Post 72: Final Touches

 

The Stanchions were turned using a hand drill, small chisels and needle files;

The flag was printed on tissue paper.  At first I tried printing on both sides using registration marks but exact alignment was still this difficult as the tissue paper moves slightly in the printer.  So in the end I used Chuck’s method of printing on one side only and spraying with matt fixative.  The flag was then folded over a short length of 0.2 mm thread and attached to the flag halyard:

Thanks Dodgeyhack, Chuck, and all of the other "likes".  Yes, Chuck, I found it a very satisfying build and I certainly learnt a lot.

Great work John. Beautifully done. I am still working on my Cheerful and very behind on my log. I stay home all of the time except Dr's appointments and yet I contracted the Covid crap. After getting from the hospital. I have not felt like doing anything. Just no energy. They say it will pass but could fool me.When it does, I will get back her.

In any case nice work

Thanks, Ric.

 

I know the feeling as I am hospital myself at the moment, though not with Covid.  However, it is still frustrating as I would like to start on another model.

Congratulations on finishing your Cheerful. It looks great. 

Thanks for your kind comments, Glenn.  I am in hospital at the moment so this is the first chance I have had to respond. Hoping to get on to another model in a week or so, maybe the Longboat. Unfortunately there are shipping issues from the US to out here at the moment because of Covid.

 

Thanks, again,

 

John
