mtaylor Posted August 24, 2018 #122 Posted August 24, 2018 Nice work on cutting her free, Al. That's always a surprise when you cut them loose, they're so light... and pretty strong. lmagna 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
alde Posted August 25, 2018 Author #123 Posted August 25, 2018 Thanks Mark. I’m taking a break from working on the hull right now and am playing with the carvings. Just practicing right now on scrap wood but it’s going ok. mtaylor and lmagna 2 Quote The heart is happiest when the head and the hands work together.

alde Posted August 26, 2018 Author #124 Posted August 26, 2018 Thank you Lawrence. You’ll be there before you know it. You are build a larger and much more complex ship and doing a great job of it at that. Along with learning how to carve the decorations I’m making my treenails. I know you were trying to decide on a material to use for them. I decided on bamboo for two reasons. I want them to be very subtle as they would not really even show at this scale. Second I couldn’t draw any other wood through the Byrnes draw plate without constant breaking. Once I got the hang of the bamboo it went easy. lmagna and mtaylor 2 Quote The heart is happiest when the head and the hands work together.
