Is there a retailer in the area specializing in scale model kits? Dave, regarding your question of a retailer specializing in scale model kits, unfortunately we do not. We do have a couple of hobby shops, but they are more geared to remote control plane enthusiasts. Cheers, Donn Canute and Piet 2 Quote

My friend (another modeler) and I will be getting together for lunch soon, we'll discuss the pros/cons. Personally, unless I am specifically looking for something (which very infrequent), I never look at the classified ads; but, as the saying goes..."nothing ventured nothing gained".

SawdustDave Posted February 9, 2018 Author #498 Posted February 9, 2018 Input request.... Spent all morning researching the mounting of the Connie’s boats. I guess the general conclusion being that we have a lot of latitude in terms of the main hatch launch.... whether or not to stack a cutter on top of the larger launch. I am opting to not stack the cutter, although I may decide later to mount a cutter on the display base. My immediate question is the method of securing the launch over the main hatch. So many versions to be found in my browsing. Three ropes with simple hooks into eye bolts? Or more elaborate block and tackle rigging as was done by our dear friend Tom? Any thoughts? mtaylor, Canute, CaptainSteve and 1 other 4 Quote Sawdust Dave - Current build - USS Constitution 1:60th (scratch)....

SawdustDave Posted February 12, 2018 Author #503 Posted February 12, 2018 Boat oars.... The oars are a bit of a challenge, with well over thirty of them needed for the four boats. After several attempts at turning the long oars on my lathe, following Ken's method, I must confess complete failure.... decided to take a different approach. I ripped several strips of bamboo to the exact width of the oar blade and marked off the handle length..... two oars per strip. Then I set my small table saw blade to rip each side of the handles up to the blade marks.... then removed the outside material, leaving the handles..... (as seen in the third strip below). It then became a simple matter of rounding the handles down and then start pulling them through a draw plate to get the scale size. The blades were then very easily shaped with sanding boards.

SawdustDave Posted March 7, 2018 Author #504 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) PROGRESS.... It's been a while, so I took a couple of shots of the current stage of progress on my attempt to frame out the beak structure. The cat head carvings.... Somewhat disappointed at the details after painting them, but I'm going with them.... these were cut off and glued to the cat heads before installing. I'll come back to them in my next posting. Then there's the framing out of the beak structure. I am really embarrassed to admit the number of "do-overs" required to get to this stage. Ready to add the top rails and panels and then begin adding the white edge trimming. Grating and heads installed....

SawdustDave Posted March 11, 2018 Author #510 Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks Tom, Pat, and Piet (and all the visits from friends). As you would expect, the starboard side went considerably smoother. Here's the single shot taken this morning before I begin working on the unfinished inboard bulwarks in the bow and stern area.
