Hi Denis,

Your rigging looks magnificent!  Your SoS is a genuine work of art!

Belated Happy Birthday Nick!

Both the toolbox and trays look VERY handy and I am sure you will put them to great use!

You really are a Master Builder Danny and this is just another example of it.  And such an inspiration!

Hello Denis,

I have been staring at your latest pics in absolute awe.  To see the whole ship in the one photograph and how good each part is directly next each other really brings it all into perspective.  Just perfect!

I honestly can't think of the right words to say how good it looks.  Would you settle for a *gasp*?

Hi Eamonn!

Well it was worth the wait to see some more photos.  Your Ballahoo just looks so good and your work is exceptional!!

Perhaps you could suggest to your friend that you do a VERY thorough test of his camera for a couple of months or so .....  

Have not gotten a huge amount done - my very special grandson has been here for the summer, so have been spending most spare time doing stuff with the boys.  Between whale watching, Independence Day, the British Invasion and visits to other nations (Campobello Island, Canada), along with cleaning up from our hurricane, not a lot of time in the build yard.  I have, though, made a small bit of progress.

Thank you for the update on your log Wayne, but it sure looks like you having a great Summer.  Enjoy every minute!

Wow Denis!

I thought the furled sails looked perfect in your previous pictures, but to see them fitted just takes it to a whole new level!!

The only apology you need to make over your photos is that there isn't more of them haha.  Your Sovereign of the Seas just looks so good!

Thank you very much for the tutorial!

The clear pictures and matching explanations make it so easy to follow and the results are just perfect.  Thank you again!

I am glad to read your hand is better Jesse and look forward to seeing the results from you using it!

Wow, those pictures sure show the benefits of "real" thread !!!    Brb, off to find my credit card ..

Hello Mauro!

Is there room for another to follow along?  A little while ago I read a review on this kit and have been interested in it ever since and can't wait to see what you do with it!

I like the idea of the wood moulding for reinforcements too.  That is very clever!

That looks great Moo!  Good luck with your sanding!

They really do look incredible Denis!  The colours, the way they fold, the ropes, just perfect!

I can't wait to see them on your Sovereign of the Seas!  Well I can wait, just not too patiently 

Just amazing as always Karl!

Big Congratulations to Princess!

Hi there Richard,

I have only just found your log but wow!  This is your first wooden ship? Your Syren really does look terrific and inspires me to try harder with my own ships.  I look forward to watching your work from here

Hello Waitoa!

I found your log !   I am so glad you started the log and I will be following along every step of the way!

I had the very same problems with my lower deck, however mine is also a little twisted which I will need to deal with.  Was yours nice and flat?

Thank you again for going to the trouble of making a log!

Hi Steve,

It is so great to see you back amongst friends and also playing with new toys. That saw does look great.

My heart and prayers go out to you, your wife and all involved as you face these challenges together. Best wishes Steve.

Gasp!  I can't help with your questions sorry Mike but I can add my congratulations. Your Bounty is looking fantastic!

I can't pick the joins no matter how hard I look!

Great work as always Danny 

I love the new Avatar!

Looking great Nick!

Enjoy your holiday

Hi Nenad,

Your plating really is going great!  When you first described how many plates, and how much work I expected you to take so much longer although it probably feels like it is already.

Thank you also for your posts about your country and what is happening.  As sad as it reads, it really is so interesting and makes it all so real for us on the other side of the planet.  I have to admit that I enjoy opening your log every time I visit Model Ship World.

But I had to laugh as when you wrote ...

But, I am kind of fool who find something interesting even in digging hole in ground ...

I remember annoying my father so much when I was young that he gave me the job of "go out the back and dig HALF a hole".  It kept me busy for hours and every time I got him to inspect it he told me it was no good as it was a complete hole and I had to start again.  Maybe he was really training me to do coppering? 

Massive congratulations on your finished build Keith!!!

i can't wait to see all of the photos when you do get a chance.  I am guessing that this wonderful hobby is like writing, or painting in that when you are finished there is always more things you could do, or things you could re-do and if you did you would never ever finish haha.

I can't wait to see all you do with your Royal William

Good job you mentioned that, Danny.  My first thought was, "Hmmm, they don't look right." 

 

John

Haha me too!  For a moment I thought Danny was human like the rest of us but I should have known better 

So clever!!

Thank you for all of the pictures!
