Batelina by Don Robinson a MarisStella kit

[DonRobinson]

This will my build log of the Batelina a MarisStella kit. She is a small boat used mainly for fishing along the Adriatic coast. She maybe a small kit but is a great one to build and does have it's challenges
Framing completed next up is to plank the frames and bulkheads. Very little sanding required, all the laser cutting was extremely accurate. Excuse the blue tint in some the pictures, those were taken outside under a red umbrella. I'm not sure how that works either, but what was even stranger was the pink elephant that was in my yard right after I finished taking pictures!! :lol:

I'm along for the voyage. I'm curious what the final finish will be?

 

[DonRobinson]

Jump on Mike. Final finish will be wipe on poly, I'm fresh out of red and white paint ;-)

This is a sweet little model at 1:10 scale. I'm in too!

Planking of the bulkheads and frames has been completed using the kit supplied .5 x 5 mm walnut strips

Hello Don can you see your last post's images because I can't.

 

[DonRobinson]

Hope you are enjoying the pictures. Was so easy to load pictures yesterday but for some reason not so easy today.

 

[DonRobinson]

I can drag the files over but it does not give me the option to load them in to the dialogue box

 

[DonRobinson]

I don'y understand what is going on, I have reduced the size of my pictures to 84 kb and it still is not working. The ones I loaded yesterday were much larger, 300 kb, and they worked.
I did not compress yesterday or today just reduced the pixel size, any answers?

 

[zoly99sask]

Check the pixels Don must be around 800

 

[zoly99sask]

Don use your Sos hotline,Im not near a Pc vut I can talk and maybe we figure it out. ;-)

 

[DonRobinson]

By "hotline" do you mean a pm or email or what. I'm not familiar with 'hotline'

 

[zoly99sask]

The hotline is what we used yesterday.

 

[DonRobinson]

hahaha, now I see, Maybe more coffee is what I need . Will use it right away as soon as I refill coffee

 

[mrshanks]

I found some new coffee recently that allows me to triple the length of my modeling sessions. But that would be off topic...... :text-imsorry:

 

[zoly99sask]

Hello Don ,let me know if you are still having problems uploading images.

 

[DonRobinson]

Here are the pictures that the system allowed me to load. I was wanting to show the whole build (70 plus pictures) but I guess this will have to do. Maybe I'll have things figured out by next time. Enjoy
