Looking Good there Floyd - I still havent found the old HDD with my old pics, I'll have to get the Admirial onto it, she can find anything! ben -
Grant - Congrats on finishing the ratlines, a major milestone in any build, and it all looks superb, very well done my friend. Can't wait to see the next update and post lots of pics for you know who... Ben

Wow - that is gonna be a Whopper! Are you going to build entirely from that cherry or has an order been put into our friend Jeff? BTW I just ordered some 1/16 boxwood to make the Confeds double beaded moldings - couldn't get a decent result with the basswood. Ben

I would suggest the Syren from model shipways, plenty of logs here on MSW to look at, superb design and instructions from Chuck who is the Administrator of this site. Quality of parts and backup support from MS is superb. It would also be a good step up from where you are now. Ben

Sweet work there Andy, ahhh the joys of rigging, I'm sure you will do a first rate job like the rest of the build. Just keep posting photos for Sjors to keep him sane. Ben
-
Simply fantastic there Augie, well done reaching that milestone, you must be very proud on how she has worked out. Chuck must feel like a proud father with such a beautiful example of his design being built. Ben
-
Got to agree with the others, love the display base, very artistic idea, may use that one in the future if you don't mind. Ben
-
Wow, your wife is a hell of a good painter, nice idea leaving some of the hull unplanked, haven't seen that before on this kit. Ben
-
Damn Rusty, you've started already? I'll be watching with interest! Ben
-
Hey Gaetan - Yep that was the photo - friggin awesome. I showed it to a buddy of mine and he couldnt believe it. Look forward to more of your amazing work. ben
-
Amazing Blocks there Remco, the shape looks excellent - wish I could achieve that level. ben
-
Sweet Paul, enjoy the extra modelling time, I will look forward to the results. ben
-
Hi Mobbsie, Yep - She's a big un alright, how long have you been planking the hull for? My confed took me 6 months! It will be great to see you reach that milestone. ben
-
Very nice Yves, your doing a great job there on an interesting model. ben
-
Ooooohh! That really looks superb rusty, Everything looking very precise, at that boxwood is the nuts! Did you spend a lot of time on that knee, looks like fun to get the shape just right and the steps against the hull planking. Ben
-
Hi Toni, Sorry if youve already answered this but what material are those 2100 treenail made from? Bamboo? Beautiful work and thanks for doing such a detailed rebuild of your log. ben
-
Scott, got to agree with the others, a superb kit with very good instructions. And you can chat with the designer Chuck Passaro right here on MSW as he is one of the Admins, ask all the questions you can but Im sure you wont be dissapointed. ben
-
Hi jason and very well done up to now, your motoring right along. I do have a question on what you are using for paint? the ME paint that was optional? looks like it was going on a bit thick, maybe try thinning it down but adding more coats, may give better results. ben
-
I will wait for updates man.
-
These things are bound to happen when you have a lot of rigging to do, love the fix! I think I have made more mistakes on the Confeds stern than you have made on your entire rigging :-) Ben

USF Confederacy by Rustyj - FINISHED

Sorry rusty for posting stuff on your log. Yves - Chuck is an extremely busy guy, he runs and looks after this site god bless him, he always goes out of his way to help anyone, we can ask and expect NO more from him!!! If HE chooses to do above and beyond, which he usually does, then great. But he is not a manufacturer! He maybe covers his costs but I doubt that as well. Please respect the work that he does designing the best kits on the market IMHO. Chuck - thank you, your a steely eyed missile man. Ben -

Hi, I will take some pics of the other castings and post them, If I remember right they were not as bad as the figurehead ( absolute crap ), but nowhere near as nice as the resin ones that Chuck did - wish he would make some more ( pretty please ) . ben- 149 replies
