Mike Y Posted May 15, 2014 Author #122 Posted May 15, 2014 Anchor rope in the kit is definitely not as gourgeous as on Chuck's prototype. Frankly, it looks very cheap and definitely not like a rope (more like a wire), but since it is the last bit of a model - I gave up, and decided not to bother with ordering a proper one.

Mike Y Posted May 15, 2014 Author #123 Posted May 15, 2014 But now the good part. Quoting Chuck's manual - "That completes the model!!!" I'm still in progress with the display case, but she is completed! Yahooo! Chuck, thanks again for that fun build, that looks simple, but actually forces to learn new techniques and go to the next level of accuracy. Next buid would be a Longboat, since my wife really thinks it looks better with sails, and I want to make a better planking with boxwood Ok, in reality I just want to make a pinnace again, this time avoiding all mistakes I did, but making the same model again is kind of silly, and I really love the look of longboat. Also, longboat build would be much slower - I will not rush things to complete it quicker. Thanks everybody who watched, helped and commented - it is quite fun, much better then just modelling without being able to share!

Mike Y Posted May 17, 2014 Author #132 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks for that wave of comments! Finished the display case. I made it out of plexiglass sheets and L shaped furu wood. Looks so-so, CA is not the best way to glue plexiglass, and frankly I failed to cut accurate glass rectangles with required precision. So next time will buy a manufactured case. It sounds ridiculous, but I have no place to put the model on display. This problem slightly crossed my mind before, but I preferred not to think where to put model before it's finished. So now it is going to the drawer, until I move from rental to my own apartment, where I can easily mount a nice shelf on a wall Next build would be a scratch Oliver Cromwell using Hahn's method, but I just ordered it from Lumberyard a few weeks ago. So will start a Longboat build while waiting. Hope that Oliver Cromwell will arrive in a matter of a month or so, hence Longboat would become a side build - when I will feel bored with cutting big pieces into small pieces to make a big pieces to cut them into small pieces to make a big pieces © mtaylor.
