    Hi Jonny. Grats on the k9. Major timber chewer if I am not mistaken . She looks adorable as most puppets do. Plenty of walks and puppy training to start with. Followed by more walks. The Sherbourne is looking real good. Some really good mods made and the result is showing in the model quality. Regards Antony.

    Hi Mij. Wow big deciction to restart the model.. But it's gotta be done if you are not happy with the timber... It will always haunt you. Why not make a forward cross section with your mark 1. All the best. Antony.

    Hi Mike. You're are doing a terrific job on the Cromwell and I have learnt a lot from just reading your build log. Paying a lot of attention to detail makes for a excellent model. Super build. Regards Antony.

    Hi Jay. You are coming along very nicely with your cross section. I did a little project that covers flickering light to simulate oil or candle lights. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2806-flickering-lights/?hl=flickering Works well and a couple of others have used it. Sounds hard to do but it's a piece of cake to do.. Even with no electronics knowledge. Regards Antony.

    Hi. Will be a interesting build. My young person wants to build this model this year so I will follow your build and learn from you. Is the timber you received... You can sun bleach it if it's too dark. Just lay it in the sun and make sure it does not warp. If it's to light then you can use a wood die.. Dilute it and test it. Let it dry. And compare. Regards Antony.

    Hi Ian. Workshop heaven stocks all sorts of fine timber. http://www.workshopheaven.com/tools/Boxwood_Squares_20-25mm.html Most of the Boxwood is small in size and not very long. You could contact them ans inquire about larger sizes. Regards Antony.

    Hi E&T. Nice to you back at the tools again. That's some very nice modeling skills you got going there WOW. Wish our library had resources like that... But that's the UK for you.

    Hi Karl. I followed your last build with great interest and I shall follow this one with equal interest. Am I correct in thinking that the hull will be fixed and all the decks will slide out ??Is so how will you achieve this ? Regards Antony.

    Hello Stergios. Welcome to MSW. You have made a good start on your cross section. Making something and then deciding it is not good enough for you is good . It shows you have a goos standard of what you are trying to acheave. And making mistakes is what we all learn with. I love Pear wood. Makes very nice timber for model ship building. Will be following along with your build. Regards Antony.
