I've been experimenting again, probably not the first to do this.
Small parts are hard to hold and work with.
But using some balsa wood, tongue depressers and clothes pins,
I've been able to fabricate the two hatch covers (~18mm sq.)
Having consulted with my good friend Keith,
who suggested that the anchor chain would be stowed while sailing (duh)
I've decided to go ahead with the windlass and anchor chain per spec.
Had to get out the small tweezers for the rings on the forward hatch.
Here's the foredeck... no those aren't whiskers.
They're some parts of the standing rigging
that were easier to install now.
Wow - that last picture is beautiful. BTW I couldn't even see any 'whiskers' they're so small!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I think I would need magnifying glasses for those teeny tiny pieces, like the kind Jack Nicholson wore in Bucket List.
