Andy - your log seems to attract this type of creatures. -
Aha! The fight against spiling has finally ended!! I know you will be much happier with your planking results by learning this important technique, we all have to at some point if we are to get better. Ben

Wow - now that Chock is Tiny, I hope the carpet monster doesnt eat it! ben

Hi Ryland - Glad to see you are reposting your log, I think Chuck just moved mine into this forum as well so we are all a big happy family again! ben
-
Chuck and Toni - I also broke the stempiece and just left it off until planking was complete, its so fragile i dont know if it can be helped, especially the way the wood grain runs. ben

Hi jason, Yeh - the model expo paints are not very good, Id go back to the Valjeo paints if i was you, Myself I use Newton&Windsor Galleria Acrylics and i paint them on VERY thin, pretty much just a wash, but many many coats with sanding inbetween, I think the titanium white that I used on the hull had about 15 coats over a weeks period. Looking forward to seeing more. ben

Hi Rusty, Everything looks great but I do have a question about something in one of the pics and I dont have a set of the plans to see if its correct. Is something missing? ben
-
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
