ESF Posted July 8, 2018 #181 Posted July 8, 2018 Steve, Your wonderful talents and skill make me even more appreciative of your comments on my newbie work. The pinnace and longboat are very elegant. Congratulations. Steve Tigersteve 1 Quote
Tigersteve Posted July 16, 2018 Author #182 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) The acrylic display box arrived from https://www.casesforcollectibles.com/ I did not order from the previous company because of high shipping costs. The box arrived well packaged and I am pleased with the quality. However, I did not realize the top surfaces along the width would be rounded. This distorts the view from some angles. The case should probably be about an inch taller and perhaps an inch deeper. This was another tricky photographing session. It’s much more clear in person.

ESF Posted July 17, 2018 #183 Posted July 17, 2018 A very elegant build and an equally elegant presentation. I think the case looks great. I particularly like the 3/4 view. Who looks through the curved edge at a model anyway? If it was wood framed the edge would block the view completely. Great job, and thanks for sharing. Steve JesseLee and Tigersteve 2 Quote
MEDDO Posted July 18, 2018 #184 Posted July 18, 2018 I like the case. How do you like the black base? Is it too shiny? It seems to reflect quite a bit.

Tigersteve Posted July 18, 2018 Author #185 Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for the compliments and likes. Mike- I like the black base. It is a glossy finish, but that doesn’t distract from the model. I just wish I had increased the dimensions a bit. I’ll have to get used to it. It’s a bit different design and finish than the case for the longboat.

Fright Posted July 18, 2018 #186 Posted July 18, 2018 I believe that the black base compliments the wood used in your stand and boat and, when looking at your boat from above, helps to dissolve into the background. What a wonderful finish for a beautiful build. Tigersteve 1 Quote Robert O

This allowed the next plank from the garboard a better fit into the rabbet. The port side plank remains to be fitted. After this is complete the hull will be lined off. Each plank fitted is a small victory. Steve Hello Steve. Wonderful work. I like your idea of using maple, but I haven’t been successful in finding any milled at these sizes. I can’t seem to find the Project Wood Source you reference. Do you (or anyone reading) happen to have any suggestions where I can find some? Many thanks for your time and efforts.

Tigersteve Posted February 10, 2021 Author #190 Posted February 10, 2021 I don’t believe they are in business any longer. This source for wood is supposed to be good but I don’t know if they mill strips. Doesn’t hurt to contact them. https://ocoochhardwoods.com JesseLee, EricWilliamMarshall and JpR62 3 Quote Current: Mayflower- Model Shipways Completed: Lowell Grand Banks Dory- Model Shipways English Pinnace- Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat- Model Shipways
