And of course John, the occasional "you're doing it all wrong" from a passing 9-yr old.

Mobbsie,

Your ratlines are outstanding! Beautifully done mate.

If ever there was a modeller who under-estimated their own ability, it would be you my friend!!! I have every confidence that your traveller will turn out superbly.

Now, did you get that exercise in that we discussed the other night?

Thanks Augie,

 

Now we have to see what boxwood is in Dutch   

 

According to google translate it is "palmhout", pffffffffffffffff

Exquisite, Alex.

Good morning, Lawrence. I agree with Grant - not sure how the rigging material is in your kit, but it was like night and day compared to the stuff in my kit. I'll take a couple of pictures (using both on the Harriet- too complicated to change it all over) when I get home from Orlando on Friday.

Is it Friday yet?

Thanks for the update Joe. Enjoy your holiday and we'll look forward to the published article on your return.

I somehow suspect there is a lot more turning going on in the background than you are letting on Rusty!

Hi Sjors,

Great work on the ratlines my friend! They look super - very neat and even.

Nice job on the planking Vivian.

Seriously WOW, Rusty! Glad to hear the accountant came good

Now you're just showing off Remco! As the younger generation might say, "that's fully sick dude".

Looking forward to seeing the utensils in the drawer.

Very nice work Mobbsie, as always.  Glad to hear you're on the mend.  Hope to catch you on Skpe tomorrow.

Wonderful Doris, just wonderful! I so enjoy reading your updates - you've made my day.

That all looks fine to me Craig. Don't worry if you need to use a little filler - that has helped many a modeller in the past!

Just take your time, as you are, and ensure you keep enjoying yourself.

Nice to see an update there Sjors - that's some mighty fine looking work.

Wow Sherry, that really is looking lovely. Good job!

Nice start there oldpaperone (name???). Your keel clamp setup looks good. Are those cam cleats along the edge? Neat!

Simply beautiful work Gaetan - a joy to behold.

Nice work so far Craig. Steady as she goes!

Gil,

I can't believe you just did that!!! (says he who pulled his whole stern off )

That must have been a right bi#%£ of a job, but the difference is simply WOW!

My hat is off to you Sir (again).

And no, we never get bored with your log Gil.

Alright then! Now that Mark has finally arrived with the popcorn and drinks, I'll take a seat and follow this one too. Looks to be an interesting build Vivian. I like your ideas for improving her. I did wonder if the new windows were a little too large, but hey, you're the Captain, it's your choice!

Yup, wot he said!!!

Alex,

I remember following your beautiful build before the "great MSW crash", but it has taken me a year to find her again. What a beauty she is too! I just love the way you explain your methods - so many wonderful ideas, tips and tricks. I'm in for the long haul now - can't wait to see further updates.

That's some very clever modifications there Nigel. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

Thanks in advance Joe. I know that your tutorial will be a most welcome addition to the knowledge base.
