dvm27 Posted January 22, 2016 Share #181 Posted January 22, 2016 That's a beautiful mother/daughter photo, Ed. It would be a shame to leave junior in it's unfinished state as she is so lovely. But I can understand how burned out you may be after rigging the larger one. Is there any task more repetitive than rigging a clipper ship? mtaylor, EdT, Piet and 3 others 6 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgbot Posted January 24, 2016 Share #184 Posted January 24, 2016 Ed I have learned many techniques through your build. I like the way you made your rails. My method for the bow and stern was usually doing a laminating build and then just painting it. Now I have learned another way thank you.

EdT Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share #185 Posted January 24, 2016 Thank you all. Its a pleasure doing this when I think someone may benefit. Of course from return comments and suggestions that beneficiary is often me as well. Greg, for me a task that rivals rigging is by far making a lot of cannons - and rigging them of course. I did that once. Cheers everyone. I've got a lot of snow to blow today.

GDM67 Posted January 24, 2016 Share #186 Posted January 24, 2016 Hi Ed, as with your Naiad, there are so many great lessons packed into this log that can be transferred into any build. I really appreciate the time you are taking to explain them. Best, Gary GLakie, pjofc4, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglaspbrown Posted January 31, 2016 Share #188 Posted January 31, 2016 Hi Ed: Your method of POB building is really great! I started scratch building the Flying Fish last year. I came to an impasse with the bow and stern. With looking over your POB techniques, I have re-started the project. I have started building the bow and stern using your techniques. Once completed the new bow and stern will be grafted onto the solid model. I will need to cut off the existing bow and stern to make room for the new bow and stern.

Wintergreen Posted January 7, 2017 Share #189 Posted January 7, 2017 A belated "Well done", or maybe a "Pass with distinction" applies better. I just spent this Saturday evening browsing through this blog and your work, albeit on a simpler construction, is up to you usual standard. It tickles my mind that I need to return to the workshop doing small work instead of handling wall boards, floor sanding equipment and alike on my spare time... Many thanks for your inspirational work, Ed! mtaylor, EdT and Canute 3 Quote Happy modelling!

EdT Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share #190 Posted January 8, 2017 Wow, W2YSM, I am really behind in following this blog - a year since my last visit. Somehow I missed the notice on your post. Sorry. I am glad the YA POB work was helpful to you. Hakan, I feel your pain with the wall board and floor sanding - tasks that I am grateful are far in my past.

rwiederrich Posted January 12, 2022 Share #192 Posted January 12, 2022 Ed while revisiting your log for the 1/96 version....I couldn't help but wonder if you ever got back to her and finished up her masting and rigging? It has only been nearly 6 years and I was wondering if you had found new fire within to take her to the finish line? I'm just now beginning the masting and rigging of my scratch 1/96 Glory of the Seas...myself.
