Larry, I am also guilty of regularly visiting the makeup aisle in CVS and Walgreens to get those wonderful sanding sticks. It's amazing that you can score those for so cheap but in a hobby store you usually find something of lesser quality for double or triple the price. -
JP, glad to see you have a plan of attack on this, and it's always goood to see that some parts in our kits actually do match up with our plans.
-
Hey Larry, band A's planking looks fantastic! I'm glad to see some pictures of progress and to hear you are feeling better.
-
Wes, I am definitely going to be using this dye method when I get started on my Connie. I like the idea of being able to install pre-colored planks. Your samples look really sharp with the poly on them.
-
Sjors, I don't think any company has made a perfect set of plans just yet. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm sure you'll get through it just fine though. Your work is always top-notch!
-
That is very nice rigging Sjors! Once you get these all finished then the rest starts going pretty quickly. Are you going to be installing the yards next?
-
Bob, your progress with this difficult build is nothing short of inspiring and your work is just as clean as always.
-
For a finish are you just planning on using a poly? Like you, I enjoy a good bit of woodworking and will most likely apply what I'm learning about these dyes on some of my projects.

Hey JP, I think Erik has a good idea with sanding down part 16, but you could also consider gluing a strip of wood to the bottom of 15 as well. I don't think either way would hurt in the long run. ... I think.... lol
-
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.
