  1. Hello cpt. Tom! Thanks for the response! Just got my tracking details and it should arrive Friday ,can't wait to see it! I have wanted to purchace this volume for a number of years but money and family abligations have always been in the way but thanks to Clares heads up it will soon be in my hands! I'm greatful for that!
  2. Hi Gaetan! Wow what an impressive build!!! Never seen anything with this kind of scope and difficulty but your work sure is inspiring to say the least! Simply stunning!! I'm new here and so glad to have found this forum to learn from! Gaetan I have only built one ship from a kit the Benjiman Latham but it came out quit well I think, anyways I want to do a scratch build next and have ordered the Le Gros venture monogram and am in high inticapation of receiving it,that being said I think it may be to ambitious of a first scratch build project. Is there something you could recommend that would have say a practimum to go along with a first time scratch building attempt? I am going to need lots of help I'm sure! I don't mean to bother you and this may be the wrong place to post this question but I'm new here and I've got to start some place. By the way your work and skills are just amazing to say the least!!!! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job of documenting your build with so many fine pictures and details,it sure is helpful and inspiring to myself and others I'm sure! Thanks! Craig
