Bummer you got cut Mike,   but I think every ship being built in this forum has the modeler's DNA embedded in it. 

Lovely work and great pics Gaetan! 

Wow Piet!! They turned out amazing! A croc with teeth! Next you'll be doing carvings for the Royal William, Wasa, and all those other heavily ornamented ships. 

Very nice!!! 

 

I refuse to let anyone threaten me with a good time

Your Admiral's the only one you need to worry about Dennis!   When the "look" is administered, it's time to run and hide! 

Looking good Dennis! Really like the stained-glass! 

Sorry about the blending problems Ken!  That's been an issue with ME for quite a while now in not supplying enough of the copper tape to do a decent job. And I'm not sure if time will blend the 2 shades or not. I do know ME was made aware of it at least 2 years ago, because I talked myself to a Rep there about that issue and a couple others.  I think my solution for that problem will be just to get 2 fresh rolls when I get ready, just to be sure of a match. 

You're doing a real nice job with the planking Mike!  And I too like the contrast! 

Hi Chuck! I'm guessing at some point you'll be drawing the line as to how many of these parts for your Cheerful will be made, and available as pre-made parts for her, but I have to ask if there will be "ladder-kits" down the road? 

Amazing work Patrick! 

Wow Dave!!  You're becoming quite a hand at this carving work!  Very nice!! 

Splendid work Michael!  It doesn't matter about how long it takes when you see the level of detail you're putting into her! 

Nice work with the rigging Jack! Can't wait to see what you've decided about colors!   

A couple years ago when I had a flu-bug, my cat wanted to help! 

Sorry to hear about the "flair-up" Jesse, but there's no deadline on her. Just concentrate on getting well! 

Edit: Your cat probably senses you're not feeling good! 

Interesting in that I wouldn't have thought Swiss Pear would be so forgiving to bend to that extreme without breaking, even after soaking. Very nice! 

I agree with every other adjective that the other guys have been using Glenn. Just ran across this build and found your craftsmanship and attention to detail, just outstanding.  If you don't mind, I'll park a barrel up in the bleachers here and keep on admiring your work. 

Cheers 

Very nice Nenad! Nice work! 

It's a bummer you had to re-do them Dave, but the framed-in look does seem better. 

Nice work Frank!  It's a God-Send having a router and router-table set-up isn't it? 

The hull ornamentation turned out splendid Vince.  Nicely done! 

Don't know how much input I can offer Piet, but I admire your diligence with these fiddly parts. 

I know that feeling well Mike. Whenever I start having problems on any project, I just pack it in and walk away for a while, so I start with a fresh perspective! 

Looking good Mike! 

Definitely good news Piet! Congratulations on getting that clean bill-of-health!

Watching all this come together is cool stuff Dennis, but like everyone else, I'm wondering what the final function for that upper platform will be.
