newbuilder101 Posted January 8, 2014 Author #580 Posted January 8, 2014 Augie: Thank-you! In this case the cold weather has been a good thing for the shipyard. Sjors: Thank-you! Maybe it won't be so long for the next update...hopefully. Grant: Thank-you! I had tried to cut the curved railings from some flat stock that I had but the tiny little ends kept breaking - the dowel method proved to be quite easy. Daniel: Thank-you! This is when I start to really enjoy the build the most, but not looking forward to the 100 plus cannons that have to be made sometime in the very near future! John: Thank-you as well!

newbuilder101 Posted January 18, 2014 Author #585 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I have a daunting task in my very near future, and that is fabricating 100 plus cannons at 1:96 scale. Although metal ones would be preferred, I neither have the budget to buy or the proper lathe to turn them. I have considered turning some from wood with a drill lathe, but even that will prove tricky at this small scale. I am wondering if anyone out there has made cannons using non-traditional materials such as the polymer clays Fimo or Sculpey? I was thinking of starting with a finely detailed base cannon and making a mold from that and then mass producing the rest? Any thoughts on this or any other materials? If so, please go to the following link: Cannon Question, to comment, where more members will be able to see it. Who knows it may help someone else too.

DORIS Posted January 20, 2014 #586 Posted January 20, 2014 Hello dear Sherry,Your model looks incredible, I admire the high level of quality of your work and wonderfully created details. It is a very nice inspiration. San Felipe is really difficult model to build of wood. I like it very much. I am looking forward to continuing of your masterpiece.I wish you a great pleasure during the build and a lot of fun.

newbuilder101 Posted January 24, 2014 Author #588 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was feeling a bit chilly while working on my model and stood up to put my sweater on, which somehow managed to attach itself to the ship!!!! The crack and crunch of wood as she hit the floor was a little sickening to say the least. Now I have to go and sit down, take some slow deep breaths, and figure out my plan of attack for repairs.....

gjdale Posted January 24, 2014 #589 Posted January 24, 2014 Oh Sherry! I'm so sorry to hear of that. The only consolation I can give is that wood is very forgiving and very repairable. You might recall that Danny had a similar oops with his Vulture a while back and managed to create an undetectable repair job. Good luck with the repairs - I'm sure you'll get plenty of advice if you need it. john2013 and newbuilder101 2 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout

casper1961 Posted January 25, 2014 #592 Posted January 25, 2014 Oh oh....not good. Yeah boats aren't meant to fly and when they do the landing its usually disastrous! Like Grant said, the saving Grace here is that it is wood and usually repairable. Glad to hear the repairs are under way already. Good luck on the repair...btw did the carving get damaged?

Augie: This is a club I'd rather not have joined, but onward and upward. Steve: You're wrong about one thing....she flew quite well...it was the landing that wasn't so great. The carving was unscathed, thankfully. Vivian: Painful it was! When you do get to the scratchbuilding stage - you will love it. Anja: It did hurt, but the repairs are going better than expected.
