Louie da fly Posted July 20, 2020 #91 Posted July 20, 2020 Could you glue square or rectangular section "stringers" to the inside surfaces of the sterncastle at the bottom, where they meet the rest of the hull? That might take up the slack without being too obvious. Keith Black 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

This project isn't dead -- far from it -- but it got temporarily derailed by a family visit and a higher-priority side project. I did get into the shipyard today to do a little work, but nothing worth a photograph. Cheers!

bigpetr Posted August 14, 2020 #100 Posted August 14, 2020 The cure is to do the model fast , while the initial spark still last🙂.

Louie da fly Posted August 15, 2020 #101 Posted August 15, 2020 Very true. I have to force myself to stay focussed on my current build - otherwise I'd be starting all kinds of new ones. I have a list a mile long of models I'd like to make, and it takes a considerable mental effort to keep on the same one and get it finished, particularly when I'm doing something repetitve and boring, but necessary to finish the model. Even now I've got two under way rather than one, but I've at least put one on hold till the other is finished. tarbrush, Chuck Seiler, Keith Black and 4 others 7 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted August 25, 2020 #115 Posted August 25, 2020 Really nice progress Chris. What glue do you use ?
