allanyed Posted February 21, 2014 #4 Posted February 21, 2014 Ciao Mauro, Your Lettie Howard is looking very nice. Do not forget to scrape a little of the paint on the bulkheads when you glue on the bulkhead stanchions so the glue gets into the wood. . Are you going to include the foretop mast or leave it off as she is rigged today? Thank you for posting the photos. maurino 1 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

maurino Posted February 21, 2014 Author #5 Posted February 21, 2014 @ David , I hope that my model is satisfactory for me and for those who follow my work ... @ Michael, thank you very much, I hope not to disappoint you! @ Allanyed, I do not know yet how I will do my model, I started from the designs of the "Lettie" but mine will be a model of fantasy, a work in progress ................ To all of you I apologize for my post, I'm using the Google translator is not always fully understand your questions ...........Mauro Quote
maurino Posted February 22, 2014 Author #6 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) I start of covering the hull with copper plates . Using the self adhesive copper tape cut into pieces of 20 mm lenght . To simulate the riveting I press on each plate a file for iron . Mauro Edited February 22, 2014 by maurino tasmanian, piperjoe, Elmer Cornish and 2 others 5 Quote

captainbob Posted February 22, 2014 #9 Posted February 22, 2014 Nice to see someone else building the Lettie it will be interesting to see the differences. I am trying to build her as she was originally built. Looks like yours is as she is now. Am I right? Bob maurino 1 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

maurino Posted February 23, 2014 Author #10 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi Bob , mine is a schooner built from the plans of the "Lettie" but is a fantasy model .

Mirabell61 Posted February 28, 2014 #21 Posted February 28, 2014 Mauro, I see things are moving on the "tape side plating".... I found your solution so nice that I had itching fingers to give it a Trial myself. Here the result made with an old Wood file. Put alu or copper tape (shiny side up) partially on it and rubbed it down and over with a rubber erasor, I must say, very good idea of yours..
