    Thanks mayor, thanks for the encouragement and I know exactly which model I will tackle first. The one at the very right for which you can see the stern and the sail barley a gunboats with a peryauger (sp) bow spirit pointing upwardly.

    Interesting tutorial! Which reminds me that when in USN i was assigned Tug Boat duty. The boat captain for the boat I was on did not like tire fenders with rope knotted on and draping down so he had us making road fenders in a similar manner as the bell rope with out the taper and fancy knots.  Thank you for this post, old memories abound!

    I think masters doing card models are exquisite and well done. Question is will card models hold up to the elements that wood provides?

    Back home from the hospital 🏥 but will take me awhile before I get back out in garage to work on models but it's one of my top priorities along with other chores that I left hanging before they removed my lower left leg 🦵 cheers to everyone

    Well life sure gets in the way! I definitely got side tracked for quite sometime and now find myself recuperating from lower left leg amputation, it like it will be a long time before I ever get back to the triton build. Sorry guys, perhaps I can change my name from the learner to "peg leg"

    Hmmm I recently acquired this kit that has been started from a gentleman who recently lost his wife and I would like to finish it up asap. I guess I need to post a build log here and will definately will be following your build Also I note that there is another Prince build on modelshipbuilder but is almost finished, a good build and a good reference.

    Bruce, thanks for the encouragement, I am trying hard, doing all the required Pt exercises and then some. I don't have to stand to build, just have access. Yes I would love to follow along with your Mediator. Can you send me the link? I am using my phone to access the site! It will be awhile before I get to my 
    computers.
