    I can see here what I hope to look forward to. Great build going on there. A question, has anyone tried to use other woods for masting and spars than what is provided in the kits?? Keep up the great work Kevin, I admire all of you in your artistic achievements. "Woody"

    Thumbs up Jerry... they do excellent spinal surgeries today.. Much better results than 40 years ago. Wishing you the best of success and regained health. Cheers.. Woodchipper

    As well as the rest of the crew.. welcome home. And also I share your pain thoughts. I too have ruptured disc with L1 and L5 in the pain dept. since 1978. I will be adding a Lathe to my armory machines tomorrow to do my future masts turnings. Looking forward to more of your expertise. "Woodchipper" Woody

    Congrats rich... How do you hide something this big.. and build noisy.. ?? Hey.. That's exactly the sander I use here too.. In the USA. And thanks for the 4th Greetings. God Bless the Queen as well. Another toy that I find indispensable is the small Dremel rechargeable drill. I cannot get along without it putting on the side planks. I predrill my holes partially, and then the nail.. and a hammer. Forget the push pin gizzy.. I started with it, then got the drill. No regrets.. Again. congrats.. I rarely give structural advice, as there are super model builders here to do that. Thankfully. I lean on them a lot. "woodchipper" or "Woody"

    Many thanks Dan.. I found not many areas that needed any work and very little at that so I abstained from anything anything. simply reset and re glued the problem site. All three gun port's (270, 271, and 272) are on the bulkheads and planking has begun. I am using nails and glue for the initial planking start planks. Just for grins. It seems to work much faster. Oh.. I use a very tiny predrill prior to the nailing. Dry hole, then glue, then nail applied. Hope that is o.k. 3 more planks in the bender rig as I type. High fives and regards. Woody

    Nice so far Rich. I hope I too can equal your successes....Keep it up.. "Woody"

    Hello once more.. just a update.. I finished the bow area on starboard side today on the last gun port. I pre formed with a jig, the curved bow gun ports. Seemed to work very well. I also nailed the ports in place as well as glued. Nice and solid now. Thanks Jerry...I will surely follow your build as well as Gil and Shipyard Sid. S'Sid, saved me from a very improper start. Had to strip off the first set of top ports.. Yikes. "Woody"

    My compliments to you sir, are well deserved. Exceptional work on your ship. "Woody"
