Re: What is your favorite modeling task?
After initially fitting bulkheads etc to the keel, I have to say that fitting out the decks is probably my favourite task. Everything from finishing off the decks and fitting out with stairways, cannon, bitts etc. Its what makes a build come alive.
I do find tying 1000's of rats quite therapeutic though!  Jim

Favorite work on models and worst
My favorite work on models is fabricating deck furniture, deck houses, hatches, companions, ladders. etc What bores me the most is tieing ratlines. I do some for a while then stop. What I hate most is having the model finished not needing more work. The longer the time I can work on it, the better. Most friends ask me when seeing a model "How long did it take?" My answer "NOT long enough !"

Re: What is your favorite modeling task?
Hi Gerold ~~~ I agree with you 100 %. I think that's where the ship comes alive. I love to lay deck planks and see them take on color when the stain is applied. With cabins I like to add my own touches. I don't particularly like the thick cabin doors that come with kits. I'll make my own and with narrow moldings. Work boats are my favorite with all the miscellaneous gear on deck. KUX 87 Krabberkuter by Billing is my next project with trawling nets and tackle..........BRINY..........Bernie[url=http://shipmodeling.net/photopost/data/500/Shrimp_BoatBIMG015.JPG][img]

Re: What is your favorite modeling task?
I like planking the hull and deck work. Something about bending and stretching the wood material to almost a breaking point, to get that special form thats needed. pcmman rex
