ken3335 got a reaction from Landlubber Mike in Royal William Kit by Vince P. - Euromodel - 1:70
Hi Vince, I would like to thank you and the other members for the time and effort that has been put into creating these superb build logs for the benefit of others. Although I wasn't buildig the Royal William I followed them with great interest as much of what you were doing was relevant to other builds especially the effort towards detail and quality building. Your efforts are not wasted as it's logs like these that makes me and and I'm sure other mere mortals want to build better. I have been inspired to have a go at the Royal William, so to that end I have now got the kit. Having read what has been written and examined the contents I agree with all that you have said, but not having super detailed photo etch for me gives it an old fashion charm and perhaps more character just like a classic car, I may regret saying that when I get into the build as I realise that I am going to be way out of my comfort zone with this.
I will take about three months to finish my current project but when I start I will create a build log of my own, my first. I am a bit nervous of the response though as I'm afraid my present standard falls well short of the current builds out there but I'll give it a go and perhaps I can blame you if it all goes pear shaped.

Thanks Ken. You are so right about posting build logs. I only do it to help others. In the beginning it does take some courage to do so because you are putting your efforts out there for all to see, and expect criticism of your work. In all the years I have been posting on this sight, I have had only one individual make a post that was critical. Although he was correct, it was not comfortable to see it in my log. If I see something that needs correction in a build log to really help the builder along, I will use a private message so that only the builder and myself can see it. I have only done it once, since the poor fellow was heading for big trouble in his build. He was grateful for my help. If you have to be critical, make sure it is constructive. This site is known for this and that is why it is rewarding to post a build log.

Thanks Marcus, Don and Brian, your comments keep me going and thanks for others pushing the like button. I've been stuck doing a bunch of accounting the last several days and have lost my shipbuilding energy. Anyway I may as well post a picture since I'm on. I've finished the bench planking with maple. I hope it looks ok with the other 2 woods in that area. I need to get the hatch covers and companionway done and a few other details then it's time to get the WOP on.
