  1. Thanks Steve, Bruce, Scrubby, James and the likes! Just take your time and remove a plank that’s not fully to your standard or liking. It may take an extra hour, but there will be many years you looking at it… Frank.
  2. Very nice indeed Rusty! It will be hard to accept any other quality, detail and ease of building when building other models from kits in the future... Frank
  3. And no concrete and insulation under the deck planking in your Winnie I assume... LOL.... Frank.
  4. I rather like some color variation, unlike many other builders I know, It gives more variety to the eye, 'on every inch something should happen' ...furthermore, shipyards didn't sort their planks on color I guess, as they were glad to receive the appropriate and enough wood to carry on building I read in one of my many books on English, French and Dutch shipbuilding... Frank.
  5. Beautiful work on the deck Glenn! The bolts will look magnificent too, I'm sure! And dito photographs, wow! Frank.
  6. Beautiful work on a beautiful build and dito carvings Pete! I’m following yours as well now! Frank.
  7. Thanks, Chuck, Edward and scrubbyj427! I'm already on my way with the second band, updates will follow after I finished it. Frank.
  8. That looks like a nice relaxed curve with no bumps or weird tensioned humps following your batten. How does it look from bow to stern looking throughone nearly closed eye? Can you make a picture of that? Does one edge of the batten follow the tick marks exactly and/or is it averaging them? Frank.
  9. Ted, what a secure and tidy way of working. Even in squaring, outlining and determining symmetry and correct heights on the bulkheads I've learned a few metheds for my next build from you! Simply great! Frank.
  10. Now I’m getting to that tricky corner at the stern…I’ll just keep following my lines and curves and I should be allright…I hope… Frank.
  11. Fantastic, marvelous, yaw dropping beautiness in near perfect execution of how a ship model should be build! Congratulations reaching the finish Mike! Thank you very much for all your clear explanations and support in our own build logs of all of us apprentices. Frank.
  12. Good to hear you're making progress on planking Joe! I'd love to see some pictures of your progress. Frank.
