will enjoy seeing the build here .... -
I was looking at the pdf's on getting flickering lights and the problem with getting the code for the program. anyone who wants to possibly do that may want to look at this site: http://www.cubloc.com/product/01_01cb220.php they have small chips that you can program with a version of basic and the cpu chips only cost about 30-40 usd. I have done programming in the past with some of the advanced chips and found it very easy to work with.

for a change of pace from the rigging on the bluenose I started the prep work on a bit of kit bashing. I am making the great cabin an actual cabin in the ship. so here is where I started to use the dremel tool to cut out some of the wood and then the dremel sander with 60 grid to get close to the final shape, for now I just got the center line clear.

i am getting ready / starting a build of the Fair American model shipways kit and was thinking of putting a few led lights in the great cabin. I am looking for parts and ideas on how to route the wires, batteries etc... this site has some good looking small led's that run off watch batteries. http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/3v.html 3 volt small size http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/ledlights1.html

some pictures to show some of where I am at now. Some details and overall how it's looking. also the detail picture on the foremast, I made the rings and hinge out of flat brass and a bit of brass wire as close as I could to the plans. for the smaller rings I used black construction paper in place of metal. but the larger rings are blackened brass.

Here are the first pictures of the Kit after I have done a bit of un boxing and got the major wood parts out of the laser cut billets. also I have run the cannons thru a bath in "Blacken IT". soon I will start the actual build.

it will be nice to see a different version of the model and see what's different or the same between the two.

This build is in planning at this time, should start in the next month or two. I have the kit and have checked the parts and started to prep them for building.

Most of the way done on this build, will get some photos and notes here later...
