Very nice work, Harry!

Very nice! Chris continues to make innovative advances in ship modeling so that more modelers can be successful and enjoy the hobby more easily at the level they choose.

Glad to see that you're still making progress on this wonderful model, Jeff. It's a lovely model!

I know the feeling of "hitting the wall" on a build. I've currently done just that as well on my Pen Duick build. The rigging instructions are all but useless and I've been having difficulty getting motivated to continue to struggle through it. 

Wonderful, precise work, Glenn, and, of course, your build log is informative and a pleasure to read.

Cheers BobG.....like i said to Old Collingwood, they are full of mistakes and down right rubbish, but they look ok...but mostly I enjoyed building them which what it is all about......although Bellona came within a hairs width of being launched against the wall...

Well, I'd be quite happy if I had built those models. As the old saying goes: "One man's rubbish is another man's treasure!

I do, however, fully understand feeling off nearly "launching a model against the wall" or, at the very least, giving it a Viking funeral!

Your models are absolutely stunning! Congratulations!

Thank you, Gaetan! I'll enjoy reading over your build logs. I'm sure I'll be impressed and learn a ton as well!

I finished this kit a few months ago.

Fantastic model. Well done! 

You should post some photos in the Gallery if you haven't already done so. It's such a beautiful model.

Great photos of your build!

I wish the USA would convert to metric but I doubt it will ever happen and, most certainly at my age, I'll never see it. So, I guess it won't matter much in the end since we'll all end up 6 feet or 1.8288 meters under!

Space will always be an issue; while you work and when you will have finished. If you try to find a spot in the house before to begin, you will not build it...

but if you build one, you will find space.

Amazing! I'd love to see some photos of those huge models you have built, Gaetan. Could you post a few photos of them?

Really great job of detail painting, David!

Maybe try a little test area first to make sure it works and doesn't stain or cause you other problems.

Looking great, Tom!

Really well done, Tom!

Nice job, Rich. With a little bit of filler and some careful sanding she'll be ready for some paint. It's always exciting to get to this point.

Hi Harry, I have used CA debonder but I believe that acetone and nail polish remover work also. Good luck!

This is a wonderful looking model, Will. I love these fishing vessels and I'll be following along on your build with great interest. Good luck!

It's my first Caldercraft kit and I'm interested in the comparison with Amati and Vanguard -- my gold standards up to now.

 

I just read through your log, David. Great job so far on this impressive model!

How has your experience been with Caldercraft compared to Amati and Vanguard?

I love these working vessels. Looking forward to following your build. Good luck!

Wonderful work, Derek, and an excellent, informative build log as well.

Floyd, I got liver of sulphur on Amazon. Here's a link:

Nice work, Harry. It looks very good!

Think of it as adding 'character' to the model.

Well then, in that case, I'd say that many of us have a lot of models with plenty of character!

Clearly this was going to be, and proved to be, the easiest hull planking I have ever done.

Very nice, Tom. I might even be able to plank a hull like that without messing up too badly! 🤣
