Korean Turtle Ship

[zak]

it's looking good, but where do you get your ideas from.

Don't ask!

Dragons head cut to rough size - not happy , so will make another one. 
Will try and cover this one with plaster of Paris and glue to enlarge the mouth ( this one looks like a duck ) and also let me carve in the eyes and other bits and bobs.

[zak]

Are you quackers or what?

[MSea]

I will duck that question - yohoho

[Haddock]

Silly wuestion but would you be better off with a nicer piece of wood?
Haddock.
Or even something like Fimo modelling clay.

Or even a shaped inner from plastic/ metal padded out with filler?

First 8 corner reinforcing plates made from paper fitted to the gun ports - only another 62 to do - think I should come up with ideas and then sleep on them before starting and decide if they are worth it 

[MSea]

The other 62 reinforcing plates now fitted. Also the gun barrels and the 12 oars made, next job make the base and fit the ship to it and then add waves.

The scratchbuilding that goes on within the Club is an inspiration. Memo to self 'Must try harder'. Fantastic job Martin.

Thanks Chris - its the only way to keep what is left of my brain working at its normal 19% efficiency - yohoho

[zak]

19%? That high, hard to imagine.

[MSea]

I exaggerate a little well  -- 19% actually

[chriswil42]

A lot of work Martin but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

[MSea]

We will see in the end - but at least its FUN and keeps me away from normal people - yohoho

Base cut and first layer of filler added
