Daniel, that is a sharp little kit. Too bad they don't make these in a way to put in one of your bottles.

Sjors, I'm glad you are finished with ratlines for a while. Your Mirage looks very sharp and is really coming alive.

Hey Popeye, I'm glad to see you making some headway with your Syborn. I like the colors you have on her so far. This is going to be real sharp when you are finished with it.

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

Hey Augie, it looks like you are moving right along! I like what I see so far.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey John,
Thanks for stopping in and having a look. I've been admiring some of the pictures you have taken on your museum trips. So let me thank you as well for the pictures. Unfortunately, this build is going to be moving in a backwards direction as I think that I will be rerigging almost all of it. I've made up my mind that I'd like to include the shot racks and I'd like to rework almost every rope on her. Talk about your major learning experiences... screwing up on rigging really makes you remember mistakes! As soon as the weather turns too cold to be out in the garage playing with my big wood-working tools I'll be inside starting the tear down.

Gentlemen, thanks for the comments and advice! I think it's settled now... I will start over on my rigging from the beginning. Now I just need to figure out how far into the past I want to go. I'll get restarted on this as soon as I finish up some full size wood projects. Thanks again to all who are looking in.

The plans definitely aren't wrong. I was just rushing ahead with some of the rigging. For one, the lanyards for my deadeyes have always been a tad too long and it was a thorn in my side that I worked around. I have also grown dissatisfied with some of the other standing rigging (the list is long) and some of my yard placements. Once it gets cooler out and I am forced inside I will have some update on what I plan to do. Right now the weather is too nice to not be fishing or working on my lathe.

Hey Aldo, thanks for stopping by. My finger is fully healed and has been of great use in my makeshift woodshop (read as garage). When the weather turns cold in Ohio I will be heading in and restarting on the rigging.

Popeye, I was referring to your President and Half Moon. I've been wanting to see how you're going to integrate wood decks on your plastic President.

If you're taking votes into consideration, I say you should go for the challenge. Your other work has been outstanding and I think you have the skills to make this into another work of art.

Frank, you did an excellent job on your crew painting! Those figures are outstanding. They will be be a great addition to your very well done Supply.

Progress is coming right along Augie. I didn't realize you were a speed builder.

Well let's get going on your Mirage then so we can see the start of this warship. I'm hoping I'm in time for a front row seat.

That rigging looks great Popeye. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it!

It's great to see some progress Augie. Those filler pieces are a great addition to add some strength. The more I see these Confederacy build logs, the more I want to build a Confederacy too.
