Muzzlehead Posted March 4, 2014 Author #32 Posted March 4, 2014 Fear & Loathing with lens distortion.I went down the entire lower hull with my contour gauge, and found a few deviations and corrected them. The majority of my prior hull pics were the result of lens distortion off my camera phone. I re-shot the hull with my 35mm camera and added the phone shots for comparison. There is still some slight distortion with the 35mm but nothing compared to phone! Next up is building the bulwark, then scuppers and gun ports, then stem/keel/stern post/ solepiece, and then secondary planking.Though I am considering moving the carving of the scuppers & gun ports after secondary planking... I will contemplate that as I build the bulwark Current Build: Constructo Enterprise

Sometimes I make sure I have at least 100mm on the camera, when up close there us far less distortion then with a wider lens. It also helps that my 100mm is also a 1:1 macro. But any tele will give you far less if any distortion than a wider lens. Sam Muzzlehead 1 Current Build Constructo Enterprise
Muzzlehead Posted March 4, 2014 Author #34 Posted March 4, 2014 I need to sneak a macro lens purchase past my Obersturmführer..... for now I will have to make do with my stock 50- 35mm lens . Problem with my 35mm camera is it does not wirelessly transfer pics.Overall I am lazy, I prefer shooting the pic and uploading it as opposed to shooting then connecting to my pc with a wire and uploading from there. I will discipline myself and no longer shoot pics of my WIP off my phone. Current Build: Constructo Enterprise

I just keep a reader close by and download as soon as I finish. I *think* both cannon and Nikon offer modules that will transfer wirelessly. I don't know the transfer rate though.

Muzzlehead Posted March 12, 2014 Author #36 Posted March 12, 2014 Here is a quick camera phone shot (disregard all the distortion )That is the clamping of the last plank on the upper hull. Next I start cutting gun ports, then I apply the veneer planking.Need a clamp? Current Build: Constructo Enterprise
src Posted March 12, 2014 #37 Posted March 12, 2014 Looks good. Thats a clamp or to for sure. Sam Current Build Constructo Enterprise
