LOL Don Robinson!!!! -
Looks good John. I too have switched to using Zig markers for my plank edges.
-
Hmmm... who is in the picture? Well, it's not Patrick Henry. Since it's circa 1768, I will guess King George III.? Edit: I know my answer is not correct. I have been scanning tons of portrait images from the time period but cannot find a match!!!
-
Ha!!! Love the portrait!!!
-
Just the plain boxwood makes them look great!!!
-
.... caprail, ships wheel, cannon, carronade, anchor... to name a few more.. Looking fantastic!!

Coming along nicely David. Like you and Dave, i also work on multiple projects at once. I always have 3 - 4 models going in various stages of construction. I find that not only does it help to fill in the time gaps, but it also keeps me from rushing too quickly on any one thing.
-
Looking real good Dave. All that extra color and detail makes a big difference in the end.
-
Very glad to see your shipyard back up and running David. I am looking forward to the rest of your build. She looks to be coming along very nice!!
-
She looks stunning Dave. How are you contending with that snow I see?
-
Hi John. Of course I have to ride along on this build!! Mike
-
I wouldn't miss this adventure!! The crew is here to encourage you onward!! Mike

Hi Don, yup I always have models on the bench. Currently I am working on an AL stagecoach for my stepson, an Apollo Lunar Lander (in plastic) for my wife, and I just started working on the Dahlgren Howitzer that comes with the MS Picket Boat kit. Never a dull moment in this hobby shop!!
-
Cool Don! I have never heard of this kit. Will ride along with you..
-
Looks outstanding so far Dave. On mine, I didn't glue any frames to the keel until after all of them had been fitted and faired. If you do a very meticulous job at fairing the frames individually before they are glued you will find that there is very little fairing left to do after you remove her from the jig!!! That maple is going to really look nice!! Mike

Hi Jeff. I agree with wq3296. Adding a plank to the bulwark would be my absolutely last resort. Mike
-
Really nice work Brian. Your tenon cuts are very clean. Mike
-
Looks like you are off to a great start Dave! Mike
-
I'm very happy to see another one of these builds getting started. I'm rapidly closing in on 300 hours into mine and its been both challenging and very rewarding!! Mike Shanks
-
Excellent details on this model!!! Thanks for sharing. Mike Shanks
-
Man that's a tough situation Dave. I think Jonathan might be onto some clues for you to explore. If anyone can fix it, you can!!! Keep going!!
