  1. Ok bowsprit is finished Tried to add a little extra rope work that that the plans didn't show but picked up from other build logs Not installing it or masts till probably late January or February due to we will be moving back to Texas I figured the ship would have a hard time making the long trip so everything mast related will be done off ship
  2. I'm so jealous bob I want to build this girl Been eyeing her for a while Hope you don't mind me looking in
  3. Thank you guys it's been fun and really is fun to work on this difficult but fun
  4. That or salvage what you can and rebuild the lower section so it's a clean build Think you would be much happier than piecing it together and hoping it holds
  5. Good morning tom Early morning for you Thank you for the pictures Very helpful I do believe I can do it easily now Just wasn't sure how everything fit and glued together I do hope you are well this morning
  6. Got your work Cut out for you but you've done a great job wonderful year well spent. It is a very strange way to plank the ship But it definitely shows your mastery As life allows you I am excited to see this girl come to tuition
  7. I heard hard hard harder a little easier then pray it works lol
  8. Wow sounds very complicated but I think it looks great and you should be very proud of your determined efforts
  9. What is that dimitris Is it a radar ? Looks good but looks like a modern addition to an old girl
  10. Nigel I really do like the color and the choice to go dark red It looks great on your boat Makes it look vicious
  11. Mark that planking looks great Now explain to me is it more difficult to plank on a scratch build or on a kit Seems like your being tedious with the strips but is it because it's difficult or because your just being more of a perfectionist due to pride in scratching
  12. Hey tom can you give me a little more oblique angle of this part of the bow sprit I am having a hard time understanding how it comes together
  13. I'm a nurse and I know the good and bad opiated can do Mark take care of the bride of yours and be there for her I will be praying for her betterment I was just giving you a hard time about your build like you said the wood is patient It will be there when you have the time But for now Janet needs your time more God bless you two
  14. Tom I found them to be probably the most time consuming and stressful part of this build Get them off sync and it looks like crud I do have to say they aren't as pretty as yours turned out but I am very happy and glad they are done
  15. Rigged up the anchors Broke my tiny drill bit so I can't place the front port doors but that will be the last thing on the body of the ship I need to do Next is making the masts Wish me luck lol
  16. Head timbers done That's a big weight off my shoulders Such a confusing and interesting part of the ship Still not sure its purpose but it looks good to me lol
  17. Of course It should be fun but life and it's trials should always be first Good luck to you and your little lady
