Landlubber Mike Posted September 23, 2016 Author #511 Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks guys! Don - the kit has really nice looking plates. Much better than the copper foil tape that came with my MS Charles Morgan. I don't know if the plates are self adhesive, or you need to use glue for them. Judging by BE's response, it sounds like I will need to use glue to fix them BE - hmm, that gives me something to think about. Thanks for passing that along. Martin - no finish on the redheart just yet. From what I've been reading, any finish just delays the inevitable so no rush to do so I don't think. mtaylor and Martin W 2 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

riverboat Posted September 23, 2016 #512 Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Mike... your build is looking really nice.I like the painting with wood that you are doing... you have certainly come a long way with this ship building hobby.... wish I could be more help to you in regards to the building techniques required for the builds you are doing, but I'm afraid they are more complex than what I'm used to, but I'll pop in now and then and enjoy your talent and push that "like" button Frank Martin W, mtaylor and Landlubber Mike 3 Quote completed build: Delta River Co.

Landlubber Mike Posted September 23, 2016 Author #513 Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks Frank, really appreciate the kind words. I'm sorta bumbling along and driving myself crazy at times, but I really am having fun playing with wood and power tools (though, it's probably all fun until someone loses a finger!). One of these days I want to go for the "Frank weathered special" on a model riverboat, Martin W and mtaylor 3 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.
