augie Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share #1232 Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Larry- the buoys are just a piece of dowel sanded to shape and painted a 'muddy' brown. John- intend to go with new MS Essex, probably fully rigged. The first kits for the admiralty version are just being shipped now and a review has been posted by Jaxboat. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/948-model-expo-essex/page-8 Edited July 20, 2013 by Augie mtaylor and trippwj 2 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augie Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share #1240 Posted July 21, 2013 Robert - Thanks. Looking forward to progress on your Mars (no pressure). Nils- Thank you for your interest. On the anchors, a variety of sizes of casted anchors and stocks are sometimes available through Model Expo. I don't know if that helps you because of your location. I should think you could find a more local supplier in Germany or the UK. I did use the cast anchors but not the stocks as I feel a true wooden stock is more pleasing.

Mirabell61 Posted July 21, 2013 Share #1241 Posted July 21, 2013 Augie thanks for your Swift reply. I share Your remarks for using wooden stocks, that also was the reason for my question when sighting the Detail. The assembly of the anchors in my own build are still many days ahead but you know yourself that the modellist allways has sences Aware for detecting things that could be of use in some time ahead.

Thought I'd try a little deconstruction today. Did you know that if you knock off a bumpkin the foremast main yard backstays go 'boing' which somehow causes the marble ashtray to roll out into the garage which scares the neighbors dog........long story.

mtaylor Posted July 21, 2013 Share #1247 Posted July 21, 2013 Augie, I think the closer the end gets, the more "distractions" we find. Similar to an old friend who's moving away in that we try to delay the inevitable. Anyway, go fishin' but try not to hook a moose. I've heard those are really tough to land. A rolling marble ashtray?

It could depend by ... how long that time is. :-) I agree with you, but (speaking about modelling and not other stuff....) if models are at different building steps, it's possible to have been buiding more than one.

popeye the sailor Posted July 22, 2013 Share #1256 Posted July 22, 2013 who........ME? yea, I know it looks strange to have multiple builds going on........but it just happens to me as I'm working on one build, I'm constantly thinking of other applications of what I'm doing and where it can be applied. I can only work on one at any given time, but when I gather enough information, I switch over to the build in question. I have had a great 'pull' to bring out the trawler lately, but I've been holding off, because I really want to get the Goth moving again. my goal with her is to get the fore mast in place, so I can begin doing the shrouds and bow better squared away. I can bide my time with the others.......but sooner or later, the pull will get to be too great........and then I'm off on another wild tangent untill that happens though....I'm happy just working on the Goth.......and of course, finishing the planking on the Half Moon. hmmmmmm.....modeling Gigolo.........kinda funny to think about it...... augie 1 I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Foremast Posted July 22, 2013 Share #1259 Posted July 22, 2013 Hi, Floyd ... I prefer thinking to myself as a "multi-tasking modeller". The thought to have forsaken the building of my beloved "Berlin" for a "Cog" (in Italian, Cog is "Cocca" ... a noun translatable in English, more or less as "Darling" or "Honey") sounds like a betrayal.

augie Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share #1260 Posted July 22, 2013 Popeye hit it on the head and has coined a new phrase ---- MODELING GIGOLO. Problem is, we have many female shipwrights. Are they gigola or gigoletts. I'll go with gigoletts as I heard that word once in 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' (bet you don't remember THAT one). OK, gotta go sleep off a tough day of fishin'.
