YQ Bluenose Ted R

[Ted Robinson]

I made some paper mast hoops but they looked so different from the prior wooden ones that I can't use them. I don't have any scrap materials the same thickness left over from the Bluenose kit. I tried both thicker and thinner scraps but wasn't able to keep them from chipping up. I made a bunch of shavings from the materials in the Harvey kit I bought from a scammer on eBay. So far I haven't been successful in making the hoops. I'm putting this mini project to the side to come back to later when my frustration levels subside.
Happy modeling
Ted

I would hope these two pics might help. I cut the strips you see from thick paper, dredged one through the water PVA mix then rolled it around the drill bit. Then carefully slide it off the bit, let it dry then paint them. From there you can sand then to the width you want. I used two different bit sizes.

Hope this helps.

That explains it pretty well
Thank you
