19th Century 31-ton Revenue Cutter by CharlieZardoz - Scale 1/64 - building as USRC Active based off Doughty plans and BlueJacket Shipcrafters kit


Recommended Posts

Hi Charlie - 

 

Just got back in the city on a semi-permanent basis.  Unpacked, refilled the pantry and fridge, and got a chance to look through MSW.  You have certainly made a lot of progress, and all of it quite nicely done.  Bravo.     The planking and trenneling came out particularly well.

 

I like the copper tape too.  I made the impressions from the back side, through the paper, so they made positive bumps on the face of the tape.  Then I burnished the bumps back down so the final look was of a flush circular blemish, which looked a lot like the flatheaded nails that were used.  

I'm wondering what yours will look like if you burnish the face of the tape.  Might be an improvement over mine.

 

Here's a toast to an effective vaccine in the very near future so we can start up club meetings again and I can see your stuff in person.

 

Stay safe and well

 

Dan
