Ok basswood it is. Thanks fellas. 

Is it okay to use Balsa rather then basswood for filler blocks? I am starting with the Fair American and the Armed Virginia Sloop from Model Shipways. Does it really matter if I use one or the other? I have a very limited tool supply and no power tools yet. So I was hoping to use the balsa for that. Especially in the bow where I have to shape everything correctly. I wasn't sure if that was okay or not thanks. 

Someone knew FAR in advance that I was coming to this forum. Ha ha ha. the NJ is one of my favorite ships. She's looking mighty fine there Hank. 

I'll say they look nice. REALLY NICE... very well done. 

Looking good Denis. Well done. 

Mike this is looking very nice. Its funny, I just came across this website a few weeks ago. Until I started looking at these models I never knew the Mayflower had canons onboard. 

AWESOME. 

Get well Adam. Great blog. Can't wait to follow along when you return. BOOYAH

Hey Dr. Watson can you post a better picture of that steam thing? I can't really tell how the inside is set up. I am going to try another idea first but if that doesn't work, I might give this a try. Thanks. Hope your doing okay in this brutal cold in CT. 

Nice job Ben. Very nicely done. 

Off to a great start Robert. 

This is looking good. WOW Casey Minnesota North Stars. Now theres a blast from the past. ha hah 

Ok thanks Dee Dee. Looks like someone moved this. Thats why I couldn't find it. Thanks. That makes sense. 

This build is looking very nice.

Anyone ever use it instead of wood fill blocks? I don't have any of the bigger equipment and won't for a while just wondering if I can use that instead of wood filler blocks?

Joe I am new to this site. Glad I found this thread. Great blog. Will be following it with great interest. Keep it up. 

I am going to follow this one with interest looking great Mundie. Keep up the great work. 

Excellent job Mike. Well done. Very well done. 

I plan to follow this one closely as I really want this kit. Did they fix the bugs in it yet? I'd like to order it by the end of March with that nice sale thats going on. 

Looks great. Keep it going. 

WOW this is my first time running through here Bob. This is amazing work. Nicely done. Very nice. I didn't get a chance to read everything you did but I cruised through most of the pictures. 

Great start. Keep it going. 

Off to a fast start Carmelo. Very nice looking so far. Don't slow down now...

WOW this is first I heard of this, and I am only an hour north of her. Thats a real shame. 

Off to a great start with this one... Looking good.
