federicoaa Posted June 18, 2014 #31 Posted June 18, 2014 I did not have problems crimping the clamps. I bought the crimping tool they have on the store and works well. Did you solve your problem with the transom? Quote Current building Santisima trinidad cross section - Occre - 1:90 Finished Bounty Boat - OCCRE - 1:24
gjdale Posted June 18, 2014 #32 Posted June 18, 2014 Ah, so I gather that the "Taj Ma Chook" is all completed now! Good to hear you also had a positive experience with Cornwall Model Boats - that certainly reflects my own experience. If the figures aren't the right size for this build, there's always the next one, or the next, or............... Planking seems to be going well. Don't forget that steam can be really useful for bending planks in addition to soaking. Any old steam iron will do - just not the one you are about to press your nice new white shirt with!

Moo Posted July 6, 2014 Author #33 Posted July 6, 2014 A few steelers to go and then sanding/filling begins... Yay! radrick21, gjdale and Bindy 3 Quote Current build: HM Cutter Mermaid 1817Next build: US Brig Syren...maybe
Moo Posted July 6, 2014 Author #34 Posted July 6, 2014 Did you solve your problem with the transom? Not really. Neither the written instructions or the DVD indicate when/how to plank the rear of the transom... will see how we go. Quote Current build: HM Cutter Mermaid 1817Next build: US Brig Syren...maybe

Moo Posted July 6, 2014 Author #36 Posted July 6, 2014 How do the chooks like their new palace? They're still too small... still getting their adult feathers so can't keep warm outside yet. Won't be long though, the Taj ma Chook awaits... gjdale 1 Quote Current build: HM Cutter Mermaid 1817Next build: US Brig Syren...maybe

federicoaa Posted July 13, 2014 #39 Posted July 13, 2014 Good job! At that point my model was a mess XD. I had to use a lot of filer at the transom. Quote Current building Santisima trinidad cross section - Occre - 1:90 Finished Bounty Boat - OCCRE - 1:24
Moo Posted July 13, 2014 Author #40 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Hi. The BIG hammer is a little worrying. Have you got a name.. I don't want to call you a silly Moo if you make a mistake lol. the hammer is the smallest one I have at the minute, was my grandfathers from when he was a mattress maker. It's pretty light, only about 3in wide. As for name, it's Leanne... 'Moo' has no connection to Alf Garnet rather my last name - Cowan... Took some wag at University to finally pin me with a bovine reference!! Edited July 13, 2014 by Moo Quote Current build: HM Cutter Mermaid 1817Next build: US Brig Syren...maybe
Bindy Posted July 14, 2014 #41 Posted July 14, 2014 That looks great Moo! Good luck with your sanding! Quote Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72
