popeye the sailor Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share #513 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) has anyone ever finished a model, thinking that they could have done more to it? has anyone ever put one aside, knowing that there was something left to do? that is the case here. I have tried to make a decent set of bindings for these skis.....I guess it's not the 'cobbler's life' for me so, I'm going to go with another approach.........make a rack to store them in. I made up the framework for the rack, and did a test fit. after a little sanding, a center divider was put in. this will be sanded some more........with fine tuning to follow Edited December 15, 2017 by popeye the sailor missing pictures SkerryAmp, mtaylor, DSiemens and 1 other 4 Quote 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.

I looked around today for the wainscoting I made for this build, but I couldn't find it. I'll think of something, I'm sure. not sure Daniel.....I put up the sign.......and all I got were these guys.........talk about slim pick'ins......jeeze! just thinking about #9 Sjors...........no.......that's not happening mtaylor, Moonbug and Sjors 3 Quote 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.

popeye the sailor Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share #521 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) last week I did more work on the rack.........I thought it to be a small task, but it's kinda dragged on. I have had a nasty cold........it's now a dull roar, and I feel much better. I had done more sanding and shaping to the rack.....since I could not find the original wainscoting I had made for the build, I just improvised around the base. so it wouldn't get lost against the wall, I gave it a light stain and a coat of lacquer. now it's time for a little bit of hardware. as you can see, the depth of the rack, hides the fact that the skis have no bindings.

popeye the sailor Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share #527 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I finished off the rack........there really wasn't much else to do. in the last picture, I had drilled the holes and installed the eye bolts. I didn't cement them in in case I needed to remove them for any reason. I did have to remove the center one.....a piece of chain was captured in the eyelet. then all three were cemented in place. the skis were then cemented in place and the chains were hung on the outer ones with hooks that I had fashioned from a couple of other eye bolts. the Phylly C was ready to accept the new addition ........and then the rack was cemented in place. nothing to it I feel better already..........this build is hear-by finished. this build turned out to be quite a bit of fun, aside from my getting carried away. I still have the plans......who knows.......I may even come up with yet another variant.........I do have one in mind. but not right just yet.........the admiral would kill me if I did....LOL! thanks to all for the comments and looking in......I hope you enjoyed it!

popeye the sailor Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share #532 Posted January 22, 2014 thank you all.........even though it is a bit of a cop-out, the skis are on the model now I don't have to keep track of them anymore.....YIPPIE!!!!!!! it would have probably looked cool to have them around the deck somewhere, but the rack might have turned out to be an after thought. since I failed to get a good shape for the bindings.......this turned out to be the next best thing. this completes the subject of the build.....and there you have it. riverboat 1 Quote 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.
