Remcohe Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share #65 Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks guys. Mark, you are too kind So I have a bit of bad news. So Dave (Midnight) saved my log previous to MSW’s move from 1.0 to 2.0. He was ever so kind to share these files with me to rebuild my buildlog. Unfortunately I’m not able to convert the PDF’sback to text to get them back into my buidlog. So instead of typing the lot over again I decided to put the PDF’s on a public share where every body who’s interested can download them from. To make live a little easier I compiled a small index so you now what to expect in each PDF. All the PDF's can be found here. I know it's a bit of a disappointment not to be able to put the information back into this log but the good news is nothing is lost. Any comments of how its working are welcome. And now it's time to make some sawdust!! Remco Quote Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Anja Posted February 19, 2013 Share #66 Posted February 19, 2013 Hello Remco, Thanks for the PDF's link. But on the Mac as well ason the IPad a lot of pictures aren't visible. Just a blank field. When I tried to open the PDF's on the Mac, Adobe gave the following message: Kan het ingesloten font 'PBFYFA+Verdana' niet uitnemen. Sommige tekens worden mogelijk niet weergegeven of worden niet goed afgedrukt. Translation below. (Can not remove the embedded font 'PBFYFA + Verdana". Some characters may not be displayed or will not be printed correctly.) Maybe it's the Mac (iOS) or our version of Adobe. I'm curious if it works on a Windows PC. Take care, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Remcohe Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share #67 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Anja, It works fine on my Mac and iPad. But what might be confusing is if a picture doesn't fit on the page it's moved to the next page but the box around it is showed on the previous page, suggesting a blank picture. So the third big picture in part one is on page 7. Okay, here's three little mast, the foremast is complete, I just need to blacken the bolts. And for the mizzen mast there is a span to be fitted, but I'm struggling the get a 2" rope served properly, still need to work on my skills there...

BANYAN Posted February 20, 2013 Share #77 Posted February 20, 2013 That is some very excellent craftsmanship Remco.

Sjors Posted February 21, 2013 Share #78 Posted February 21, 2013 Hi Remco, Every time when I take a look at your build and that from the others that where doing scratch build, I think I'm doing self-flagellation….. Unbelievable what you guys are doing with wood. I say it before and I'm saying it again, you and the other guys are not from this world! What you can do with wood is outrageous.

Remcohe Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share #81 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys for you tremendously kind words. So last week I had a bit of modelers block, don't know where it comes from but happens once in a while. Drove the admiral crazy..... Finally I got over it by cleaning up the shop, and got back to work. I'm in the progress of making the Jeer tye blocks, these are massive 20" blocks. For a split second I thought of carving the shaves just like the smaller blocks, but having seen Michael Mott's blocks I just couldn't leave it like that. Advise on the size of the axle for the shave is much appreciated Bigger isn't easier, getting the shapes uniform is a real headache....

Trussben Posted February 24, 2013 Share #82 Posted February 24, 2013 Damn Remco, how the hell do you make such beautiful blocks, it's insane what you are capable of. One day in the far future I would love to be able to even scratch the surface of what you achieve every day. Ben BANYAN 1 Quote Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM. HMS Winchelsea.

BANYAN Posted February 24, 2013 Share #83 Posted February 24, 2013 Ditto - very very nice work on tose blocks (now, if you are thinking of trashing one or two yoiu are not completely happy with, just send them my way, they'll be better than I could produce right now ) cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvm27 Posted February 24, 2013 Share #84 Posted February 24, 2013 It's ironic that you overcame modeler's block by modelling blocks. They're quite perfect, as usual. As an aside when I'm facing similar burnout I usually end up cleaning the shop and starting on something simple.

SJSoane Posted February 24, 2013 Share #85 Posted February 24, 2013 Nice, Remco, very nice. Do you have a plan for how to mass-produce the smaller blocks?

druxey Posted February 24, 2013 Share #86 Posted February 24, 2013 I find producing blocks on an 'as needed' basis, rather than all at once, works for me. Perhaps it's less efficient, but it's a lot less daunting that way.

cog Posted February 26, 2013 Share #89 Posted February 26, 2013 Thought you would make them in the same way you did the other blocks. Although these look to be approximately 9 mm. A bit easier on the sheaves. Still very well done. With regards to the sheave's pin, maybe this pdf (http://www.ulvencompanies.com/documents/Skookum%20General%20Catalog_Rev%2001-10_lo%20res.pdf) will shead some light on it Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

michael mott Posted February 26, 2013 Share #90 Posted February 26, 2013 Remco, those blocks are looking quite superior, as far as the hole size it would be good to use one of the standard rod sizes that is about the same size as the rope strop diameter. I found it useful to drill the hole before doing any of the rounding and shaping I laid out the shape with some 45 degree elipse templates.
