Hi Guys, Sorry if I missed something but Kevin why would you used the Evergreen Plastic Ptrips for the gunport linings? Thanks, Mort

Hi Rob, Next time try the blue painer tape. It works very well and is at any Lowes or Home Depot. Mort

Keep up the good work. Mort

I agree the jig looks right. The measurements were incorrect. That is how we learn. I cannot begin to tell you how much I have learned from my mistakes. You are doing a great job, Mort

I agree with Floyd. You did a great job. Mort

Hi Ray, Welcome back. Glad to hear the surgery went ok. I am sure it is painful. Just be careful and listen to the doctor and the Admiral. They know best. Your build log is worth waiting for. Thanks for the diagram of your jig. I will try it when I build my Diana. Mort

Your planking looks great as do the gunports. I did not take that close a look at them so I cannot comment as others have but how long did it take? I think cutting the ports is much harder than copper plating a hull. Mort

Looks very nice. I also am going to mount all of my guns rigged. I bought blocks from Warner Woods West. He does great work. I have all but the chase guns rigged. Hope to get to them this weekend. Rigging the guns was slow and tedious but like the coppering it is worth it in the long run. Keep up the great work, Mort

Hi David, Sorry to hear about the problem. Can you remake the strops out of wire or am I way off? Mort

Hi Guys, Jim the build looks great, coming along nicely. Jason I agree with you on both counts that the first gun on both sides should be installed before the platforms and they would not have been carronades regular chase guns. Mort

If a kit comes with copper plates than I would and have coppered the hull. To me coppering the hull is no different from planking. I also feel that there is no substitute for the plated hull look. With that said the above models of the Diana, Minerva and Atalanta are simply maganificent but they are builders models which I do not think were coppered. However if I were building a model of the Connie or Cutty Sark or any other model that I knew had a coppered hull I would copper it. Mort

Hi Patrick, I have always used contact cement when I have applied copper plates. It is easy to apply to the plate and hull, gives one time to adjust the plate and peels off easily if any gets on the plate. Mort

Hi Ray, Question concerning the deck planking. I know you said you made a paper cutout and cardboard deck planks but did you make a jig to help you shape the planks? Thanks, Mort
-
Your deck is very impressive. I tip my hat to you. Best of luck with the surgery. Hope you return soon better than ever. Mort
-
Your work is superbe. I love the netting. Enjoy the vacation. Mort

I went the same thing you are in the middle of. Now I have a great room to build my ships. It was worth the wait in spite of the withdrawls I experianced. Mort
