  1. Ditto and will pray for Janet as the Lord leads. It sucks when your spouse is sick. Hang in there Mark!
  2. Hey Mark she is coming together nicely! I remember this stage when I was working on Constitution. There is light at the end of the tunnel and you’ll get there soon enough.
  3. Hi Carl, yeah my camera is old and not very good I must admit. The chess is good and I volunteer twice a month. The seniors enjoy it and it’s proven to reduce, or eliminate ... Alzheimer’s and dementia which is a bonus for them!
  4. I got the hull painted up. I will weather it eventually to make it look like it's been out to sea on a vicarious voyage. Next is to install portholes amidship. You can see holes per-drilled. Jeff
  5. Good to see your health has improved and you’re working diligently to complete her! Happy New Year Bro!
  6. Hi Michael, Things are really progressing nicely for you and the model is going to be brand new when you’re done. I can’t wait to see it back in the Library from where it came from full of it’s former glory. Just getting over the nasty bug that's been going around as well .... Jeff
  7. Your Man Cave looks good Michael! Nice looking floor, should be easy to clean up after a hard day of modelling. A major downsizing for sure* Merry Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year! Jeff
  8. Insane attention to detail. Outstanding work Jond! Merry Christmas to you and yours and a Happy New year! Jeff
  9. Looking good Bro! Nice to see your work. Merrry Christmas to you and yours and a Happy New year! Jeff
  10. I just caught up to this build. Have been absent from models for quit awhile. Last time I checked in you were still doing deck furniture etc. Insane detail for a R.C. Model Jond! Superb craftmanship to say the least! Two thumbs Up*
  11. Looking good Mate! Love the detail and it’s like a show and tell model. Patrick ...Have you ever thought about taking it to elementary schools to show kids? Jeff
  12. Just catching up and I must say this is a very sweet build indeed! I love the detail you are putting into her. Outstanding ... Jeff
  13. I am sure you're releaved it's done. Without a doubt the figures on deck and in the wheelhouse make her come alive. Once she is mounted in the case she will be a thing of beauty and Mark is right she is deserving of being in a museum rest assured. Congrat's Nils!!!!! Jeff
  14. Life has got in the way of my hobbies since my last post, renovations/painting on the house, washing machine cratered; my eldest son slipped a disc in his back, work is busy, and we finally got my youngest son’s 73 Nova SS on the road. So henceforth no man cave time whatsoever. Today I finally got back into the build and started on all of the yards/spars and built myself a gizmo from an old Phillips shaver to taper the ends on the yards and spars. First two pictures is the work started for the upper cross trees. Next 2 pictures is the gizmo I built from the can motor and Frankenstein power supply. Inside the shaver is a step down transformer from 110 AC to 6 volt D.C. I mounted the transformer in a box and the can motor on a swiveling pedestal. The stone is from a Dremel tool glued to the little blue ring gear. Next picture is start of all of the spar and yard work. Sewing Needles and extremely small diameter wire for the aforementioned. Next picture is the upper cross-tree and the braces I have to model coming off of the tree to keep the standing rigging from fouling with the yards. Last picture is the upper Forecastle area with the port and starboard running lights installed. More to come eventually... Jeff P.S. my youngest son got me back into playing Chess as a pastime as well!
