glbarlow Posted May 16 Share #241 Posted May 16 Looking great Matt. Those railings are a great look and no small thing to get right. Well done!

Matt D Posted May 18 Author Share #242 Posted May 18 Thanks, Glenn. Yes, they are tricky. I think this would be some of the things Chuck refers to as "fiddly bits". And I agree. I've actually been working on these railings for months, but in really small time increments. That has given me a lot of time to think about what I was doing, which helped me do a better job on them.

glbarlow Posted May 18 Share #243 Posted May 18 I then proceeded to knock one off while doing fenders. Fortunately it was PVA glue that gave and not the wood, so it was an easy fix.

Matt D Posted Saturday at 12:12 PM Author Share #245 Posted Saturday at 12:12 PM I know what you mean, Frank. My kids are in high school sports, so I spend a lot of time at games and meets. And I’ve been traveling for work way too much this year. I’ve got a long trip to the UK coming up this fall and I’m hoping to visit the National Maritime Museum while I’m there. Don’t get me wrong: I love going to my kids events and I know this time is fleeting. I also love what I do for work and I’m getting a lot of time with customers this year. But I have a place picked out to display Winnie, and instead she’s on the bench being neglected. scrubbyj427 1 Current Build: HMS Winchelsea 1:48 (Group Project) Completed Builds: Virginia 1819 Artesania Latina - 1:41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
