ok....that's enough!!...now i feel embarrassed that i ever built a model ship! 😁😁😁

.he's alive!!!....he's alive!!! ..gads....you disappeared!!... absolutely marvelous!!!....oh...what's the future of le soleil royal?? too bad that kit is not available....

man is born, then leaves the world and is mostly forgotten, but brilliant modelers and artists, like mark, create legacies which defy time, and uplift and inspire mankind to continue to pursue that dream, where peace and harmony prevail....

wonderful!!   good shew.....(ed sulivan🙃)

🙂

yea....me too........vc

this ship....immaculate work....i'll need a few more lifetimes to achieve that level of perfection.....congrats!!!!......

strange...''they'' had course, medium, and fine.....purchased at home depot in vancouver many years ago.....i can't even see them mentioned  anywhere online.......i guess the the sandpaper manufacturers, forced termination somehow.....first sandvik, then another company took over....then.....ziltch.......they were-are just wonderful.....

this to me was one of the best inventions next to velcro and crazy glue...ok ....i exaggerate....😁    i've cut pieces from this one and glued them to various shaped wooden handles

these were actually metal with a rough, i think, carbide grit on the surface...i'll send photo when i get back from walk with wife...

i intervene, by asking anyone here if they have seen any metal sanding sheets, i think with carbide abrasive coatings , fine and coarse.....it's like they don'l exist anymore ......they put sandpaper to shame....i still have some after 40 years.....sandvik came out with them first....you can cut them to any shape....the most wonderful tool ever.....maybe it's some kind of suppression?.......thanks....

right on!!!.....ha...i spend half my time correcting my mistakes due to impatience, and cleaning messes i should nor have made in the first place.....😁

creative detailing on an atomic level 😁......you tread where i would fear to tread......sheesh.....

ah...removed pics as marc seems to have disappeared .......

yum yum.....almost makes me want to start building again...but no can do....cheers   vc

ps...that's a very interesting thumb ya got there 😁

hear hear!!...or is it here here!!!.......vc

congrats on the rowing movements...perfecto.....

🤣🤣🤣

amazing how something so graceful and colorful can exude such power.......

 gee, yer gettin more and more refined the older you get.......hope you have a long life 😁

aha...thanks for that.....!!

aha.....that's a bit of a relief.....hmmmm....i'm likely wrong, but the walls of the tower seem a bit thin, as ''they'' didn't have plywood in those days 😁...but maybe they are to scale........hmmmm.....

so wonderful to watch this build....gads...i could remove those blocks on the tower one by one, they're so clean.....such patience and attention to detail i never had.....amazing i still have my own teeth 😁

gads...that's just soooo amazing jerry......congrats.....vc
