skipper1947 Posted September 15, 2015 #133 Posted September 15, 2015 Sorry for the delayed reply Bob. I have a build log in the Lauck Street Shipyard General Forums, though calling it a build log may be a bit pretentious. It is more like "adventures of a ship modelling patzer".

BRiddoch Posted September 29, 2015 Author #138 Posted September 29, 2015 Working on the mast and additional hull details. The mast is comprised of over a dozen parts and is a nice little kit in itself. I finally got to install some of the copper etching also. Clare, what kind of glue did you use to install the copper pieces? Bob R.

catopower Posted September 29, 2015 #139 Posted September 29, 2015 Nice work Bob! That mast looks great on the model. I really like how they included the sheaves at the top end of the mast. That was a fun sub-project, that and the bitts that are located inside the cabin. For the copper pieces, I used a contact cement, though it's not the stuff I have on the shelf now. I'm thinking that I had some Duco contact cement, but I don't see it online anymore. Or maybe I'm just losing my marbles... I have Dap contact cement on-hand, but it clearly states that it's not for use on metals containing copper. Sorry, that wasn't much help. I'm going to look for some other contact cement for the Yakatabune model as I'm getting to that point on the model too. Duco still makes some stuff that sounds like contact cement, but it comes in small tubes instead of a bottle. I'll probably give that a try myself. Hey, just curious, are you planning to use the kit provided sail, as-is? I did, but kind of wish that I had sewn it. Might be kind of small for that though. The pre-printed markings actually look unusually good. It even fooled a couple ship modeling buddies who thought I'd sewn them.

BRiddoch Posted September 30, 2015 Author #140 Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks Clare. I will play around with a few different glues. I used CA Zap a Gap on the few copper pieces I installed.

catopower Posted October 29, 2015 #144 Posted October 29, 2015 Bob, your Higaki Kaisen is looking great. Sorry you didn't make it to the conference with your model. I was hoping to meet you. As it was, this year's conference was sort of the opening of Japanese traditional boat models. Speaker Douglas Brooks gave a talk that was extremely well received and he was very happy about how well the conference went for him. I think he sold almost all the books he brought. There were two models he brought that were built by his teacher in Japan, so there was some Japanese boat models there. Any thoughts of making it to next year's conference in San Diego? Regardless, I'm enjoying watching your progress on the model and getting some inspiration from your work!

BRiddoch Posted November 5, 2015 Author #145 Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks Clare. I had every intention of driving down to Mystic on Friday specifically to attend Douglas' talk. However, I could not justify the cost. I wish they would allow a breakdown in cost of the speakers. Anyway, still plugging along. I relashed the mast and have started on the spar. Bob R.
