TBlack Posted November 17, 2015 Share #38 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Bob, Wonderful subject to model. I'm with everyone else; 1:96 is a good choice, and 20" isn't terribly long. I'm gathering that you're pretty good with the computer. Not only in finding your source site, but also in maneuvering autocad. I love it when us older guys can manipulate the new technology!

captainbob Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share #39 Posted November 17, 2015 Tom, Welcome aboard. I went from drafting board to AutoCAD in the early 80's and then to SolidWorks in the mid 90's. When I came back to AutoCAD in retirement I had to learn 2D all over again. Ah the joys of ageing a lot of things are new again.

captainbob Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share #49 Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks Pete and David. "Are you going to stain or paint her?" Ah yes that's the big question. She's a Coast Guard ship whit a steel hull that was probably painted Navy gray. Steel, hum, that means no wood grain showing doesn't it. Hum. Well hopefully it will be a surprise, Maybe to me as well. Ah yes, just like a Zen master, I never know the end results until it happens.

captainbob Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share #58 Posted December 13, 2015 Hi All, Usually I build my models from hull lines and photographs. So there’s a lot of guesswork that goes on. But I’m sure glad I have good drawings this time because I’ve never seen the bollards and cleats mounted on the bulwarks instead of the deck. And I wouldn’t have believed 36” cleats. But here it is. There is an ‘L’ shaped steel plate riveted to the bulwark and deck and then the cleats and bollards are mounted to the plates. Bob Laying out the cleats. Bollard and cleat mounted.
