  1. I am just finishing up a new batch of these kits as I write this. You did a fantastic job with it. This model kit is a as close to the contemporary versions you will ever see. And those pictures really show how well you executed. Well done....and straight out of the box. You didnt have to bash or replace any items. That is a testament to your skills.
  2. Those 3d printed parts look fantastic. You should seriously consider trying to paint them. Since the sleds are just red with iron straps and metal work, it should be pretty straight forward. A serious improvement to those crappy guns supplied. Iam glad that they are available. Chuck
  3. Yes it is still ongoing and yes the carving blanks are still available here. I encourage all members to join this group and give it a try. https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/royal-barge-kit.php#!/Extra-Boxwood-Carving-Blanks-One-full-set-of-the-seven-decorations-needed/p/98399892/category=25581355 It would be great to have many members revive and join this group....its a short project and a great way to learn this important skill. Please do also click on the other tabs above in this group area where the "tutorials" and "how to join the group" info are posted. Chuck
  4. There is only one way to find out....give it a try. The proof is in the pudding. Why not just make some and post pics of your results. Any thread has the potential to be very good. But the only way to know for sure is to give it a try.
  5. That looks so much better !!! Nice fix. Just slow down and take your time with each step. With the planking especially....each strake is its own project. Bend and twist them until you get a good fit. No gaps!!! Chuck
  6. Very nice work. Good to see a rudder not too far away from the stern post. Nice!!!
  7. Honestly i dont recommend them for the deck at all. I would stick to to smallish size treenails for the hull using a #77 or even #78 drill bit.
  8. That should be fixed if possible. Remove those fillers and try to reposition. That will give you fits later on. Chuck
  9. So have you started making sawdust yet? What are you working on at the moment.
  10. That looks very good. Nice right joints. Remember to protect it from dirt and keep your hands clean. This cedar can get dirty fast unless you really try hard to keep it clean and crisp.
  11. Looks great. The taper is gradual so line 2 is better. Avery gradual taper. Not an obvious one that goes quickly from thin to 1/4” thick if that makes sense.
  12. I have sanded and poly’d and sanded and poly’d many times over. It will be fine. But to protect the stem at this point. You might consider covering it with protective painters tape. Something low tack to stop it from getting dirty and dented and scratched.
