Red Rhino Posted May 15, 2019 #123 Posted May 15, 2019 Wow! Your Battle station is magnificent! I’m so glad your bringing it to Manitowoc! EJ_L and Canute 2
shipshaper Posted May 15, 2019 #124 Posted May 15, 2019 I'm getting ready to leave for NM and will miss not being able to see the Battle Station. We are not that far apart, maybe I can view it at a later date. I would wish you best of luck at the show but you don't need it 😉! Take care EJ_L, Canute and mtaylor 3
Overworked724 Posted May 22, 2019 #125 Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Dave So glad to see you in Mannitowoc and have an opportunity to see your Battle Station in person! It really was inspiring and your attention to detail was absolutely incredible! Had a question - where did you get the variety of woods used in your build?

DocBlake Posted May 22, 2019 Author #126 Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Patrick! Thanks for the kind words, and congratulations to you, again! Great job on Sultana! I get a lot of my wood locally at a hardwood distributor called Kettle Moraine Hardwoods. Swiss pear and boxwood are sourced from the internet. I have a full size shop in addition to my miniature shop so I mill all my own wood. Overworked724, Osmosis, EJ_L and 2 others 5 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!

DocBlake Posted May 23, 2019 Author #127 Posted May 23, 2019 I don’t like to blow my own horn much, but both my Battle Station and my 17th Century Naval Cannon won silver awards in scratch built categories at Manitowoc. It was fun to be involved and meet so many great people! Osmosis, yvesvidal, MEDDO and 7 others 10 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!

It was fun to be involved and meet so many great people! Dave - you should absolutely blow that horn! I was reviewing my pics of your work on my phone. Honestly, your build log pics don't do your work justice. I particularly loved your Battle Station which I think was absolutely flawless. The craftsmanship and detail are still making me shake my head. Very Very well done and twice deserved! Canute, mtaylor, EJ_L and 1 other 4 ---------------------------------------------------- “Here.
