me of a story. A man driving down a country road sees some handmade furniture in front of a house. He liked the look of one of the chairs and asks the price. The craftsman said $35.00. The man thinking the chair would make nice dining room chairs orders a set of eight. The craftsman says “That will be $2000.00.” The man complains and asks why so much. The craftsman says . . . “The first one was fun”. So now two more buckets. Bob Nirvana, EricWilliamMarshall, hopeful and 1 other 3 1 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

captainbob Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share #49 Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks to everyone who has been watching this build. I sorry it’s been so long since the last entry. I’m going to call this one done for now. I hope to do something else and use this dory then but for now this is it. The gear shown is: a Line bucket, a bait bucket, a lunch bucket, oars, a club, a bailing scoop, a cutting board and knife, on the thwart and a coil of rope. There is a divider about in the middle of the boat. The fisherman is in the bow with all the gear and he loads the fish into the other end. You will notice there is no sail. Use of a sail was up to the fisherman. The way I heard it stated is. The schooner is the dormitory and kitchen but the dory is the fisherman’s home, (he in it about 12 hours a day) and he modifies it to his liking. Here are the pictures for now. The admiral saw a picture of a sweet little gaff rigged yawl and said “That would be a nice model”, and what the admiral wants. . .
