newbuilder101 Posted April 15, 2014 Author #786 Posted April 15, 2014 Not to worry Popeye, at least you asked about dolphins and not something that doesn't exist on my ship - then we'd know there's a problem. Thank-you Dan! It will take me a while to get her fully dressed - lots of work ahead! Thank-you for the generous comments, and welcome aboard Mike!

newbuilder101 Posted May 4, 2014 Author #793 Posted May 4, 2014 Finally a bit of an update! First photo shows some shaped pieces at the bow. In my eagerness to finish and install these and the fancy trim overlay, I forgot to take pictures and these pieces are virtually hidden now! Next up were the catheads and trim, made from basswood square stock. I used copper sheet to cut strips and fashion the brackets that hold the catheads down. Everything is assembled. Then installed on the model. I used copper wire to simulate bolts. Here's a bow shot with catheads installed and bow braces and trim pieces. This picture shows the copper brackets blackened with liver of sulphur. I used EdT's method of soaking them in acetone first, to clean and remove any coating that may have been present. Then I dipped a small paint brush in dilute liver of sulphur and applied to the brackets in situ, followed by a water rinse - it worked like a charm! Just a slightly different angle. That's it for now. mtaylor, firdajan, popeye the sailor and 29 others 32 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

newbuilder101 Posted May 9, 2014 Author #810 Posted May 9, 2014 Another small update..... New additions include the vertical strips of wood on the hull mid-ship. I'm not sure of the name or function of these timbers, but I'm wondering if they could be for protection of the hull when the lowering of the ship's boats? Also added are more ornamentation pieces, such as the eagles and the piece at the top of the gallery door. Now to make these same pieces for the port side.
