Devildog36 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share #61 Posted November 9, 2020 So only a final sanding then paint but I decided to do some decking first. I am not bending the boards well when it’s on the flat side I cut the top rail every few cm to work and will sand smooth Kathy Teel and Keith Black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted November 9, 2020 Share #62 Posted November 9, 2020 With curves such as the taffrail, It often works better to cut the curve from a wider piece og wood. John Devildog36, Keith Black and Keithbrad80 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John With my next model I plan to purchase a few new tools, like a jigsaw and table saw. But I won’t be able to get Admiral buyin until I show I can finish one.

Devildog36 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share #70 Posted February 4, 2021 Had to take a break around the holidays. Father in law is 81 years old and has Parkinsons. He went into the hospital with Bladder stones and ended up having an aneurysm of the kidney and then getting pneumonia. Between medical problems myself and his I've had no time for myself. Oh yeah there's work in there too. ugh. Can't wait till retirement. Keithbrad80 and Keith Black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted February 5, 2021 Share #71 Posted February 5, 2021 I pray your father in law gets well soon and that your health returns to normal. Get well, we'll patiently wait for project updates.

Will The Wanderer Posted December 19, 2021 Share #74 Posted December 19, 2021 On 10/30/2020 at 1:58 AM, popeye the sailor said: pok'in my head in here looks really good! yea......I wouldn't recommend this kit as a 'first build', but then again, when I started, I didn't pick the easiest model to start out with either. you did something rather neat with the copper plating......just paint below the waterline copper, and dry brush it with flat medium green...downward strokes to the keel. the kit does have it's shortcomings......the railings are the worst. if your following my log, feel free to copy my method. there are links there too....one will take you to a museum that has some really nice pictures of the rigging. your able to zoom in and rotate the pictures, so you can see different angles. the rigging is similar to most clipper ships that you'll find here, but pay a mind to the Cutty.......at one time she had barque rigging. the belaying pins were another aspect I replaced...you'll read it in my log as well. one thing you will learn with this kit is scratch building.........a very good bit of experience. I learned it early on, but then......I didn't see it that way......I thought I was just being creative I got a lot of my stuff from Cornwall Model Boats - Static display and radio control model boat kits including period wooden model ships.Model Ship fittings, Caldercraft Boats there is a lack of life boats with this kit too........you can find them here.......just bear in mind the scale of the model, and you will do fine I don't know of too many folks who have finished this kit. I hope to get back to mine. keep up the good work........and don't worry about how it looks now. it will all come together when you finally get some paint on her look the best when finished.......just think of it as riding on a train........miles of track and many curves along the way. mind if I follow along? Hi, been reading through a few threads today on boat building/tips/what to do/what not to do etc…. All points seem valid but is also subjective to the individual?! I’ve recently got into boat building, I mean very recently - and all the posts I’ve read through I’ve seen your name a few times providing sage advice, any chance I could pick your brain? I recently purchased the Sergal Thermopylae as my introduction into boat building, I recognise it’s probably not ideal for a first timer….but I’m patient, persistent and keen to learn…. So was hoping I could shoot a few questions your way! apologies to post owner, didn’t mean to sneak in to ask someone else a question. Thanks in advance, Will Keith Black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
