    Yet again, this is great and best of all it’s common sense. While I realize we won’t need to do this for the Longboat or Winnie, it’s a technique we can use for planking anything. It’s yet another example of how you are educating an entire generation of model ship builders. Thanks again. Best, John

    Wow! Nothing else to say.

    Hi Michael, The owner of this ship was extremely fortunate to have found you the restoration. Not only for the he amazing work but also for this wonderful build log which walks through and details the process. Very well done. Best, John

    Jack- I’m so sorry to hear about your brother and I hope his remaining days are spent pain free and in the warmth of love from you and the rest of his family. Best, John

    Druxey, You’re right and I have deleted the post. John ps. But I would still really like to know how he cut those dovetails 🤔

    24 carat real gold leaf foil. I bought all the tools, sizing, and leaf about 20 years ago and this seems like the perfect application. J..

    While waiting for my barge kit, I ordered two sets of the boxwood carvings to practice on and I certainly needed practice. Of the 4 Queen Anne monograms, I murdered three before I finally got a feel for what I was doing. The fourth turned out rather well. The carvings for port and starboard where a little tricky but between the two sets I have a set for the barge. I took photos of my trials and tribulations. I am also planning on covering all the moldings with real gold leaf and I plan on documenting that process as well. With a little luck, I hope to put up a “mini” build log for the entire process. It’s been pretty challenging, but I’ve begun to develop a whole new skill set. Something which drew me to model ship building in the first place. I’ve posted a photo of the monogram below. Best, John

    Chuck, I would be up for the Winnie. John

    Chuck- Sounds like the admiral has her “eyes on the prize”. (Or maybe just tuition🙂). John

    Danny, as I read (and re-read) this log I find myself shaking my head in disbelief. I first followed your work on the the Vulture and now through this build. You are truly a remarkable craftsman and an inspiration to me and others. Many Thanks. best, John

    Nice,

    Thanks Gaetan, i alreaady have a Foredom machine (although it is a flex-shaft). I also have a very nice comfortable quick change hand piece. I guess all I need is some practice and a few more bits. Thanks. best, John

    Beautiful work Doc. Based on your earlier critique of the kit, you’ve created the proverbial silk purse out of a sow’s ear! 🐷 Best, John
  18. Landlocked123
    Gaetan- Both the photography and carving are beautiful. How did you learn to do the carving and what type of tools do you use? Best regards, John
  19. Landlocked123
    Get well Jack!

    Actually, I never heard of it but think it’s a great idea for a quick acid etch. I usually use Sparex but need 30+ minutes for a good pickle. Thanks. Best, John
  21. Landlocked123
    Beautiful.........what a fantastic body of work! John
  22. Landlocked123
    Amalio - thank you for sharing how you prepare your wood. I, like I’m sure many others, find your insights valuable. Best regards, John
  23. Landlocked123
    Beautiful work. It’s a real shame you can’t share with us how you accomplish it.

    Hi Danny, You’ve done it again and have created another masterwork! Congratulations! I noticed how many of comments refer to the fact that the build is card. I think the model is a tour de force regardless of the medium. Thanks for sharing. Best, John

    One word Danny, WOW!!!!!! You’re just too good.⚡️💥⚡️💥⚡️💥. Best, John
