    I just found your build log of this model and you're doing a fantastic job. She looks great! I love these working vessels and this one is a beauty. I think Billings Boats has some very interesting models but the instructions look very brief so I've been hesitant to try one.

    Fantastic model and display, Harry! Congratulations on beautifully completing such a BIG project!

    I remember seeing a list that Chris posted of models he would like to possibly develop for the Vanguard line someday and I was so surprised to see the Constitution on his list. For us Yanks on this side of the pond, the Connie would be a wildly popular model without a doubt. I don't know if I have enough years left to see it happen but, if it does come out before I'm gone, I'll be one of the first in line to buy for sure! 🤞

    This is a really interesting build, Bob. Nice job so far!

    That's a great looking sailboat, Mike! I love the lines of these boats.

    I think the struts look great, Gary. I'm not all that familiar with the dry brushing technique. Do you always need to put a sealant like the semi-gloss acrylic over the top of the dry brushed paint in order to keep it from coming off? Thanks.

    Fantastic model and display! Congratulations, Jeff, it's stunning!

    Outstanding work! I'm very impressed with how you are continuing to find ways to improve the poorly made, original fittings that come with the model. As I mentioned before, I was so disappointed with the poor quality of the original fittings and the lack of instructions at this point in my build, that I gave up. Even now, as I watch you make your way creatively forward, I doubt I could even come close to doing as well as you are doing. Well done indeed!

    Congratulations, Bob, on completing your beautiful Medway longboat! It's a wonderful model and you've done a great job on her. Mine is displayed prominently in our small home and it still makes me feel good every time I look at it because it was a challenging build for me and I'm proud to have completed it. I know you did the same. Give her a good place where she can be proudly seen! '

    Nice work! You're getting there little by little. I know just how vague and confusing the AL instructions are at this point, so if I ever get back to working on my stalled build, I'll definitely be using your build log as a most helpful guide.

    She's a beauty, Vaddoc! It's been a long journey but it's obvious that it was well worth all your time and effort. I look forward to your next modeling adventure!

    Beautiful model! I love the paint job!

    I'm glad to see that you're still building, Mike, despite what the eye doctor has said!

    Thanks for posting this. I have a very small workspace...just a desktop in a small bedroom and this could work perfectly for me.

    Nice work! I'm really interested in how you will finish the deck fittings and the rigging. This is the point in the build where my build stalled to a stop. I was not happy with the quality of the fittings and found the instructions confusing but it looks like you've got the patience to figure it out. Patience is not my best quality at times!

    I like the red color, Tom. She's looking really good to me!

    I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on the historical accuracy of this model but it is certainly is impressive and the marketing video is outstanding.
  18. BobG
    Gorgeous work! I'm really looking forward to following your progress on the deck fittings, masts and rigging.

    Outstanding model, Rob!

    Nice job, David! I really enjoyed watching you build this CG Cutter. She looks really sharp and it was a very fast build too. I hope you will be able to visit one of these ships home based in Boston. I'm sure they'd give you a guided tour and they'd love to see this wonderful model. I look forward to your next ship modeling adventure!

    The Speedwell POF is certainly a beautiful model well worth the price for those who would love to build an outstanding POF model. I think that keeping a couple of them ready on the shelf and then also being able to cut more as needed is a great idea. The Hudson River Sloop and Block Island fishing boat are both very interesting and will be great additions to your high quality line of models. I'm looking forward to following your progress on them.
  22. BobG
    That's a very sharp and fast looking ship, David! Nice work!
  23. BobG
    This looks like an interesting model, Bob. I'll come along for the show. Good luck!
  24. BobG
    Honestly, Glenn, you're the only one who isn't seeing perfection! I can't imagine how it could possibly be any better!

    Wow...what a beautiful model!
