What's your favorite
 (or least favorite  ) part of ship/boat modeling?We all have one or two tasks about ship / boat modeling that we like or don't like to do. While some of us may think a particular job is tedious, others may not. Vote here for your favorite modeling task, and if you want, post a message afterward detailing your choice. You can vote for one or more choices, but you can only vote once. So choose carefully. PS; If you have a task you think should be added to the list, PM the Cap with your suggestion. Don't pay any attention to the percentages in the right hand column of the Poll Results! They're off because in this particular poll you can cast a vote for more than one option. If you want to see who voted for what, click on any of the underlined numbers to the right (next to the percentages column).

Re: What is your favorite modeling task?
I like the planking and hull building phase, because i think this is were the challenges and oppertunities are that distinguish the model from all the other models. If i would place 50 "indentical" models in a room : then every ship modeler, regardless off his skill, will with 100% certainty pick his model by the way the hull is made and how the model is planked.
I'm not fond of rigging, besides makeing yards.

Re: What is your favorite modeling task?
I'm a scratchbuilder so I really enjoy it all but my absolute favorite is masting and rigging...from turning the masts and yards to making the ironwork. John Harding

Re: What is your favorite modeling task?
I like to work the decks, whether it be the cabins, canons, or the planking of the deck. I feel the deck superstructure is the biggest aspect that seperates one ship from the next. Plus, it's just a whole lot of fun.
Cheers.

I like carving 1:160 waterline models out of mahogany planks. I've tried other methods, but find this is fastest and most accurate.
