scott larkins Posted January 22, 2014 Share #121 Posted January 22, 2014 OH, just read this. Sorry to hear about that man. Take care of yourself first, the model is not going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share #122 Posted January 24, 2015 My goodness! Have I been away this long? Ah, well. I DO have other interests, though. But I've got to missing these model-building trials and tribulations and was wondering if I could rustle up the energy to continue this thing. Blew the dust off the deck, the Ratt hanging in the basement rafters on the build board. No ill has come to it thankfully. Re-inserted some missing photos in the log on pages 5-7. No promises, but I might actually continue after taking some time to review where I left off ( and if I can manage to keep that devil cat from getting into the fiddly bits......)

RiverRat Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share #126 Posted August 2, 2016 Well! Long time, no sea! Finally getting back to this. Finished installing the sheave blocks in the bulwarks, except for a little sanding down and touching up/repairing chipped inner planking to do yet. The inner planking is only 0.5mm and I had some delaminating until I settled down and got more careful. Somewhat of a pain-in-the-@r$e process, 75% happy with how they look, and 100% relieved to get through it! Here are two typical. A couple better, some not. Next, after the touching up: thoroughly review the planking tutorials (it's been too long since last time....) and plank the lower hull. Cheers!

Professor Posted December 21, 2016 Share #127 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Ah, good to see you've returned to the fray. The crispness of your precision woodworking is most admirable. I've always been fond of this sleek privateer and will be following the build with great interest. Meanwhile, good sir, you have my kindest wishes for a merry Christmas or joyous Hanukkah and a most rewarding New Year.
