Rather than using tape for the mast bands, I used some heat shrink tubing,

Nice work, Grant! What exactly is shrink tubing? Those bands look good. 

Very nicely done, Daniel!

Wonderful work, Derek!

Wonderful model! I'm an avid cyclist and I'd love to build a high quality bicycle model if there are any out there anymore.

Nice job, Jayhawk! You've really motored along on this build and she's looking very good!

That's a cool looking model!

I just found your build log and you are doing a wonderful job so far on this beautiful and interesting model. Have you been able to make any more progress?

What a fantastic job you are doing on this beautiful model, closehaul!

Great name, Mike!

It's not done yet,  still have to make the stops on the quill and the lock on the other side.  If it goes into production it's going to be expensive.  The bearings and the ER-16 collet chuck are over 200 bucks.  About 300 bucks just for the store bought stuff + material and time

Given the high quality of your other machines, I'd bet that a Byrnes mill would be popular with modelers.

Wonderful in every way, Don. She's really coming along.

That's a very nice model! I love San Francisco and my son works in the city. I think I'd like to build this model.

Wow...what a model!!

This is fantastic, Tom! Building the Medway Longboat was a breakthrough experience in ship modeling for me. I love the look of it with the sails and now, with the help of your tutorial, I plan to try and put sails on mine. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this tutorial!

  WHEW !  Old Johnny has had a mental workout with all of the above, but I'll admit to a certain satisfaction at having done the exercise.

Indeed!!

I hope you will start a build log of this historic ship.

Beautiful work, vaddoc. Such a pleasure to follow along.

I just caught up on your build, Andy, and your POB is looking really good. She has such beautiful lines and I love the colors too. Great job!

She's a gorgeous model and you created a wonderful build log to boot! Congratulations, Glenn, I've enjoyed following along. 

Gorgeous work, Jean-Paul!

Geez...what a bummer. I hope she heals well and quickly. Oh the things we'll do for our furry, best friends!

My wife and I were hiking recently in the mountains outside of Tucson, Arizona, with my brother-in-law and his wife. My sister-in-law slipped on a rock crossing a stream and broke her fibula down by her ankle. We had to call for a rescue since she could not bear weight on her leg and it was too painful for her when we tried to assist her to hop along on one leg. The Tucson Volunteer Mountain Rescue Group were fantastic in getting her out. Fortunately, she didn't require surgery, just a boot for 8 weeks. 

Very nice work, Daniel!

Buying kits and building them are two different hobbies.

I don't think I'll start a build log because I'm so far ahead

I thought the same thing when I was building my Medway Longboat by Syren and Chuck told me that "it's not too late to start a build log." So I went ahead and started a belated build log. It turned out to be the best thing I could have done since I got so much good advice and encouragement form fellow modelers. 

So I'd say go ahead and start a build log. You'll be able to ask questions and get great advice as needed and it will help keep you motivated to finish your ship. Good luck!
