Impeccable work as always Alexandru - just outstanding! -
Nice to see your log back Clare. This is a really interesting build - I'm glad you've decided to re-post.

Hey Aldo - 'bout time for an update my friend! And you-know-who will be wanting pictures to go with it!

Hi Kevin, Good to hear that some of your earlier re-work is starting to pay off for you - that must be a good feeling. She's looking great!

Nice to see your update Sjors, she's looking mighty fine! Can't wait to see your start on the rigging......

Hi Ben, Nice to be here for the start of your "darkside" career. If your kit building standards are anything to go by, then we're in for a real treat with this.

Very nice work Ryland, supported by excellent photography. I have this kit in the cupboard, so it's nice to have an excellent log like yours for reference.

It's a real pleasure to look at any of your work Rusty. I don't know how you manage to keep so many on the go at once! -
Brilliant idea for the gratings Mark. I'll surely be filing that one away!
-
Looking great Mobbsie. Your "trademark" certainly adds a point of difference for you. If you like it, then stick with it - you're the Captain after all!

John, In the Mamoli kit, the "copper" plates are simulated by wood tiles which have been given a green finish. The idea is that once they have been applied to the hull and given a very light sanding, you then apply copper paint and sand that back lightly so that some of the green shows through. This gives an aged "patina" to it. I was dubious about this, but went ahead with it anyway. As you can see from the photos, it comes up pretty well in the end. Hope this helps.

Very nice Danny, and as always a great explanation of your methods.
-
Yup - what Greg said!
-
Well done Dan. The other side will be done before you know it.
-
That's really cool Gil. You're certainly setting the standard! The Gold Standard, that is!!!
-
Looking good Augie, looking real good!
-
Just stunning Nico!
-
Lovely work, as always John. She's looking a treat.

Kevin, Nice to see your build back. If you're not happy with the gunport rope work, you might like to try "splicing" them. I picked up this tip from Gil Middleton's excellent log. You use a sewing needle to thread the line through itself and create a sort of fake splice. It is actually really easy to do and looks great.

Nice going Sjors. I've consulted my crystal ball and I see ratlines in your near future - lots of them!
