Kevin Kenny Posted October 18, 2018 Author #105 Posted October 18, 2018 These are the three bits i use with the Turbo carver to refine and clean up my blocks. Good blocks are essential to a realistic model. bsaylor 1 Quote

Hmm, I can see the pictures, and she is looking great. Ok, there is one duplicate "silkspan drying" post that has no pictures, but otherwise they are there. Looking forward to how you do the furled sails with the silkspan. And by the way, the holes in the top mast that you have the question about....I checked the plans for the bluejacket kit and it does not have those holes, so sorry, no help there.

If anyone can figuer it out let me know. I know our kit does not show this. In general, sheaves were put in topmasts so a line could run from the mastcap thru the sheave and back up to a block on the mastcap. This line would let you lift the topmast so you could take out the fid and hence lower the topmast. gsdpic and bsaylor 2 Quote
Javlin Posted October 22, 2018 #111 Posted October 22, 2018 I like your videos Kevin got to watch the rest(taking me away from building) they have removed some fear that I have and a different build/thought process. Kevin Quote

Kevin Kenny Posted October 28, 2018 Author #113 Posted October 28, 2018 These photos show the clean up and the positioning of the lines as they come out of the corners. It should be an easy fix. zappto and bsaylor 2 Quote
Haliburton Posted October 28, 2018 #114 Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Kevin, I’ve enjoyed your videos and am following your log. I had a question about The Royal Navy series by Clowes near your workbench. Realizing this series dates back a 100 years or so, do you find this is a helpful resource for the modeller of period ships or is it more for the historian that lives within all of us? Your thoughts are appreciated. Scott bsaylor 1 Quote Currently building: HM Yacht Chatham - 1:64 - Caldercraft
Kevin Kenny Posted October 29, 2018 Author #115 Posted October 29, 2018 Hi Scott when i had just started my modeling passion i had access to very little printed material and started collecting any books i could get my hands on. In a moment of weakness i purchased this series. To be honest i have accessed it very few times. bsaylor 1 Quote
