Jorge Diaz O Posted June 28, 2021 Share #2134 Posted June 28, 2021 18 hours ago, michael mott said: Para todos los que están siguiendo esta construcción. No puedo hacer ningún trabajo de modelo por un tiempo, ya que estoy esperando que me realicen una cirugía del túnel carpiano en mi mano derecha. Ha ido empeorando constantemente durante los últimos 6 meses más o menos, y finalmente me di cuenta de que necesitaba que lo revisaran. El informe de neuropatía utilizó palabras como grave e inmediato. Mi médico de cabecera ha enviado cartas a tres cirujanos con la esperanza de que podamos atenderlo más rápidamente. Llevo una muñequera rígida que me ayuda a evitar colarse en el taller de modelos para trabajar, lo que es perjudicial para mi futuro bienestar en mi mano derecha. Me sometí a una cirugía del túnel Carpel en ambas manos hace unos años. Y Rob no me he olvidado de tu pieza del Rayo. saludos Michael Hopefully everything goes very well. It does a great job. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote -HMS Tritón 1/48 1773 en scracht (TERMINADO) -HMS Winchelsea 1/35 1764 full scracht (EN PROYECTO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Farmer Posted August 28, 2022 Share #2135 Posted August 28, 2022 Michael, though late to the party I have just enjoyed catching up on your story. I'm in awe of your skills. I keep the machinery of our farm running but can only dream of your attention to detail. We live on the North Cornwall coast with views across the "ancestral" home of the pilot cutters. Spy, I crewed on the OYC Equinoxe, three times during my teens (1966/67). So sad to hear she is no more, but I question that she was built in 1933 - it was accepted at the time that she was of 1906. Your photos bring back happy memories of a vessel that was so ideally suited to young crews. Enough hard physical work that led to exciting deep water sailing. bruce d, Mirabell61, AJohnson and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael mott Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share #2142 Posted September 12, 2022 Hello to you all who have expressed concern for my health. First of all my surgery went well and my hand is back to normal working with the tools I love most the jewelers saw and my Myford lathe, opposite ends of the model-making spectrum. Judy and I have been keeping a low profile during the last couple of years for all the obvious reasons. My model boat building has taken a back seat at the moment, even though the cutter is not 3 feet away from my bench and the stern is only 9 inches from the end of the lathe bed. As many of you know I am also an avid builder of model railway subjects, currently in the front seat. ( I am working on a four wheel coach of the Great Western Railway built in 1876 in 1/32nd scale and it has presented a great deal of challenges. I am not likely to build any more of them. this one with full working clasp brakes, is enough for me.) Here are a few of pictures of it. the body is .030" styrene sheet with a printable card-stock overlay cemented with MEK to the styrene. The wheels are a composite of steel Castello (16 wedges) and brass all the bolts and pins are turned from brass stock, the axle-boxes and hangers for the springs are currently being redone to better reflect reality, with proper cups and rubber bushings. And the adjustable jig for bending the loops on the ends of the top leaf of the springs. I think I better not push my luck posting pictures of model railway stuff on this Bristol Cutter build log. I am sure that my boat building MOJO will be back sooner rather than later and I will get on with the galley and map chart area. perhaps a sextant lying on the table with some compasses and a parallel rule and pencil.

wefalck Posted September 12, 2022 Share #2144 Posted September 12, 2022 Glad to hear that you are in full swing again !!! Such pre-1880s subjects are rarely seen in railway modelling and there is almost nothing commercial available from that period, I think, regardles of scale/gauge. I am not an active railway modeller, but always thought that something from the 1860 to 1880 period would be nice to create ... mtaylor, druxey, Jack12477 and 2 others 5 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael mott Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share #2152 Posted June 15, 2023 Hello everyone I’m just getting my mojo back in the ship modeling world. I had a heart attack in November 2022 and am now recovered from that. I had a wonderful conversation with David Anscherl earlier this week and he challenged me to do something on the cutter within the next 2 weeks. Yesterday I dug in and am happy to say that I am enjoying the work I am going to continue with the galley area which also includes the chart table on the starboard side The first task was trying to remember just what I was doing, then deciding what was the next step. The galley counter needed to be drilled for the tap and then the sink needed some serious work to clean up the sloppy silver soldering. So a few custom sanding sticks are being used to tidy up the sink. Time for some lunch Michael realworkingsailor, billocrates, dvm27 and 16 others 19 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.
