Hey Augie, 30% golden oak for the upper works is what I used and it will make a contrast with un stained lower planking, you won't really see it until you totally complete the lower planking. Look forward to seeing your progress next year, I hope to start modeling again in January when I finish rebuilding the workshop. Ben- 2,191 replies

As others have said, very nice stern lights! I had a lot of fun with mine on the Confederacy getting the fit just right. Ben

Hi Augie, very nice indeed sir! As Rusty pointed out your run looks very good, reminds me of some great times on mine. I look forward to seeing what you decide to paint and how your treenails turn out. Ben

Hi bill, good to see you starting. I have to agree about flattening out the bulkhead former before doing anything else as per alistair, I have found that soaking the ply in water and then drying out over a day or so works well, just don't soak the ply to long as the glue between the plys will make it come apart. Whatever way you decide to do it, just make sure the former is perfectly strait or you will be in for trouble. Look forward to watching your build. Ben

Sweet Gary! It is a shame to cover that great framing, but she's a man'o'war! Captains choice! Ben

Vol 2 of Niaad is as good as if not better than Vol 1, and that's saying something. Thanks Ed and seawatch for creating this. Ben

I knew you would redo them Danny, you are too good to let something like that get by! I look forward to seeing the new version. Ben

She's very beautiful Greg, framing is awesome. Ben

Nice work on the knee fitting Rusty. Ben

Optivisor is very good, glass lenses and you can get an led light adaptor. I have a couple of cheap plastic lens ones but not as comfortable or good as the optivisor. eBay and Amazon always have them. Ben

I shall follow along with your new build Andy. Ben

Hey Ron, Really enjoyed your how to make a capstan dialog and photos, always helpful to see how somebody else thinks and goes about doing something like that. Ben
