Always impressive Gennaro.
Jim, I heard that expression before. There is something to it. I never liked drilling with bigger bits (1/8" or larger) in one go into already assembled pieces. So I'll start drilling through rising wood/keel with smaller bits and eventually ream. Frankly, I've never enjoyed ship modeling as much as I do with this build. My wife observed the same thing - no cursing and yelling from the basement!Very good work, my friend! As we say in Russia "in fear of big eyes', It does look like you are fully enjoying the search build process, and I hear you! Keep up the great work, Mon Amie!
Who said it will be easy, and you have to finish soon? Enjoy, even if it requires a couple of years. Isn't it all about the fun?Finally managed to finish the hockey stick. It took six weeks and I am at picture 1 in the monograph. There are 365 pictures. Little calculation reveals that model would be finished in approximately 42 years. Hopefully, things will speed up at some point. Thanks for all the comments and likes.
Thank you Paul, I'm flattered, but I don't think it's a gift. Gifted people achieve much better results in much less time. I just keep redoing pieces over and over again until I'm satisfied.Really wonderful work Gennaro! You have a gift!
This is exactly what is called a learning curve! I cannot remember how many submarines 'solid hulls' I made. But I learned how to shape the hull using bulkhead templates.Thank you Paul, I'm flattered, but I don't think it's a gift. Gifted people achieve much better results in much less time.
