Just a follow up on my Cutty Sark project. I Have the 1:78 Sergal 1980's wood model. I have Been working on this for a while, assembling and planking the Hull. I got the hull sanded and painted. But when it came to mark the copper plating line, I took a loooong break from it as I was afraid I didn't have the skills then. (that was 18 years ago).
Now I'm back at it. I designed a jig to cut the line to mark the top of the copper plating line. I then Taped off the upper part of the hull right down to the line I scribed. I then painted the lower part a copper color. You see, I have seen other models that have been plated but the plates are next to impossible to get them perfectly in place without tiny gaps. These gaps I saw had shown with the black paint showing through where the plating was not as close as it could have been. Hence, I painted the under side copper so any gaps would be invisible. I'm now at that point where I need to glue on the hundreds of plates to the hull.
I can't believe all the people on this board, you make be sick. LOL. All I have is collecting coins and collecting weight on my body. I can't do anything. I can not believe the skills all of you have. You should be proud of what you can do and accomplish. WOW I am impressed. Did not know this forum had so many talented people

I might want to provide an update two years later, mostly the same, but I am planning on graduating this November with a degree in Health Informatics/Information Management.
Okay, I write faith-based screenplays. The latest production is called Strange Friends and was filmed in Tucson, AZ. I believe it is still streaming for free on tubi.
Here's the trailer if you're interested (if you stop the clip at :39, you can see me leaning against a pole).
I don't have any pics right now, but I'm building a Carerra 1:32 digital slot car racetrack set for my grandkids. Spent most of the winter assembling numerous buildings and scenery. When done it's going to take an area in my Sons basement of about 24 x 8 feet. 6 people (plus a computer run pace car) will be able to race at the same time on a length of about 32 feet of track from start to finish. Very realistic. You have to pit for fuel even - cars will even speed up as fuel runs low... You can set up each of the cars for top speed and braking to your preference. Each driver has their own module that show speed and fuel levels. Has a digital tower that shows laps completed ad standings. These sets have come a long way over the years. and so have the prices!
Dearborn I couldn't do with out my smoker. I've read a lot of books but I still need time. I love throwing briskets and pork loins on but the price I am paying for brisket today is insane. Briskets way back used to be a cheap piece of meat. I have also smoked a lot of jerky. That was easy to do when I worked at a meat shop because I would buy a nice piece of meat and put it on the slicer and take the meat home to smoke. Man those were the days.
