It really does look amazing.  Your work is exceptional!

What a great start Frank!

That looks great Mayohoo!

The whole aft deck really does look terrific!  Joints, treenails, skylight and deck!

Great work on the gunwales Jesselee!

I wouldn't even thought of the nails damaging the wood as it bent myself so thank you for the lesson!

I hope you didn't get too much sawdust in your tea.  I nice biscuit might be a better choice than soggy sawdust for a snack 

Thanks for looking in Holty and for the compliment !  Have taken a couple of days off from the build due to life getting in the way, but should be back to those pesky Margins shortly..

 

All The Best

 

Eamonn

I hope it is because you are enjoying the life that gets in the way!

Best wishes to you Eamonn

You really are making quick progress!

I can't wait to see (and steal) the method of caulking that works best for you 

And the cut looks perfect!  Great job Jesselee!

I think I might steal this idea too thank you Nick!

(and good luck with your planking )

That looks terrific Captainsteve!

The interior colour has transformed it from "fantastic" to umm, ahhh, "more fantastic"?  And although the red and white checkered ocean does set it off, I think it will still look just as good with a more traditional stand and base ....

From scratch?  Wow, that looks so good!

Welcome back!

 I`ll probably shave house, cut wife instead grass, and build cat from scratch   

Hahahahahaha

Haha I don't know how anyone could be cruel!

I know I am only new at model ship building but for a "before sanding" series of photos I think it looks terrific!  I really was surprised reading about not having enough planks though!

A big congrats on your daughter's Master's Degree!  And a congrats to you on making your very own Ikea desk!

But 2500 to 3000 books ?????????????   How on earth do you find time to build ships, work, look after your beautiful house and shave your cat?

What an exceptional paintjob!

What an interesting project!

And your deck with the pigment looks just perfect too 

And let me be the second!

I really am looking forward to following along and watch (and learn) what little upgrades you do    I do agree with you about folded up plans though!

Hi Jay!

Thank you for a wonderful video tutorial!  Haha you should not be embarrassed at all!

Although I don't have your tools, it really was a learning experience to see them in action thank you.  However, I did learn some really helpful tips from something as simple (but useful) as labeling my drill sizes, to your clamping method with the peg and the board (what a great idea) and how you made the eye bolts was just so clever and easy.

Thank you again!  You really have helped me

That really is looking great Grant! 

And congrats on your new bandsaw too 

What a great start John!

I may not be able to offer much help or advice, but I will be here to cheer you along and hopefully steal some hints and tips from you haha.

Reading you are feeling a bit better is the best news I have had in a long time! 

Happy modelling (and teaching us) Danny!

What a great idea to have Woody to help show real dimensions!

It certainly opened my eyes!

Wow, just wow Nenad,

Your deck looks fantastic now it is complete. 

I hope the next step goes just as well for you, but I also hope your cat doesn't end up getting shaved

You HAVE been busy!

What a clever jig!  Thank you so much for the photos and explanations of how you are making these carriages, as you make it so easy to understand but also to appreciate your skills

Hi again,

I am so happy to be here from the very beginning to watch you build another magnificent ship!   If the box for your Royal Louis was any bigger then you would need a larger desk just to hold it haha.

But on the bright side, at least you don't have too much room to lose things
