FriedClams Posted April 12, 2020 Share #122 Posted April 12, 2020 This model is coming along very nicely Kevin. It is a very interesting vessel and I always enjoy seeing builds of subjects that are out of the ordinary. Your clear explanation of the building process is much appreciated - and of course the videos are great.

Kevin Kenny Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share #123 Posted April 12, 2020 What is interesting Gary is very few people in our country knew about this service far less about the first steamship that formed part of our rail service. This boat provided an essential communication link for many years. mtaylor and FriedClams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvesvidal Posted April 17, 2020 Share #133 Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Beautiful boat Kevin. I know this is slightly different, but it reminds me of the movie Fitzcarraldo, with the crazy Klaus Kinski and the gorgeous Claudia Cardinale: Yves Edited April 17, 2020 by yvesvidal Moab and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share #134 Posted April 17, 2020 I decided to attempt to make the deck rings for the air scoops from mahogany. Was very gently on the cutting as it is very difficulty because it is such a soft wood. Before sanding i saturated them with thin CA to give the wood cells some strength and to prevent them from breaking. Used the Turbo Carver to sand as it is very gentle on the pieces. To my amazement none of them broke. druxey, G.L., GrandpaPhil and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
