Have fun! That will be a great opportunity as many of us will never walk the decks of the ships we work on.

That is some great progress there.

After listening to the Mariners mirror podcast about three weeks ago about the search for this ship I began reading a little bit more about it. Now it’s found! I guess they started a little PR tour a bit early haha

Outstanding work Ryland!  Well deserved award

Seems odd.  Both of you have posted as I presume your correct accounts (BikerMart and Landlubber Mike).  Clicking on your profile seems to work normally.  The techies may have an idea

This was a nice little kit very well designed and I just finished it myself.

plus I'm heavily into a PlayStation game too. 😆

Haha! Endwalker just dropped and I am pretty sure it's available on a PS.  Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum.  You will find a wealth of information here with many who are eager to help with any questions you have. Although I now live in Ohio I grew up in Baltimore and having the inner harbor area ships as well as one of the worlds greatest collection of model ships in Annapolis is wonderful inspiration.

That's a very smooth run there.  Your attention to detail is really showing 

Outstanding result Ryland.  Your build has been a joy to follow.  You should be proud of this work and I eagerly await your next build

The entire point of the meme is to make the internet rage-nerd trolls react.  Having a FireFly character saying something from the Star Trek franchise and attributing it to a Star Wars character is what makes it funny.

Kinda like this one..

A lord of the Rings character quoting a Star Wars guy and attributed to a Harry Potter character...

The original Dr Who Dalek getting mistaken for a Star Wars droid then not even knowing that and saying you liked him in Star Trek is pretty funny

Hehe very similar to a tee-shirt I saw many years ago had this on it…

Looking forward to this build

but like my wife always points out "you need another hobby like you need another hole is your head" hahaha.

Funny how so many of our wives seem to know each other…..

Very nice work! It has been a pleasure watching this come together

Exactly, Michael! My party trick is to cut an exact 45 degree angle without a protractor using the reflected image on the back of the chisel.

Haha the first time I saw that it blew my mind 😵‍💫…. magic

Druxey, I like that you show what can be done with a 1/4" chisel.  Excellent work as always

Very nice video Allan 

Very nice cross section.  Can't wait to see it displayed on the stand and in the case

I think having a featured article in the Nautical Research Guild journal would be a great place to start.

Also many of us here are members of local modeling clubs which publish monthly newsletters.  A short(ish) write up of the project which we could include in the newsletter would reach many more.

I am eagerly looking forward this project.

I really enjoy following along with this you’re doing such a great job here

Allan, already signed up

I listened to the podcast and it is an interesting addition to my list.  I am looking forward to future episodes

Great Anniversary!  

This is really outstanding work and am so glad you are documenting this build so well.
