  1. Thank you Timmo, That's make me feel happy to receive such heartening words...
  2. Hello Hamilton, They look top quality work and fit perfectly to where they belong...
  3. Yes Sir, here comes the scratch build... Maybe in future, we will follow your build carried away to the scratch... ;-) Perfect: Colors... Shape... Idea... Skill... Handling...
  4. I am so sorry to hear that, really so sad for the loss of his entire family. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for them, coming suddenly. Even if we have not seen each other, we were friends through the forum and I have really loved him, admired his generosity, optimism, politeness... He was a good man. I will really miss him. I know that nothing that I can say will make dear Suzanne and his family and them who love him, feel better at this time. It is too hard to face this sorrow. I can only pray to God for giving them the patience to be able to bear such a pain... I offer all my sincere condolences...
  5. Hello Meredith, Three shifts at your dockyard... You are doing a clean and a painstaking build...
  6. Hello Jason, I am grateful to you for stopping by and for kind words... BTW, I can easily and certainly say that your HMS Snake is really impressive...
  7. Yes... Physical age of 25... And wisdom of 56 years...
  8. Hi Sjors, The worst decision is better than hesitancy... (In fact your decision is the best regarding the situation...) Happy with your new age... Are you thinking to go on still with ship building at your 25 years old?...
  9. Ahoy J.Pett, Delighted to see you again... This is a good choice and thank you for your suggestion... Fortunately I have this book already... And unfortunately I know that I have to be patient to see any update about your build...
  10. Salute Sjors, I have hit the same problem in my build. I have resolved it by adding a piece of wood carved as the continuation of the shape and then repainted. As Robbyn says; you can add a piece of wood to the each side of the lower parts. Then you can shape these two pieces as the downward continuation of the stern thing and repaint the whole stern thing. In this way you can extend its height.
  11. Salute Augie, Your suggestion was registered...
  12. Hi Hamilton, Thank you for the kind comment. Rigging is a difficult period. The plans are not too clear to me... I try to understand the logic...
  13. It would be worthy to follow how you would solve the problem. I believe that you would handle it in perfect manner...
  14. Salute Sjors, She was more English but looks just spanish now...
  15. Thanks Eric, Meanwhile there have begun three shifts per day at your dockyard... I see many workers aboard HM Brig Badger...
  16. Suggestion from two articles...
  17. Hello Brian, The planking is looking very well... I don't understand the first question because of my weakness of English language. If I understood you correctly, it's not obligatory to use 2-part epoxy. I can say to use CA is enough to glue wood to metal strongly because there is a little space of metal to be glued. For the second question I can suggest to apply each strake separately and to begin with the uppermost strip. Then leaning closely against the first strip to plank the second strip... And leaning closely against the second strip to plank the third. As you bend the strips in a convex manner; being leaned against the previous strip, they will fastened to each other closely and follow easily the same curve...
  18. Wow Hamilton!... A lot of progress... I should have known... a long silent period then a beautiful job...
