Paul Le Wol Posted Saturday at 11:14 PM Author Share #123 Posted Saturday at 11:14 PM Hi Everyone. Thanks to all for your Comments and Likes. They are appreciated very much. The masts have been painted and the cleats attached. They are friction fitted into place and I don’t think that they will need to be glued. Once they were stepped I thought it would be a good time to mount the model on to the base. The base is a piece of 1/4” x 2 1/2” oak that was bought from Home Depot’s “ Hobby Department “. It was painted with Liquitex Basic Ivory Black. The stand offs are 1/16” brass rod covered with 3/32” brass tube cut to the appropriate length and then 1/8” aluminum tube was slid over that to give it a heavier look. I liked the look of the aluminum more than the brass for this boat. Don’t know if it’s a big concern but I did apply NoAlox between the brass and aluminum to prevent any possible reaction. The horse for the main sheet is made from 3/64” steel rod and the stops for the traveller ring are made from #22 ( think) steel wire that has the black coating burned off. I like it because it doesn’t need painting. Now comes the slow process of converting the blocks that I have to internally stropped. Hope to see you soon.

FriedClams Posted 1 hour ago Share #124 Posted 1 hour ago She's looking really sweet, Paul! I like the base - long and thin like that graceful hull and it doesn't pull attention away from the model. Sort of minimalist.
