davec Posted January 2 Author Share #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 Share #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 Share #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. kurtvd19, MEDDO, Paul Le Wol and 7 others 9 1 Quote Current builds: Wingnut Wings AMC DH9 Model Shipways 1/48 Longboat Model Shipways 1/24 Grand Banks Dory Soon to start: Fully framed Echo Completed builds: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryland Craze Posted January 29 Share #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. robert952 and kurtvd19 2 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
