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. 👏

The framework reminds me of the Pride of Baltimore and, if it's a Baltimore clipper, I'll be ecstatic! I love the beautiful lines of those clippers.

This is very interesting model, Greg. Nice work so far!

That's an absolutely gorgeous model, Paul! Well done!

What a beautiful build, George!

Gland to hear you're on the mend, Mark, and I look forward to you returning to your shipyard and your fine build.

Beautiful ensign, Ron! What exactly is copier paper...just regular weight, white paper for a printer?

I love these magnificent, racing sailboats, David. They have such elegant lines. I'll be following along on your build. Good luck!

I think that using cyanoacrylate glue is for the planking is just fine especially since you'll be painting the hull which will cover up any stains. You have to be much more methodic and careful when you use it for planking a hull that will be not be painted.

I like to use medium viscosity for planking by applying just a small dot of glue to a few bulkhead at a time while laying down a plank starting from the bow and working carefully towards the stern. I shape the plank until it lays down quite naturally along the bulkheads and fits tight against the previous plank before beginning to glue it down. Be sure to have some cyanoacrylate Uncure on hand to unstick your fingers! 

I can't wait to see how you make the diorama, Ron...exciting!

I'm sorry to hear that you need heart surgery, Bob, but once you get that ticker fixed, you'll be in good shape for the long run. Wishing you the best for a swift recovery and looking forward to your next build post in the near future.

Really nice start on the planking, Ed. I like how you used colored tape on each bulkhead when laying out the tick marks.

You've built a wonderful model, Glenn, congratulations on finishing her in fine fashion! 

Your Latham looks great, Bill! I look forward to following your Endurance build too. Great choice of models!

Congratulations, BE! Your Sphinx is stunning and your build log has been a pleasure to follow. I'm sure all of us who follow your builds will be anxiously waiting to see what you choose next.  

It doesn't get much better than this, Chuck. Truly a work of art!

Beautiful model, juhu! Congratulations!

Superb work, Pete!

Beautiful model, Paul! Well done!

It's a big project, Harry, but you're making nice progress!

Fantastic model and display, BE!
