Hello Mobsie,
 
I really enjoyed my time building this one! At this scale there is plenty of scope for attention to the smaller details. In fact you can make anything you like of the model, just let your imagination flow!
 
Good luck!
 
Mike.

If you didnt create it....you have no claim to it .....and you shouldnt profit from it.  If you want to use it...you must pay the person who created it or ask their permission to use it...simple rules in society.   Period
 
Unless you reach out to the creator, and make amends for not having the skills or creativity to think it up yourself.  Otherwise its no different than you breaking into my home and stealing from me.    Those people are called parasites and thieves with small brains unable to innovate on their own.   I personally loathe these self-serving, greedy individuals...
 
...and anyone who thinks otherwise because they might be too cheap to pay for the original or two lazy to ask permission....the willingness to support these parasites is just as bad.....and the law is not on their side thank heavens...at least not in this country...you could however move to China.
 
Locking this because its just going round and round.....and remember, even though we do have international members on this forum, it is based in the good ole U. S. of A.

I for one would appreciate that Mayohoo.
 
Thanks in advance,

Mobbsie,
 
I am not sure what will happen with my Surprise. I made a bad error early in the build which has led to major misalignment of the hull. 
That problem coupled with where to keep the monster when finished has stopped my decision making stone dead.
 
Good luck with your armed pinnace.

A further thanks to all those who offered advice regarding working my boxwood billets. I have confirmed the view that my wee Proxxon bandsaw is not up to the task. I had thought about buying a small bench top jointer or planer/thicknesser but for what I would be willing to pay I could not expect much in the way of quality. So I have decided to seek help from a professional joinery shop.
The irony of all this is that I used to own a quantity of man-sized  wood working machinery, though not a planer, but sold it all and re equipped with my current modellers tools.
In future I will be more careful in sourcing my timber stock size wise!
Thanks again to all who gave helpful advice.

Mike this may be a far out idea for you.  I live in Sun City, Arizona, Sun City is what is known here as a retirement Community.  That means if you are under 55 you can't live here.  As a somewhat closed Community it has several, Recreation Centers, in these centers are Gymnasiums and various hobby workshops, among them wood working shops. These shops are run by retired guys expert in woodworking, cabinet making etc. and have magnificently stocked work spaces. Virtually every wood working tool you can imagine.  I too was wrestling with whether or not to get a planer or thickness sander. Knowing it would be only occasionally used, I decided to ask the boys in the wood working shop if they would let me use theirs....they said NO, but would be glad to do whatever I needed done for me.  They said to use the equipment myself I would have to undergo a training class at $9.00/hr for 5 hrs, then pass  test first.  Had strictly t do with safety an not wanting their tools destroyed by some amateur.
Anyway, and this would have been shorter if I had just said...see if there are any retirement communities around, or check for wood working clubs.  They are all good guys just like us, but with less fingers ;o)
