Big smiley !!!

Again mate, just brilliant. A qiestion though, what are your plans on the side next to the transom? There's a gap which doesn't look finished yet.

Havagooday my friend

Greg,

I had to think about what you were asking.... the quarter galleries go there to hide the ugliness.     We can't just have a doorway from the Great Cabin to the water can we?  Or maybe I can forget the gallery and add a diving board..  hmm.... what would Popeye do???     

[Greg the peg leg sailor]

A diving board sounds great!

[Piet]

Very, VERY nice work Mark.

 

Cheers,

 That would give new meaning to Walking The Plank.

[BANYAN]

Looks really good Mark; good luck with the top-down approach to the collar.

 

cheers

Quite lovely Mark, you've come a long way

[giampieroricci]

Exscuse me, Mark....

 

 

why did you let all that space for pintles rudder?

 

 

 

 

Moreover, the pintles should be within the space, so the rudder remains in the stern straight wire; The rudder seems too far from the stern

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[mobbsie]

I think she looks absolutely splendid Mark.

 

I'm sure with a little perseverance you'll find your answer to the rudder collar, there is a solution out there somewhere. Not too sure going in from the top is the right answer though, unless it's just to get you over the top of the rudder post.

 

Have you tried the domestic front, some bread or pastry dough, chewed chewing gum or something similar, off the wall I know but may work.

 

Good luck mate.

 

Be Good

That's what I had on the plans for cutting the rudder...  HIndsight...it's wrong.  Also, I used the wrong size pintle and cudgeon material. I'm adding this to my "lessons learned".    I take another look and see if I can fix it although without destroying the stern planking, I'm not sure.

G'day Mark

Life is a learning curve. I don't know about you and all our family on this great forum, but I learn something every day. That way we grow stronger and if I dare to say, wiser

"...learning curve".......  you got that right---- usually  one step forward and two back in my case.........LOL

[mtaylor]

Well... I did the self-beating and now that I've calmed myself down, I took a long hard look.  No excuses.  It's not right.  So...  once again.. DE-CONSTRUCTION TIME.    Stay tuned.

[Elijah]

Good luck Mark!

Hi Mark.

 

I really don't know what to say....apart from....Noooooooooo! A lesson learned, is a lesson learned, however; so, I guess as harsh as it sounds, you have to be happy with it.

 

We're all here to support, watch and admire.

 

Cheers and all the best!

Mark,

 

You don't have to do the same as me.

Starting all over again every time !

But I'm happy that I'am not alone in this

You'll be happier with the end product though otherwise you would always 'see' that even if everyone else doesn't. I'm currently remaking rising wood sections around 20 times each piece and no one will even see those.

 

Bet ship modellers would like hair vests as we seem to like self punishment..

[cog]

Life's a bitch, Mark, and it makes modelling from time to time a real unpleasant challenge ... but the rewards when successful can be astronomical ... I am certain you feel relieved after resolving this setback.

 

I wish you lots of strength. You're in my thoughts. If you need someone to beat, just popover

 

Cheers

[mtaylor]

I agree that sometimes we're gluttons for punishment.  And actually I do like knowing when I've messed up as it points out where my skills/attention/etc need improving.   

 

Anyway, destruction went well.  Just holes in the planking to fill.  It seems that nothing really sticks to Wipe-on-Poly and it cleaned up nicely.  I've sanded those areas down to bare wood, made a new cutting template and will be proceeding (and remembering to take photos) on the morrow.  And I'll get the rudder coat on this time.

It seems that "re-do MSW Club" keeps doors wide open this days, Mark

 

Be careful  inside my friend ... find your Dragon, Daenerys Targaryen, it is a house of Undying ("undying" in any mean) ... and keep in mind Daenerys quote " If I look back, I am lost" 

 

   

 

BTW, I gave to visit eye doctor - I can not see any mistake !!!

Well done Mark, the hard part is over - making the decision to re-do!

I can hear Noooooooooo from allover the world.

There is 1 thing I hate: the word "re-do"! Let's call it "enhancement" instead. Its sounds a lot better.

 

Good luck Mark on the enhancement of the rudder!

[mobbsie]

No words of wisdom or profound statements from me Mark, just a whole lot of encouragement mate.

 

Be Good

[popeye the sailor]

it's never any fun Mark      I'm pull'in for ya too

[Canute]

Hang in there, brother. The average Joe won't know you re-did the rudder, but deep in your soul, you'll know, even five years from now.

[mtaylor]

Thanks for the feedback and support.. it means a lot and shows what we have at MSW.

I guess I need to connect the TV and watch Game of Thrones...   I won't look back as I don't want to know what's gaining on me  (Famous baseball player quote).

 

Well done Mark, the hard part is over - making the decision to re-do!

 

The decision was easy Grant.  The finding the materials is/was an issue.  Brass tube and rods the right size,  Some more boxwood...    I've gathered things up and starting to make way.

I quite agree, Ken.  We need to make ourselves happy first.

[Piet]

A brave decision, a bold decision but a wise decision.  Your redo will be perfect, making the model perfect.  Most, if not all of us had to go through a redo or two or more and those who haven't experienced it yet, will.

 

Cheers,

Mark,

 

I am late to your party but request permission to come aboard. I've been through the thread from start to present and it reads like a text book. Thank your for your thorough documentation. I can see many lessons that are going to be valuable to me.

 

Respectfully,

John Maguire
