Great job on the crow's feet!

Great accomplishment! Beautifully done!

VERY nice! Those photo-etched additions turned out great! The overview shot looks fantastic!

I did the same as Peter on my Mayflower, but I used a small amount of fabric glue to attach the "rope" first and hold it in place while I stitched.

Fabric glue will dry with more flexibility, but both will work.

Time for me to say: "Wow" to all the wonderful comments! Thank-you so much Tom, Edwin and Robbyn! And Thank-you for all the "likes" as well.

Tom, I use Testors gold #1144

Not to worry Popeye, at least you asked about dolphins and not something that doesn't exist on my ship - then we'd know there's a problem.

Thank-you Dan! It will take me a while to get her fully dressed - lots of work ahead!

Thank-you for the generous comments, and welcome aboard Mike! I've had so may comments about the "Sherry Blue" that I probably could sell it!

NAZGÛL · April 15, 2014

Lovely work on the painting...on the whole ship really! Those outdoor shots are great - will have to take my ship outside too!

April 15, 2014

E&T: Welcome aboard and thank-you very much for your kind words!

April 15, 2014

Thank-you Mark, Frank and Popeye! Your kind comments are very much appreciated!

Popeye: Do you mean the dolphins in this post?: stern shot

Just found your new log - looking forward to your progress!

augie · April 14, 2014

Just love the look of the stern with that rudder - nice job!

April 14, 2014

Great job on the ratlines! She's really looking nice!

Mirabell61 · April 14, 2014

Thank-you Piet, Bindy, Patrick, Nils and Grant! I really do appreciate all the kikd comments!

gjdale · April 13, 2014

Beautiful...the more lines, the more she comes to life!

April 12, 2014

Thank-you so much Michael, Sjors, Bob and Augie! Your comments are a wonderful encouragement!

Every part you make has such clean and crisp lines - amazing! You really do "Treat each part as if it is a model on its own"

Jeronimo · April 12, 2014

When I stop by your log I feel that I am in an actual shipyard viewing a real ship taking form! Beautiful work!

The gun port liners are almost done, but to break up the monotony I started working on the decorative frames for the upper gun ports. The starboard side is finished and I'm almost finished the port side.

Piet: I think she needs a parachute rather than wings! On second thought, maybe no more flights at all!

Matti: Thank-you! I wasn't sure about the blue at first, but I like it now.

April 12, 2014

I have to agree, definitely beautiful work - always look forward to your updates!

April 10, 2014

Welcome back Paul! Glad to see an update - boats are off to a great start!

mobbsie · April 10, 2014

I'm with Wayne - very jealous! Happy for you though - congrats on the toys!

dgbot · April 9, 2014

There's nothing like a perfect piece of wood - that's why I lean toward good antique furniture instead of modern plastic and sawdust compressed stuff.

Okay we've seen the 'pre-sawdust' photos and now looking forward to the 'post sawdust' installment!
