Bitao Posted December 10, 2020 Author #65 Posted December 10, 2020 It took me four months to redecorate my workshop, and then I made some tools of my own and put off the construction of the hull. For those of you who care about the progress of the ship, I'm sorry. Should be back on track by the end of the year.... WalrusGuy, mtaylor, GuntherMT and 5 others 8 Quote

Mirabell61 Posted December 10, 2020 #67 Posted December 10, 2020 Hi HYW, it is masterful modeling all the way to date.... I also love the way you make your boats, the windless and the bilge pump, and the metal fitting out, let alone the wonderful corpus of the clippers hull.... Wunderbar !!

Keithbrad80 Posted December 21, 2020 #71 Posted December 21, 2020 I can’t believe I just found this log... your work is incredible, maybe the best I have ever seen, and your work station is one the most professional work places I have seen for model ships. your work is truly an inspiration for someone like me who hopes to scratch build a clipper one day. I don’t have words for some of the things you have created like the windlass and pump. I want to say your work is unreal but that’s the exact opposite! It’s also crazy to think things like your two incredible boats will be secondary details compared to the final product! Bravo!

Wintergreen Posted January 7, 2021 #78 Posted January 7, 2021 Truly exceptional workmanship and an astonishing model. I think what we are witnessing here is the true difference between The Master and The Apprentice in that the Master has failed more times than the apprentice has tried.

I'm keep going until I'm done. Estimated about half a month or so I will update in time. I don't have the third volume, so I'll probably have to cancel the rope part, but I'll try to finish the hull part within the year.

Do you plan to fill the holes with rivets or simulated rivets or just leave it like this since this is all belowdecks? mtaylor 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

Bitao Posted January 17, 2021 Author #90 Posted January 17, 2021 Hi Gunther MT. Because without the rivet holes, it's hard to see the assembled modules. Its function is only to reflect the split structure, water tanks hidden below the deck, do not need too much energy to pursue the above rivets, after all, its cap diameter is only 0.3, the maximum size of the raised plate must not be greater than 0.05-0.08, must be round head. It's a hard job, and I think it's a pyrrhic victory. So I cut a hole in it to show it. Of course, if it's above deck, I'll try to be as specific as possible. mtaylor, druxey, GuntherMT and 1 other 4 Quote
