    Great work and build log as always, Glenn! You're writing the Cheerful Build Log Bible for anyone who would like to build this model or just plain learn a lot about model ship building. I have a problem with dust since I work in a small room. I try to do as much sanding as possible outside because of the dust but that's not always possible. Which model of Rabbit Air do you have? I've never thought about using one of those small air purifiers for dust control. I always thought they were just for smaller particles like allergens etc. Does it remove most of the dust from your modeling area?

    Great job! She's going to be a beauty. I hope I can still do ship modeling as well as you do if I'm fortunate enough to make it to 90!

    Very disappointing for sure!

    Superb, Glenn! The fine work you are doing on the rigging has really brought the model to life.

    I just found your build, Tim, and it's fantastic. You did a wonderful job on the planking and your painting and staining is outstanding. Given the high quality of your work here, I would love to see some photos of your other ship models too.

    Gorgeous, Justin! She's going to be a beauty for sure.

    Very, very nice work, Justin!

    Fantastic work, Amalio!

    I just completed reading through your build log, BranPie. You're doing a very nice job and your planking looks good especially for your first time. You can lightly sand the entire hull carefully to smooth it out a bit. Then add filler to any areas that need it and sand it again to get is completely smooth and symmetrical. Take care not to sand through the planks though. I've done that and it isn't easy to fix! Good luck.

    I just got caught up with your build log, Daniel, and you are doing a great job especially considering that this is your first wooden ship model. She's going to be a beauty!

    Really, really beautiful Kevin!

    Wow, Erik, she's absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on building such a fine model. You've done her and Chris Watton proud! I have this model and, after watching you and BE build her, I think she may well be the next model in line for me. I'll be bringing up the rear though since the two of you have set the bar so high...

    Mike, I think you have established yourself as the CEO of The Wooden Ship Model Rescue Organization! It's always fun to see what models you have given new life to...

    The 1959 book, Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing, is a gripping tale of survival and I have been hoping that someone would make a kit of the Endurance. There are so many wonderful ship models with fascinating histories and I'm happy to see that Occre has made a kit for the Endurance. I'll have to add this one to the queue.

    Great work, Glenn, and a wonderfully informative build log as well! What is the tool with the different diameters that you are using in the photo of you forming your hooks and eyelets?
  18. BobG
    Beautiful work and so FAST!!

    The stand really helps to display this boat very nicely, Ekis, good job!

    I just got caught up on your build of this beautiful model, BE, and, of course, you're doing an exceptionally fine job as usual. This build has been on my radar ever since I first saw it a few years ago. So I'm onboard for the journey. I've been on a prolonged hiatus from ship modeling of late. Playing guitar and photography have taken center stage for me recently and, now that my wife and I are fully vaccinated, we are on an extended road trip in the southern California and Arizona. I'm afraid I've become an "armchair ship modeler" for the time being but excellent build logs like yours get me excited to get back to modeling again. Good luck!

    When I think of a ship I always think of a large vessel. What's the dividing line between a ship and a boat by definition?
  22. BobG
    Your dory turned out really well, Bob. Congratulations. What's next?
  23. BobG
    Beautiful, Glenn!

    Wonderful work!

    I'm really glad to you are building this cross-section, Tom. I've been looking at it for a while and will be following along closely.
