Keith you have done a fine job on the boat, your Bligh looks great also.

I feel like I've learned more in the year and a half since finding this site than in my decades of ship modeling that passed before. I'm very pleased that I can help others.
Dave your sentiments about this site are no doubt shared by many including myself.
Dave those cleats are simply amazing, as is the rest of the model and the rigging is remarkable.

Very Nice Pete, that green on e could cause drooling symptoms.

For those who haven't done this before make sure the sandpaper (rubber cemented on) does not extend to the opposite port
Regarding the sanding sticks, I have found that double sided tape is much easier than rubber cement.
Nice work on the workbench Remco, Pebbles looks like a real charmer.

Your HM launch is looking good and the lion's heads are coming along, I had the same issues with mine...I ended up hitting them with a flat clear.
Lions heads....is that what they are? I though that they were raspberries that had been out in the sun too long.
Very nice work on the little boats Denis

plating looks great Nenad.
There is an error in the link http://mcjazz.f2s.com/ClipperShipPlans.htm I get a page not found error.
No dont worry now that i cut and pasted it it seems to work, that is strange.

Nice work on the cutter Steve. I like the bead idea I wonder if you were to give a slight pinch in the tube below the bead and a slight peening at the end whether you could use the same bead but have it as a swiveling fit instead of a glued one?
Great Idea with the sprig Gerry.

Ed I have run out of words, and just enjoy following along.

The method that you are using for laying out the angles for the chain plates makes a lot of sense Nils.

Bob, Pete, David, Row, John, Thanks for looking in and for all the likes.
I have been a little quiet on the cutter this last month, I do however think about what to finish next just about every day, and now that I am going to be home again full time I will be able to get more done.(I finished helping my friend build his house) The one thing that is bugging me is the proper painting of the hull, and all the different bits of rigging that need to be finished.
I will have to remove the mast and rigging in order to flip the hull for painting and that will definitely be done within the next month while it is warm.

Looking good Denis!

just catching up , Grant your metal work on the bollards looks great and the rest of the metal work is very clean and well executed. The locating pins on the bottom of the copper ring, is something I would not have thought of, because I would have machined it out of solid. That is what I enjoy so much about this site, all the innovative and creative ways to accomplish the same task. Those joggled planks really do look amazing.

Bob I have run into the same problem occasionally and found that using a drawing program to trace manually better in the long run, than using the trace utility than the pain of correcting of all the points that have been mentioned in the conversion process.
The added advantage of manually being that one can leave off irrelevant data (smudges etc) and work immediately in layers as you draw.
But my drawing technology is older than what is available these days.

John it is great to see the hull out of the jig, the lines look really sweet, a fine delicate piece of workmanship.
