J T Lombard Posted December 9, 2015 Share #32 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Paul In post #6 you asked how to apply "wipe on poly" to the interior of the boat with all the ribs in place.

I only did the outside. The interior is just cherry stain. Paul mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take longer to dry as you aren't able to wipe it out into a thin finish and work it into the wood like wiping with a rag, but it will soak in and I saw no problems with it. mtaylor, Canute and PAnderson 3 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

PAnderson Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share #35 Posted December 9, 2015 It was with a heavy heart that I decided to switch the type of models I built. I don't relish selling all of my stash. In most ways I build for the sake of building and working with my brain and my hands. I was always interested in working with wood and that is why I have a small shop in addition or in conjunction with model building. But model building has kind of taken control, LOL. I'm sure most of you know how that feels. But I am a huge WW2 history buff also. I have built the 1/200 USS Arizona and am part way through the 1/200 USS Missouri. And if anyone here has seen any of the Wingnut Wings kits of WW1 aircraft (I have 14), you may know what I am talking about. But I was always fearful of a big rigging job. Years ago I built the AL Swift and gifted it to my brother and his new wife. It is still on his mantle. I realized that wood ship kits come in all sizes and types and I don't really have to build rigged ships. This is why the admiralty models really peak my interest. But it's also not fair to say I will never do a rigging job. You never know until you try. Right?

PAnderson Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share #36 Posted December 11, 2015 Hello again. I appreciate all the comments and advice. This build has been a great little challenge and she is officially finished. As for my next build, I will decide for sure by the end of the year. I am leaning towards a much more challenging build such as the USF Confederacy and may very well start two at once just to break up some of the challenges involved. Here are the last of the pics involved in this beautiful little boat. Thanks to everyone and especially Chuck for designing this. It was just challenging enough to tell me this is what I want to do for the foreseeable future. I am sure I will build plastic again but I was getting burned out on it after so long.
