    Magnificent. Where did you find the set. Those parts would be interchangeable with with almost any model built to that tiny scale. Where do you keep the workers from Lilliput that you have actually doing the work for you oh master shipwright. David B

    Good for you Gary I was scratching the Latham but it was put on hold do to health problems. You have started a nice kit. And I think you will find the model very nice when finished. Just follow the instruction book and that will help you out tremendously. And you can add a lot of detail as well. My advice is to get a copy of Chappelles American Fishing Schooners. That book will be your bible. David B

    How did you mask it off and did you airbrush or by hand? Marvelous work. David B

    Patrick your rail looks perfect and to scale. How did you straighten it out? Just stretch it or did you roll it? David B

    A detailed practicum would be a best seller. Your work is that good. I know I would add it to my library. Flawless craftsmanship and skill. Simply outstanding. David B

    Great work Daniel. Your research went well with it. I think Blackbeard would love to hijack that model if he could. Beautiful work. David B

    My jaw is dropping to the floor. Every time you post I see a new level of workmanship. David B

    Your boom jaws look great however I am wondering why you use that wood instead of the boxwood or maple. Both of those would have fit the bill just right and reactions. David B

    I am scratch building the Latham. However last year I had to stop on her do to health questions. The kit was to big for the size so I took the plans and shrunk them down to 1:96 so I cannot help you with the kit. Hoever the plans are first rate along with the book that came with it. As for the hull I made a waterline hull and carved the hull. I then planked over that.. As for your problem take each bulkhead to the plans and find and compare it to the plans and then check out its dimension and location. This might seem tedious but worth the hassle. This will tell you tell you if you are doing it right or wrong. David B

    Just look at Misty's eyes. She considers you her soul mate. And will be glad to share with you. Your Flying Fish is looking good. Keep plugging away. Your clamps are a test of patience and steady nerves. You are doing everything right. David B

    Captain your sails look great as for your sack and bread problem have you thought about using Play doh modeling clay? It might be the right thing for the job. David B

    John your hull is beautiful. David B

    Nils were you a weaver in a previo us life or an artist? David

    Lee, after seeing your work I feel like taking my model of the Benjamin W. Latham and putting it in the trash can. Outstanding work. David B

    This quandary has come up before. Kurt talked with Jim and found the easiest and safest way is to tilt the table saw so that the fence is flat to you. David B
