  1. I've looked online a little bit and have only seen the Project X available. Do you have any recommendations of where to look?
  2. I look forward to following this unusual and interesting build, Tom. I have an out-of-production Amati Gondola kit that still on the shelf. I keep thinking it might be a nice, short build but it seems like all these wooden boats take longer than expected.
  3. That a beautiful finish you got on the wood, ir3, and those fittings look like they are very high quality.
  4. I use Titebond Thick & Quick a lot and prefer it to regular Titebond since it isn't as runny and, generally, I can just use finger pressure for a few seconds to allow it to grab securely enough to move on.
  5. Beautiful boat, David! I may have to put this model on my tick list. She has such beautiful lines. My wife and I went on an afternoon sail on the Bluenose II in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, last fall on a blustery day and enjoyed it very much. I'm really looking forward to your build of the Ontario. She's a magnificent looking ship!
  6. Simply stunning craftsmanship on this beautiful boat, Gary! I need to go back now and study your build log. The level of detail you have achieved is amazing.
  7. ...but you can get an unexpected basement in Florida if your house is sitting over a future sinkhole!
  8. It's wonderful to see you developing yet another amazing looking model ship kit. Can you tell us what other model ships you are thinking about creating in the future? I would love to see a model of a chebec in your ship models.
  9. You got a great deal, Bradley! These clipper ships are stunningly beautiful. I'm looking forward to your build.
  10. First of all, welcome to MSW from a fellow Californian (Sacramento). You made a lot of progress in a short amount of time. I'll pull up a chair and follow your build of this beautiful ship. Is this model still in production from Model Shipways? It looks like it comes in one of their modern blue boxes but I've never seen it on their website. Good luck!
  11. This is a lovely boat, SkiBee. I too am glad to see this model being built and I look forward to following along as you build it.
  12. I didn't do a build log on my first two small models either. Then I began building the Medway Longboat and got to a point where I needed help. I got a lot of encouragement to go ahead and make a build log even though I had already finished the hull. It turned out to be the best thing I could do. Not only did I get a lot of good advice but I also got a lot of nice comments and encouragement. That motivated me to keep going especially when it got to the rigging. I had never done any rigging before. Doing the build log helped me finish the model and do a nice job on it. I wouldn't have done as well as I did without the advice and encouragement I received from other modelers. The Flirt may be my next build once I complete the Pen Duick. I'm looking forward to following along as you build this wonderful model. Good luck!
  13. I just came across this topic. This model looks to be pretty high quality and I think it will be popular.
  14. Simply outstanding in every way...a gorgeous model! I just came across your build log and am looking forward to reading it carefully now.
  15. An expert modeler once told me that slowing down was half the battle. Your thoughtful work will pay off big time as you continue on.
