MEDDO Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share #181 Posted June 23, 2014 Windlass is going to take a while. These parts are very small for my giant and clumsy hands.

aliluke Posted June 23, 2014 Share #182 Posted June 23, 2014 Heck Michael! And I was complaining about my little QD skylight. That is amazingly small work.

MEDDO Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share #186 Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks Alistair, I just hope I don't sneeze when I have these all laid out like that. Bob, hands aren't so bad (I can deal) but I am rapidly finding out that the presbyopia is catching up with me Grant after seeing the scale of your pinnace, these parts are gigantic by comparison. Thank you Pete, I am going to curve and then edge the grating today. pete48, gjdale and mtaylor 3 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

Jaxboat Posted June 23, 2014 Share #187 Posted June 23, 2014 Nice job on the windlass. I have built this ship and that was certainly one of the more challenging tasks! Best Jaxboat MEDDO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDDO Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share #188 Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks Jax. I think the design is really nice. I cant think about how hard it would be to carve 8 sides then taper the ends from a single piece of stock. Jaxboat 1 Quote Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

Jaxboat Posted June 24, 2014 Share #189 Posted June 24, 2014 Exactly. Just thinking about the math involved makes my hair hurt Halifax was a real treat to build. Not too easy and achievable for anybody patient enough to follow Bob's practicum. Best Jaxboat MEDDO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDDO Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share #190 Posted June 25, 2014 Jax, When I was getting back into modeling a few weeks ago I was intrigued by this build. I have a variety of ships on the shelf but the instructions here were so good. I agree with the satisfying level of difficulty but "not too much" for a beginner like me.

Jaxboat Posted June 25, 2014 Share #191 Posted June 25, 2014 Surprisingly and inexplicably, Bob Hunt told me, Halifax did not sell too well. The finished model is beautiful and building a plank on frame kit teaches you so much about how these ships were constructed. Look forward to following you further Best Jaxboat MEDDO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDDO Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share #192 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Jax, I am surprised this didn't sell so well. It has been great so far.
