Sometimes, there are dental clinics, even dental colleges, who offer discount prices. It requires a specialty to sedate the patient. A standard dentist cannot do it. That's one reason it's so much more expensive. Puts me out of the equation then.

lmagna Posted April 12, 2019 Share #846 Posted April 12, 2019 Oh I have no shortage of excuses! The latest is a doozie, I will probably be able to milk it for a few months at least. But then if I was making headway on my own builds then I would have less time to follow the fantastic builds you guys are doing and I am so jealous of. Right now I am content on watching my betters produce works of quality that I am following in spirit rather than trying to match in person. Hopefully things will settle down by the end of summer or sooner and some other crisis will not appear from nowhere and distract my building desires further. popeye the sailor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than to say that our "new" system is not really any good for the majority of people, especially those at the lower income level that it is supposedly designed for. Now days instead of not being covered, all to much of the coverage offered is ineffective as it does not cover the things it should. This is especially true with the dental coverage available both through Government and private sources.

Old Collingwood Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share #858 Posted April 15, 2019 Good day all another good day - I decided to make the footropes on the lower foreyard, I know they have one support in the middle each side, and as I wanted this to be straight and hang down correctly, so I tried some fine fuse wire - I wrapped this arround the yard then twisted it together in tight twists and left the two end loose, I then attached som fine thread around the opposing side of the yard, then twisted the ends of the fuse wire around the thread and tied the ends and dabbed some ca to lock it. I made sure it had some sag and touched up the fuse wire - I think it looks ok.
