rwiederrich Posted April 10, 2017 Share #123 Posted April 10, 2017 Bruce..you've been greatly missed. Glad your medical report is a happy one.....God bless. You have produced a model of the lightning that is unsurpassed. A tribute to the genius of Donald McKay.

von stetina Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share #124 Posted April 10, 2017 Thank you everyone, I wish my photography was better. When finished I'll hang a neutral gray something behind it and do a better job of it. My last bit of rigging that I'm putting in is a real problem to do. Apparently the heart problem made me stupid too as I completely skipped the harbor stow of sheets connected to the above clew lines as described in the Underhill book. Home from the hospital I got into the model room to look at my work and immediately saw what I'd done. I looked at the several feet of fine chain left aside for doing the lower sheets and about freaked. Reaching in in there around the main mast was tough. Things aren't as nice as I'd like. I'd also left out most of the staysail rigging. I spent a lot of time repairing damage done getting into the already there rigging. I inadvertently cut braces with my safety razor blade on a stick tool, etc. etc. I'm super anxious to start a new model. I might even re-do Lightning. I'm looking at either Red Jacket, or the 4 mast barque Parma too. Bruce Rudolf and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpwilk Posted May 5, 2017 Share #127 Posted May 5, 2017 If you want the ensign to hang more realistically, soak it in water until pliable, fold it into the position you want then put some rubber bands etc round it to hold the shape. once dry, the shape will be maintained. happy modelling, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My very reason as well... I am captivated...and Bruce's Lightning is among the best representations I have the pleasure of enjoying.
