davec Posted January 2 Author #65 Posted January 2 Thanks everyone for the very kind comments. I will post pictures of the case when done. I ordered the acrylic sheet yesterday. It should arrive this weekend. My daughter is in town, so I probably won't start work on it until after she heads home. Ryland - I'm planning on bringing the model to the club meeting this month. I'll probably put the plans/books/printed out practicum/jigs/building boards up at the club auction in February - hopefully someone in the club will be interested in building it.

davec Posted January 3 Author #69 Posted January 3 Again, thanks for the kind comments - I really appreciate them. Chuck - your rope walk was amazing! Much better results than the much more complicated/expensive machine I was using before, and much more fun to use. I need to go a little tighter next time, but that was me, not the machine. I highly recommend for anyone planning to make their own rope.

davec Posted January 28 Author #70 Posted January 28 The Sharpie has its new home. The display case was my second adventure with acrylic after making some additional shelves for one of my display cases, and the first time I tried gluing it. I'm very happy with how the display case came out. It is 1/4" acrylic with a peruvian walnut base. I still have some fogging to rub out from where I sanded and polished the joints, but they are on the side and not that visible. I got to use the acrylic table saw blade and router table I got for Christmas - it was a fun project. cotrecerf, ccoyle, GrandpaPhil and 10 others 12 1 Quote Current builds: Wingnut Wings 1/32 Halberstadt Cl.II Model Shipways 1/48 Longboat Model Shipways 1/24 Grand Banks Dory Soon to start: Fully framed Echo Completed builds: Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk.Ia Wingnut Wings AMC DH9 East Coast Oyster Sharpie Echo Cross Section 1/48 Scratchbuilt Hannah from Hahn plans 1/64 Kitbashed Rattlesnake from Bob Hunt practicum 1/64 Brig Supply
Ryland Craze Posted January 29 #71 Posted January 29 You did an excellent job on your display case. The simplicity of the design of the case enhances the beauty and elegance of your Sharpie.

JacquesCousteau Posted November 21 #72 Posted November 21 My apologies for re-opening a finished thread, but I wanted to ask, what are the dimensions of the finished model? I can't find the size on the NRG page, and am considering whether these plans would be a good candidate for rescaling to 1:32 scale. Not only does the model look fantastic, by the way--love the natural wood color!--but the case is also great.
