Came upon your log and am learning quite a bit.

Wonderful saves and techniques.

I have done this in the past and then used a batten to get visual of the line. The bulkheads are usually close enough to get a good result.

Shaping up nicely Dave. Shame your stove will be hidden by all the beams.

David B

I just came upon your log. You have done a great job. Kudos to the research you have done.

Nice paint job 

David B

Fantastic work Mobsy. Now all you need is a case.

David B

Looking good Patrick

Job well Ed. But I echo the rest that it would have been safer using a saw with a jig. Open blades like that scare the day lights out of me.

David B

An ingenius way to mass produce a difficult part. Well done.

David B

Beautiful work.

What I like is several of these authors are kindle ready. More convenient and less money.

Congratulation Brian. Your AVS really deserved it. I have been lucky to attend some IPMS shows in Chicago and the level of

quality can be pretty high. I saw a model of the IJN Fuso done in card and was blown away. I met the builder and shamelessly tried to get him to come to a club meeting. Needless to say your AVS out shined the rest of the pack. Pat yourself on the back. Your model is beautiful and deserved it. To bad you do not live close so I can see it shine at the show in Manitowoc WI

Congratulations Peter your rigging is coming along nicely and the rest looks good as well.

David B

Came across your log Krill nice work you have done the hull is splendid along with the rigging.

David B

Just give it your all Andy, and use it to hone your skills.  The end result will look good.

David B

You are coming along fine Tony.  Using Maple for your frames was a smart move.  A bit of advice for your next model. When gluing futocks together they were connected with a shaped piece called a chock.  This adds more strength to the joint.  You are doing a great job.

Alexander Kent is good.  I have read almost all of his books.  A great way to learn how the British navy operated in the past.

David B

I went through your log Albert and am astounded by your craftsmanship. Your carving is first rate.  Did you use a moto tool or chisels.?

David B

Nicely done Rob.  Keep it up.

David B

Your Connie is  looking good. How are you going to finish it?

David B

Every time I look in I learn something new.  Making those badges was really thing outside the box.

David B

Having enough tools is great but the main problem is do you have room for everything.

David B

I echo the above sentiments Ken.  You have done a wonderful job.  Your model of the Niagara is first rate.  You have done her justice.

David B

looking good Jesse.

David B

Looks like the real thing Greg.
