popeye the sailor Posted December 24, 2015 Share #1261 Posted December 24, 2015 I get a lot of that clear cello included in kits.........but I've also hoarded clear cello packaging that some products are packaged in. it comes in different thicknesses........mostly flat, but if your looking for a particular shape, you might find it easily as well. some of it doesn't cloud when using CA or acetone based adhesives...best to do a test before hand though. wonderful progress Michael........I hope Judy is home for the Holidays. glad to hear she is feeling better Merry Christmas, my friend....the best for you two this season! mtaylor, Dimitris71, dgbot and 2 others 5 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Piet Posted December 25, 2015 Share #1262 Posted December 25, 2015 So good to hear that Judi is on the mend and hopefully home for the holidays. Have a great Christmas! Several good ideas about the window glass issue, I'm sure you'll find the right one. The CD cases sound rather promising though.

mtaylor Posted January 4, 2016 Share #1268 Posted January 4, 2016 The best I can do is links. The A/C guys use it to glue their clear plastic canopies to the airplanes. It won't craze or fog the plastic. http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-few-words-in-praise-of-canopy-glue.html http://www.supergluecorp.com/?q=zap/zap-glues/formula-560-canopy-glue The catch is, I don't know if it's water proof.

Engelmann Posted January 4, 2016 Share #1271 Posted January 4, 2016 Hi I have used canopy glue in a lot of my RC aircraft models. I never had any canopies that came off as a result of glue failure. I'm not sure if it is waterproof as I never sailed any of them I also used it to glue any and all clear plastic parts in the 1:24 car models that I built, never had any issues there either Regards Deon mtaylor, michael mott and Piet 3 Quote In the Shipyard HM Cutter Cheerful - POB scratch built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael mott Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share #1276 Posted January 5, 2016 Hi Mark Regarding the watercolours I did them It is a compilation of a series of sketches dome during a trip to Marble Canyon in the Canadian Rockies here is a link to an art show where I exhibited them and here is a couple of detail pics sorry about the colour it is still dark and the lighting was not great. I paint and do the odd odd art in my spare time. I have a watercolour show coming up in April in Edmonton Now back to the cutter. Patrick and Druxey thanks, Sometimes I let things sit for what often feels far too long,I suppose because in the back of my mind there is something that is just not quite right about it,( this is especially true when I am following my own design and not making a copy of something already built.) and then all of a sudden it seems I have the answer and it really doesn't matter about the previous effort it was just a step on the journey anyway. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. dvm27, tadheus, Piet and 19 others 22 Quote Current builds Bristol Pilot Cutter 1:8; Skipjack 19 foot Launch 1:8; Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 1:8 Other projects Pilot Cutter 1:500 ; Maria, 1:2 Now just a memory Future model Gill Smith Catboat Pauline 1:8 Finished projects A Bassett Lowke steamship Albertic 1:100 Anything you can imagine is possible, when you put your mind to it.

michael mott Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share #1281 Posted April 29, 2016 I just finished a project to get an art show open my poster.pdf On the way home dropped into the fabric store looking for the right fabric and ended up in the wedding fabrics section and found a cloth that looked good but I'm not 100% on it yet mostly I want to do some experiments on the seams and eyelets or grommets. First I used some rubber cement to glue the tabling Then trimmed the edge the rubber cement stopped the material from fraying. Then folded the tabling, I will also do one with the added tabling this will keep the cloth weave aligned. The grommets are a little large these being 3/16 diameter which scale out to 1 1/2 inch, I will locate some smaller ones I know that smaller ones are made. I might end up making the ones I need. These grommets were for a canvas cover on a 7/8ths scale model and worked well so I will have a go at making some with the backing ring, one of the issues with the tiny commercial grommets is that they do not have a backing ring. neither do the ones I made, however for the sail to function well I want to ensure that the grommets are well seated through the layers of the tabling. By making my own I can also set up any diameter that I need. the eyelets for traditional and cruising sailboats under 45 feet being size 3 or 1/2 inch diameter and for boats over 45 feet being size 4 or 5 5/8 to 3/4 diameter. these diameters are listed in the "Sailmaker's Apprentice" by Emiliano Marino ISBN 0-07-137642-9. summer's coming and I do want to get the cutter sailing before summer is over.

michael mott Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share #1283 Posted April 29, 2016 Hi Denis, the fabric in the bottom pics is a different one from the top pics I am trying to remember what the small canvas was actually made of i think it was unbleached linen or muslin. The wedding fabric is some sort of Polyester, when I am looking at the various fabrics I do a blow test through it, they must think I'm nuts at the fabric store. Thanks for the likes.

michael mott Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share #1287 Posted April 30, 2016 good morning Druxey, Have you thought of using acrylic matt medium for the purpose? No I have not, My thinking was along the lines of the sewing glues that are used to hold seams together before sewing. The stuff I used on the full size sails smelled like copydex basically a latex liquid rubber type glue. I wanted to first see how the eyelets would work. Now I know. next is looking at different ways of accomplishing the tabling and panel seams. the sails will be sewn as well. Thanks for all the support regarding the show, and for the likes. Off to help with putting in the docks today.
