  1. Nenad, good luck with quitting smoking. I have 77 day using an EVOD e-cig. Rich from Baltimore
  2. Thanks Richard. They are off a little, but I plan on decking over everything so I'm leaving it alone. I really only went that far to learn new techniques since I am brand new to all of this.
  3. Hi all, I'm finally back. My mother just retired and is moving to upstate New York, so I have been helping her get packed up. Here are the latest pictures, please note that I took some liberties with my build. Since all of this work will be covered up (and I made a few newbie mistakes ) I decided to practice different joints and cuts with the deck beams and carlins. I would also like to throw out an awesome job to the other Willie Bennett builders that I have been following, especially Adam, Richard and Gerty. I would have been so lost without your build logs to refer to. Maybe I'm more visual, but once I was able to see your builds, it all fell into place. So without further adieu, here are the pictures.
  4. I did not get a chance to load the pictures last night so here it goes. I'm still waiting on missing parts so the build will be even slower, however I may begin some of the other areas that don't depend upon the missing parts. However, I will need to do a little more research before I feel comfortable building out of sequence since this is my first build. Have a great day everyone,
  5. Thanks Gerty, I'm going to try to get new pictures up tonight. I will need to slow down a little as I am waiting on missing parts from Model Shipworld..
  6. OK, more pictures. The deck is planked, just the chunks to go in. The chunks are in and 2 coats of primmer are on. I left teh sanding a little rough on purpose. I have seen many working skipjacks on the eastern shore and none of them look brand new, They are beat up just right.
  7. Hi all, I was finally able to get back to the model and I have more pictures. Getthing the sides tied together and planking the deck. More pictures soon, my wife is the photographer so I am still figuring the camera out.
  8. Adam, I am so glad that you are building this one. I am working on the same one and it is my first kit, so when I get a little tennative, I can see what you did and I don't feel so lost. Looks great by the way.
  9. I'm glad to hear that there is a change going on. I emailed a parts request for missing parts and have not heard anything back yet. I picked them because of I'm working on my first ship and I heard they have the best customer service. I fully understand bring a new employee up to speed, so I will wait my turn to hear back.
