palmerit Posted April 26 Author #61 Posted April 26 Argh. A mismatch between instructions and parts. The instructions describe and illustrate the ring bolts as double width cotter pins and have you drill a hole to accommodate that width. The actual parts are single width, so my holes are too wide. I could have tried bending over the end but instead I used some filler and superglue.

palmerit Posted April 26 Author #63 Posted April 26 Well, the Midwest Dory is finished. It was a nice easy build with just a few hiccups. Pretty different in a number of ways from the Model Shipways Dory, and not just in scale. robert952, Ronald-V, ccoyle and 4 others 7 Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner (Midwest Products), Gunboat Philadelphia (Model Shipways) In the Queue: Oseberg (Ships of Pavel Nikiten), Zulu 1900 (Vanguard Models), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products)

Different designers is probably the most significant difference. You have done this kit real justice, and the visual appeal of your little fleet is growing! palmerit and robert952 2 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Kenchington Posted April 26 #66 Posted April 26 Different prototypes too. The Model Shipways dory is a model of a longer, hence proportionately narrower and shallower, boat.

Mike Collier Posted yesterday at 11:08 AM #69 Posted yesterday at 11:08 AM How do you like the Ultimation sander? robert952 1
palmerit Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM Author #70 Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM Their sander and their chopper both work great. I use them a lot. The sander makes things quicker and it’s nice to be able to pull it out whenever I need it (as opposed to an electric one that I’d need to go to the cellar to use). It also keeps edges square while sanding where sanding by hand would round the sides of a piece - especially useful when trying to sand char off the edges. I often have the adjustable square removed to give more room to sand larger pieces. Clamping it down to lets you sand quickly. But I often use it for small work without clamping. robert952 1 Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner (Midwest Products), Gunboat Philadelphia (Model Shipways) In the Queue: Oseberg (Ships of Pavel Nikiten), Zulu 1900 (Vanguard Models), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products)
