Thanks Jason. Forgot to ask, what does the pencil line in the photos indicate? Thanks again, Mort
-
Sorry Jason, I meant bulkhead #11. Mort

Hi Jason, In pix #132 it looks like gun port #9 is against bulkhead #9. Is that true? Thanks, Mort

I agree. The pictures in the Bluejacket build manual are horrible. Did you completely remove the quarter gallery extensions and completely rebuild it or did you follow the build manuals instructions? Keep up the great work, Mort

Hi David, Drop a note to Chuck Pessaro. He did a Sculpy presentation a few years ago at a joint ship clubs meeting. Mort

Read "The Trafalgar Companion" by Mark Adkin. It covers everything you wanted to know about the battle. It is an amazing book. Mort

Hi Gil, I used Micro-Glaze on my Mamoli Connie and had no problems with it. I just followed the directions on the container and all went well. Mort

I used simple black thread to serve my lines, right from the thread counter. Nothing fancy, just simple thread. Mort

Well done my friend, very very well done. Mort

Hi Stergios, I used all of the ropes included within the kit. I kept the rope as tight as I could just by keeping it hand tight as I served the ropes. you will see it is easy. Hope this helps, Mort

I have always wanted installed belaying pins - glued to the pin rails - before the standing rigging is installed. The entire area is exposed and for me it is easier to install. When the time comes I prefer to belay the rigging line to a secure belaying pin as opposed to a loose one. I put a pin in each hole. If I have any pins that do not have lines belayed to them I usually wrap coils around them. A ship I feel would had extra coils close on hand for emergencies. Keep up the great work. Your build is great. Mort

I used basically the same thread as Jason and I used Elmer's School Glue. Worked out very well. Mort

Hi Jason, Hobbymill is a great source for your wood. Just an FYI if you should need any in the future. They supplied me with wood for my Rattlesnake and it was great. I have maple on order from him for my Diana. Mort
-
Yes I did. Mort

I used a double block. Mort

Thanks. Mort

Thank you, it really does look great. Mort

Hi Ray, Great job as always. Been meaning to ask did you use the kits wood to plank your hull? It looks really great in the pictures. Thanks, Mort

Sorry I forgot to add that I think I would have used the kit supplied dowels were I to have not painted the masts and yards. Mort
-
I painted my masts ochre and the yards black. I think if I were to do it again I might paint the mast bands black instead of the ochre for a bit of contrast but this was not a fancy boat. She was a working "girl". Mort
