Wes, can you let us know where we can get these wonderful dyes? And is there a particular brand name for the one you have used? I ask because I really like the look you have achieved with your samples and would consider doing this prior to planking when I start on my Connie. -
It's starting to really come together. I can only echo some other comments that you make this build look easy.
-
Mobbsie, the chains look great and you have a great little kit there with you pinnacle. Congrats on your promotion.

JP, your Rattlesnake's gunports look great. I'm anxious to see these next steps with how you color your planking material.
-
This looks like it's going to be a ton of fun JP. The parts all look nice and I'm looking forward to following along while you plug away with the precision we're all used to.
-
The rigging is really looking nice Sjors. More ratlines... more ratlines... more ratlines... more ratlines
-
JP, we're all happy you're making sawdust again. The gunport you have finished looks really good.
-
Planking is still looking great! And did you say gap? What gap?
-
Bob, I think you are doing an excellent job with a kit that has already proved to be a serious challenge. Your last photos have really helped me appreciate how many bulkheads are in this kit. I'm very anxious to see some planking going on.

Augie, would you please clarify what a pencil sander is? That stern is really shaping up by the way!
-
Hey Augie, it looks like you are moving right along! I like what I see so far.

The ratlines are looking great Sjors!

Mobbsie, progress is coming right along! And your progress is looking great! I really like what you've done with the figurehead and your gun port lids all look nice and even.

I'm glad you decided to go this way. Your builds are nothing short of inspiring and this will help other folks when they purchase a kit and find shortcomings that they need to overcome that would otherwise leave them frustrated. I'm positive that ME will get a great product out there as well. I've been a fan of their kits for a while now. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for further updates as this will be on my wish list when it gets released to the public.

With your permission Captain, I'd like to hop aboard! I understand that you have a pretty intense build going on already, but I'll be watching when you start this one as the Confederacy is really picking up steam as the next kit I'd like to purchase.
-
Wow Popeye! You have accomplished quite a bit in the last day or two. The rigging is looking excellent. I've had a lot of luck with bringing in slack with other rigging and stays, but sometimes it can be a real PITA for sure. I can't wait to see more!
-
Augie, you need to put your ribs in the oven longer; those look too tough and chewy! LOL. Those are going to show through nicely when you have the planking put in. I'm glad to see you are moving right along.

Those are great pictures Sjors! I am anxious to see the Mirage with all of it's rigging in place.
-
It's these little details you put into your models that make your work into true masterpieces. Just like you said... most won't know the waterstops are there, but it's cool that you still take the time to put them in. Your scarf joint is already a work of art.

Augie, no doubt on deep dark days ahead of us. That's prime time for ship modeling for me though. I'm not itching to get outside when there is snow on the ground. I have no doubt that you'll be able to produce a fantastic planking job.

Flying a kite in a snowstorm is cold work I would think. Your Half Moon is looking great!
-
Sorry about the waiting Popeye. I have to get all the work in my garage done while the weather is warm enough to do so. JP, I haven't seen you for a bit. Have you put your build on a hiatus as well?
-
Great progress Sjors! I thought your last stay looked good, but your redo is looking even better.
-
And now the chanting begins..."planking, planking, planking..." LOL. Your progress looks great Augie. Are you planning on staining the exposed frames to contrast with the planking?
