Nice fix, Justin. It looks so much better now. Every build I've done required some fixes along the way. It was frustrating for me at first and now I know it just part of the process for me. I'm sure I'll never complete a build without some fixes and redos along the way.

I read the beautifully written tribute you wrote to your father-in-law. It is apparent that he had a truly full and meaningful life and your wonderful remembrance captured that for those of us who did not know him. My sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of this remarkable man.

I'm finally caught up on your build, Justin, and she's looking fantastic. In regards to paint brands, I've been pleased with Vallejo Model Paints diluted for brushing on many thin coats. I also like the Vallejo Model Air Paints when using my airbrush. I haven't really tried any other brands though so I don't know how they compare to other brands.

I'm looking forward to following your build, Paul. I'm very attracted to small, working vessels and I've never worked with a solid hull so I expect I can learn a lot from your build.

Looks great. Ingenious method of making those sails too.

Wonderful model, Josh. Congratulations! I'm just about ready to start reading his book, "Sailing Around the World Alone."

I love this model so I'll be following along also. Good luck with your build, Jim.

Oh man, I do not like those seemingly never ending, repetitive tasks that are common in ship modeling. The sails look wonderful and, although I'm sure it's not historically correct, I rather like seeing the contrast of the white stitching to the darker color of the sails.

You can learn a lot by reading build logs on the forum but the best thing you can do is start a build log for the model you are building. You'll be able to ask questions and get excellent advice. Others will be able to learn from your build as well and you'll make friends here in the process. Welcome to MSW and good luck with your build. You've chosen a great model to begin with.

I've looked for it on the internet and can only find it form vendors in Europe. Were you able to find it in the USA?

I'm just getting caught up on your build and your Alert is looking fantastic! I'm going to try that Floo Gloo Fly Tying Cement also. The rope looks great with it. Where were you able to find it?

Oh gosh, I share the same character trait and it is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing when I finally attempt to fix the problem and it turns out well and it's a curse when my attempted fix is worse than the original problem. I'm trying to learn to step back a bit and know when "good enough" is enough...but it's so hard for me to do!

I just took my seat to watch this build as well, Bob. It looks like you are moving right along so I don't expect any dull moments in this show!

Thanks, Bradley. Monterey was a magical place to be in the early 70's as a young man. It certainly has grown by leaps and bounds since then. My wife and I find ourselves looking at the homes for sale in the area too. I think you mentioned that you are rebuilding your home in Santa Rosa. I hope that is going well for you. The Monterey area in in the midst of a prolonged drought as well and, unfortunately, the conditions here ripe for a catastrophic fire like many areas in California. We're hoping for rain like all other Californians but it appears we are in store for another dryer than normal winter.
