Omega1234 Posted July 10, 2015 #212 Posted July 10, 2015 Hi Dave That's a really smart technique you're using there. A little bit of ingenuity has really paid off, big time, because those planks look really spiffy. Nice job!

SawdustDave Posted July 10, 2015 Author #213 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Thank you Nenad, Mark, and Patrick. I can report that, using the masking tape technique, the starboard side planking is moving along much better. Mostly because every one of the curved bow planks only required a single fitting. Each one has been absolutely perfect. I'm quite sure I'm not the first modeler to use the technique. It's simply the first time I've used it, and thought I would share it for all who have not tried it.

SawdustDave Posted August 14, 2015 Author #239 Posted August 14, 2015 I think I may have really lucked out. A friend in Raleigh who I met at the show in Fayetteville, ran across a partially completed HMS Vic model at a garage sale. Only about 50% completed, no plans, no parts to complete the very old kit. He asked if I might be able to finish the model, since I have built the Vic twice. I visited him last week to take a look.... What I found was what appears to be a 1/64th scale Vic .... Cannot tell who the kit manufacturer was, or how old it is. Determined that, although possible, completing the model would require considerable ripping out of very poorly completed work, and then mostly pure scratch building everything from the deck up. He said "forget it"....Since he only paid $25 for the mess.... No big deal. HOWEVER.... The good news is, there was a box of brass cannons and trucks in perfect condition. I paid him $25 for the cannons and he is very happy. Since I was either going to buy cannons for my SOS, or create them from molds and paint them black, this is going to save me many hours of production time down the road. What luck!
