Ryland Craze

Alistair,

I am sorry to hear of the loss of all of your pictures and files when your computer crashed.  I am glad these pictures got posted to MSW before your PC failure.

I just want  to let the AVS builders know that you will be there to comment on their build logs and offer them encouragement and guidance.  You have been inspirational and motivating on my AVS build and I appreciate it.  You have a lot to offer these AVS builders and I thank you for your support.

Very nice build.  Thanks for posting this.  I have kit #19 of this series and hope to build it some day.  When I do, I will definitely use your build log as a reference.

Dave,

Your new keel looks really great. It looks like the place to be in two weeks is the Echo workshop. I wish that I could have attended that one. Thanks for supporting the IPMS Show in Richmond this past Saturday. Maybe you can enter your Echo cross section in next year's show.

Tim,

You are making good progress on your Elco.  The hull lines look great and I also like the cradle you made to hold the hull.  Keep up the good work.

Ken,

You are doing a great job on your AVS.  There used to be quite a fleet of AVS models on MSW.  I hope they all come back.

David,

I am glad to see your build log back online.  Your Niagara is really looking nice and I will be following your build.

Thanks for putting this build log back online. The pictures show a lot more detail in MSW 2.0 than on the older version of MSW.  Absolutely a beautiful model.

Excellent job as always.  I really enjoy this build.

Alistair,

Glad to see your AVS build log back online. As I said on MSW 1.0, this has to be one of the best crafted Armed Virginia Sloops that I have ever seen. Your build log will definitely help those of us that are still building the AVS. The pictures of your AVS on this new version of MSW show way more detail than what was on the old version of MSW. Thanks for posting them.


 

Thanks maaaslo,

I do my mast and spars the same way except I use sanding sticks, the type that women use for filing their nails.  I pick them up from the local beauty shop supply store.  They come in various grades.

I have this tool and I am in agreement with what Jay says.  I have used it for ship modeling and many household chores.  Never had a problem with it and like Jay says, "Let the sander do the work".

Pasi,

Glad to see your Rattlesnake build log back on line.  I have enjoyed following all of your build logs over the years.  Look forward to more pictures.

Take care.

Glad to see you build log back up and running. I will be following it.

Tim,

Glad to see your PT Boat build log up and running.  You are doing a good job on this kit and I look forward to following the build.  Also, thanks for bringing this model to the meetings to share your progress with the members. 

Augie,

Glad to see your Syren build log back online.  I have the Syren and am looking forward to starting to build this kit after I complete my Armed Virginia Sloop.  Your build will be definitely a guide for me to follow.  Keep up the good work and thanks for getting the pictures up so fast.

Glad to see this log back up and running.  You are doing a very nice job on the Cross Section and I hope to see the other Triton build logs back online.

Beautiful work.  I am sorry to say that I was not following this build on MSW 1.0, but I will be following it from now on.  This is going to turn out to be one fine model.

Thanks Toni for posting your build.  It is a great help for us that are building this kit.

Bob,

I am glad to see your build log back on the forum.  I really admire the fine work that you do.

Remco,

I really enjoyed your build log of your Kingfisher.  I have the LSS kit of the Kingfisher and hope to build it some day.  As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words".  I look forward to seeing your pictures.
