NenadM Posted July 25, 2014 #122 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Sometimes only one Admiral is too much, sometimes yourself is too much for you, but different people like different things ...

rfolsom Posted July 27, 2014 Author #123 Posted July 27, 2014 Ha, ha! Yes, one Admiral is DEFINITELY enough. Keith, Model Airways is simply a a subdivision of Model Expo, as the Niagara is made by Model Shipways, also a subdivision of Model Expo, based in Florida; surely available by mail order. I know Guillows has been around for quite a while, and they make balsa aircraft for static display, or control line or radio control... Not the most accurate or detailed kits (out of the box, anyhow), but alot of fun... Some of their smaller kits are even rubber band powered... I did one when I was 12 or 13. clearway 1 Quote
rfolsom Posted September 16, 2015 Author #124 Posted September 16, 2015 ...Hull planking resumes after a 14-month hiatus (thought it was 16 months, so I feel a tiny bit better) You can see where the port and starboard planking doesn't always match with perfect bilateral symmetry, but I've tried to compensate along the way... jct, GuntherMT, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote
lb0190 Posted September 16, 2015 #125 Posted September 16, 2015 Bob, I glad to see your back ship building again. The planking looks very good!

rfolsom Posted October 4, 2015 Author #126 Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks, Larry Unfortunately I wasn't paying close attention to the stern planking, and I found I was tapering too much at the stern on belt "B". So on the 7th strake of belt B I am having to introduce stealers. This is the first time I've made and used proper stealers (I cheated on the Cutty Sark, as all stealers would have been hidden by the coppering). I made the stealers alongside their planks and shaped them off the ship; hopefully they'll align properly on the ship.... popeye the sailor, NenadM and lb0190 3 Quote
