Very nicely done, Ilia!

In that photo of the Shamrock in the dry dock, it looks like the hull is a super high gloss, mirror like finish. I guess that these racing sailboats would want that so there would be the least amount of friction possible.

The bricks are fantastic!

Stunning paint job!

Beautiful, intricate painting! Nice job!

Congratulations, Chris, on your 56th and for all of your amazing success with your Vanguard models. I've got 20 years on you and, when I look back to 20 years ago, I can't believe has fast those years flew by. The laws of physics get turned upside down around age 60 and time actually speeds up! 

Can't wait to see the American privateer you are working on. Any projected date for when it may hit the market? The suspense is building by the day! 

Holy smokes, Tom, that looks like a complicated, spider's nest of rigging to sort out!  Good luck!

That's a beautiful little boat! Nice job!

Glad you're on the mend, Harry, those rotator cuff injuries take a long time to heal. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress reports. Best wishes!

Really nice, Dan!

Watching you make this diorama is so much fun!

Amazing detail, Grant! Those shingles are very realistic!

Your work is stunning, John!

Your work is nothing short of perfection, Glenn. Well done!

Like BE said, your whole process of making the diorama is wonderfully fascinating. How did you learn how to do it in the first place?

btw I live in EDH 

I'm in the Land Park neighborhood and it's finally raining!

I just came across your build log and your work is beautiful. These working boats that Chris has designed are wonderful.

So beautiful, Derek!

Welcome! You've certainly built some beautiful models!

Any Baltimore Clipper design will be beautiful especially designed by Chris.

Their lines are so sleek and and I love the rake of the masts. Gorgeous ships!

I just found your build of this lovely model, Paul, and your work is stunning as usual. The AYC looks great too. It's such a wonderful wood to work with. I'll be following along. Good luck! 

I really like working boats so I'll be following along on your build, Andrew. It looks like you are doing a nice job of managing the small difficulties you've encountered with the kit already. Good luck!

I'm working to finish off the Greek Bireme I'm building for my wife... 

That's a beautiful looking ship also!

That's a beautiful book, BE!

It is not Pride of Baltimore. I see no sense in developing kits others have already done, even more so when it's a brand new range. I prefer to do stuff that hasn't been done thus far.

Great news none the less. I'm really glad that you have decided to add an American vessel to your line of models. 👏
