Flying Cloud 1851 by hof00 - Mamoli - 1/96 - American clipper


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Small update:

 

  • Second Planking complete (Perhaps a "Tickle" here and there)
  • Rudder Blank constructed

So, the more I get into this model, the more I come to realize that it's more of a scratch build than a kit. I'm o.k. with this.

There is "Sod" all in the way of materials, (As I have bemoaned about many times before), I had to have a damn good search for 0.5 X 3.0 MM Planking Material below the turn of the Bilges....

I milled my own 4.0 X 4.0mm wood for the Rudder laminations and other stock milled for Bitts, Etc.

 

I am unsure what I will approach next, but I have plenty to do.... 🙂

 

Onward, I guess.

 

Cheers.... HOF.

Well, it's clear that the early issues you had with the keel fit are now a distant memory.  Scratch building, even on kits, just seems to be part of the ship modeling game.  Keep up the beautiful work.
