Oh MAN!

Thanks for all the visits, and "likes" guys.... good to see I still have great friends to share my love of this very kool art we call "modeling". You are all just great.

 

So I get to begin tomorrow morning by creating a pot load of heart shaped deadeyes, before I can begin fitting any of her shrouds.

Early start this morning, began creating 30 heart shaped deadeyes for the lower shrouds, and 24 for the upper shrouds (smaller).

Needing a break from that arduous task, decided to begin working on the ships boat for both Mayflowers.

 

Any guesses as to what those little boats are going to look like?

the ship's boats will be the perfect break from all the tedious stuff.   they won't look like that one though.......a bit more..rustic.  of course,  some might think your stalling  :D  :D   do you plan to use the plug method?

 

as I say when faced with repetitious steps.......thanks be to the sub assemblies and mini builds that starve the boredom!

Fun in the shop this morning Popeye.  Both boats built, and ready to mount. 

And.... after giving it some thought, decided to use my "Lifeboat for Warriors" design on both, regardless of the technical issue. 

The boat going on the larger ship is the actual original prototype I built to launch the project.  It now has a pretty special permanent place, rather than eventually getting lost in my boneyard. 

 

Pics soon.

Finally got both lifeboats lashed down on the grating mounts.

Back to creating a few more deadeyes so I can get one step closer to tying a boatload of clove hitches.

Wow, that's a whole bunch of "juffers" Dave  :rolleyes:   Hmmm, juffers?  What's them?  Well Dave, in the Netherlands deadeyes are called juffers.  A juffer is a yungish female.  Don't they look like a head with two eyes and a pouting mouth????  So, now you have learned a Dutch nautical term  ;)

 

Yep, making these small parts take a lot of time and many folks won't have the patience for it.  But to us model nuts it's about creating something functional out of a piece of wood or metal.

They are looking great my friend.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.
