KirbysLunchBox Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share #123 Posted November 22, 2021 I truly appreciate you guys watching in on my build and the likes! I have barely scratched the surface on this thing and I will need your help to get it done right! Dave_E 1 Quote ~Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbysLunchBox Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share #124 Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) After several attempts to mix a color I liked, I think I can finally saw I am ready to start the second planking! The inner bulwarks and waterway are painted. Time to start making some sawdust again.

Dave_E Posted February 9, 2022 Share #125 Posted February 9, 2022 Outstanding! We are actually at just about the same place on our builds. I started my second planking today. I posted a picture of mine on my build log a couple days ago, looks just like yours. 😄 👍 Quote Dave Current builds: Rattlesnake Completed builds: Lady Nelson On the shelf: NRG Half Hull Project, Various metal, plastic and paper models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbysLunchBox Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share #126 Posted February 9, 2022 For now. I have been at this for over a year. At my current progress rate you will be half way through your next build before I finish this one! Snug Harbor Johnny 1 Quote ~Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted February 9, 2022 Share #127 Posted February 9, 2022 Hello Kirby, I recently came across the pirate ship bed you built for your son and it was stunningly well done. I have no doubt you'll do a great job on this model too. I wish I had put a waterway and spirketting on my Fly... maybe it's not too late... Cheers, starlight Dave_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just retired and trying to find my way in the world. 😂 I might have way more time than some to build. Whatever progress you make will be done out of joy and relaxation I’m sure and I’ll be watching. The bed pirate ship is crazy cool! 👍 Edited February 9, 2022 by Dave_E Quote Dave Current builds: Rattlesnake Completed builds: Lady Nelson On the shelf: NRG Half Hull Project, Various metal, plastic and paper models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to finish up the log on the pirate ship bed! That was a really fun project for sure. I know I didn’t need to go the extra details on this build, but I just couldn’t help myself.

Dave_E Posted February 25, 2022 Share #131 Posted February 25, 2022 On 1/24/2021 at 5:16 PM, KirbysLunchBox said: I knocked out the pedestals today. Not sure what drill size I used. Had some nails that were thinner than the keel and long enough to go about an inch into it and the pedestal. I used a hand drill to make the holes in the keel. The pedestals have a big hole in them. As wide as the keel. I used some scrap balsa and a stripping tool to make some square stock to wedge into the holes and then drilled them out to match the holes in the keel. In the end I have a set of pedestals with spikes in them. Still haven’t figured how I will attach the pedestals to the base. Figure some big screws or something. Should be clear to finish the first planking now at least! Hi Kirby, When you were fitting the pedestal mounts, how loose were they on the keel? Are you going to rely on the nails going into the baseboard for the stability of the model?

KirbysLunchBox Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share #132 Posted February 25, 2022 It is pretty snug, but I am not sure I am going to trust it to them along. I intend to design and 3D print a more beefy pedestal that also sets the keel angle to the drawing. Quote ~Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
