LUCZORAMA SHIPWRECK SCAVENGER HUNT GIVEAWAY. 4 Weeks of Fun • 1 Legendary Prize ((OcCre’s Fram Ship)) • Global Crew Welcome!
**VIEW THREAD HERE**
It has been some time since posting. I finished the framing and planking and was not happy with the results of the planking. After the planking was done I removed the hull from the former/plug, (it came away cleanly) took a deep breath, and broke it apart and dumped the entire thing in the trash. I could have settled, but at this stage of my life, I want to do the best that I can, whatever that might be, and what I had on the first attempt on this model did not come close. Sooooo, I still have the plug and will restart. HOPEFULLY it will be a good result this time.

Respect.
Many thanks Paul!
Also my respect for this decision, Allan.
Regards, Peter
Thanks Peter. Hours spent in a pleasurable pastime are not diminished whether it is 50 or 100 or more. I TRY to see it as an opportunity to have more fun, not a loss of any kind other than a few pieces of wood. Maybe I should have let it rot in our rainy summer and then mount it and label it the HMS Bounty jollyboat, which was rotted through. (Not to be confused with the Bounty launch used by Captain Bligh and his crew when they were set adrift by the mutineers.)
Back to making framing material.

I get it, Allan, 100%! I design custom mechanical equipment and specialized machinery for a living. It's an R&D game where one starts with a simple concept and then begins to experience far more failures than intended successes... until 'finally' reaching the finish line. I oft times cuss like a sailor when things don't go smoothly nor work as designed/predicted, but I love it all just the same!
