Ben, the frames look great! You have enough skill at this that I'm not surprised at all that your scrap bin isn't rather large. -
In the past with Niagara I'd get too anxious while waiting for something to dry, do some work that needed to wait and then repair everything after disaster struck.
-
Your not very glamorous progress looks great!!!
-
Jeff, welcome to the best model ship building forum out there. For your thirty minutes, do what you want to do because the goal here is to have fun.

That's really looking great Sherry.
-
The gunports are looking great. Truly precise work with great corners!
-
Rich, the gratings look fantastic! I'd definitely go with David's advice and use a razor saw with very light pressure.

Michael, that is fantastic looking framing. The framing looks very clean and precise. The stern is outstanding.
-
Wow Sjors!!! The cannons look great in place. I can't wait to see them all done.

Sal, that's looking great. I don't see the dent you've mentioned at all so it may just be you're being too critical. Everybody on this forum is guilty of that. I'm glad you're having fun with this. It's my favorite past time and allows me to tune out the rest of the world.

Bob, I'm glad to see you back on your Niagara. The planking is very clean. Very nice progress.
-
Sal, I'm not sure I have too much to offer, but thanks all the same for the compliments. Tim, I'll probably be putting together the battle station in conjunction with Connie so I have something to work on while glue dries.
-
Great work so far. One of the benefits of a painted and coppered hull is you can use wood filler if you do accidentally take off too much wood.
-
Very nice work Tom. The extensions for your bulwarks look to be right on target. Do you plan on planking the hull as your next step?
-
Hank, how are you not going cross-eyed looking at these tiny parts??? That is excellent work! I'll have to second Mark's comments about not seeing anything different between the two.
-
Rich, the openings and hatch covers look great. Very clean work indeed. We should be envious of you for such an incredible build so far.

Sjors, the roundhouses and gunports are outstanding. Great job. I hope the template works out well for you gunports. Great progress!
-
Tim, I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking possibly 1/32nd scale but I haven't measured anything out yet to see if it's what I want to accompany Connie when she's in her final display.
-
Al, I appreciate the links and further information regarding the gun port lids. I am definitely planning on no gun port lids at this point. I would like to make a battle station mock-up to go along with my Connie so a lot of my questions in this area are about securing the little details. John, thanks for looking in on me. I am actually working on Connie (and some progress is being made), it's just slow going with so many other things tugging me in every direction. I'm almost finished with the bulkheads.
-
DrWatson, nice start to your Phantom. Your precision will pay off down the road.
-
The railing is outstanding. That's a very clean joint at the iron brace.
-
Great work Augie. I'm glad you're finding some time inside to work on Confederacy.

Rich, the transom looks great. The eagle is a big improvement over what was supplied.
