You are very kind Cricket and I appreciate your comments . That’s the reason I did the videos in the first place so I am pleased that you found them useful . As life would have it I just returned last night from the Tobago keys and Carriacou so I’ll post some memories. Best regards kevin

The silk span can tear easily so I use a needle to poke holes in it and then put some thin CA on the needle and reinsert. This makes a strong hole. Gently use thread to attach to the sail then attach to the mast hoop.

Hi Scott when i had just started my modeling passion i had access to very little printed material and started collecting any books i could get my hands on. In a moment of weakness i purchased this series. To be honest i have accessed it very few times.

These photos show the clean up and the positioning of the lines as they come out of the corners. It should be an easy fix.

Good mroning Ab from Trinidad. Its wonderful that you have joined us. I have both your books and enjoy reading them. This group of special people are fantastic and will appreciate your contribution As we go forward. I am still collecting data on the Tobago 1677 ships but way short of sufficient information that will result in my building a model of one of these ships. Welcome kevin Kenny

Toni so happy for you. She look fantastic. I guess youll take a breath and start your next project. Have you decided on that as yet?

These are the three bits i use with the Turbo carver to refine and clean up my blocks. Good blocks are essential to a realistic model.

If you slightly sand the edges any difference will dissappear. I have also made moundings on my Proxoon shaper and on my table saw both with excellent results.

I try to prepaint every thing before i install as a rule. Its simple to hard to paint parts on the model. This of course requires a bit of planning. Having said that it is almost impossible to do this with all parts. Masking as you have done will help. I use acrylic paint so it is easy to undo a smudge when i make a mistake. I think your model is coming out just fine.
