'Bout time you showed up with the popcorn Sjors!!! Sorry to hear that the medical situation is slowing you down Jesse. But as Augie said, we'll all be here ready and waiting for you when you're ready to go again. And now we have Sjors's popcorn to keep us going while we wait.- 1,306 replies

Only just found your log MaryO, and you have completed the build. It looks like you did a great job on it and received plenty of helpful advice along the way. The end result looks fabulous and you can be very proud of your achievement. Well done! Best wishes for your next build. With your approach to learning and developing new skills as you go, I'm sure it will be equally enjoyable for you, and will achieve an equally good end result.

Looks like this will be an interesting build Jerry, and as you say, something a little different from the usual. I'll pull up chair and follow along too.

Your crew members are fantastic Daniel - very life-like. It's hard to remember, looking at the photos, just how tiny these actually are! Well done, Sir!

Cathead, That's great news about your new reference source, despite the re-work required. Regarding your question about viewing internals - have you considered cutting out some "viewing ports" in the same manner that EdT has done with his Young America build?
-
Nice catch Danny, and beautifully executed. Glad to hear you enjoyed your "bonus" couple of days on the model.
-
Congrats on reaching another milestone Sjors. She's looking fabulous.

I know Steve, and I know what's in the deliveries too............. ;) :)

Only you will know what's good enough Mark. The rest of us will just sit back and admire whatever that is!

Nice work Steve. I think I'm almost as excited as you are about your pending toy delivery!

Hi Bob, I stumbled across this log just recently and have enjoyed catching up with your progress to date. It looks like a really nice kit of an unusual subject and you've been doing an excellent job with it. I look forward to following along the rest of the way now. I might even have to add one of these to my ever-growing stash of future builds.

Now you can't ask for a better reference photo than that Stuart! Looks like you were right all along!!!

Thanks for the additional info and pictures using the duplicator Mark. A job very well done, if somewhat tedious!

Hi George and welcome to MSW. Thank you for your kind words about my Victory build. You should have enough of the wood strips - at least, I don't remember running out. If you do, it's pretty ease to buy more timber strips - there are plenty of places to obtain that from (Cornwall Model Boats in the UK is a good source). As for rigging line, I replaced most of the kit supplied rigging line with stuff from the Syren Ship Model Company (link on the home page of this site). Chuck's rigging line really is second to none. His blocks are also the best - I made my own, but I had the equipment to do it, and Chuck taught me how. Best wishes for your build and if I can be of any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Nicely done Jay. Think I'll follow along with this one - should be an interesting build.

Congratulations on a fine build Dan. She looks lovely on her mounting base.

You really seem to be a natural for this Ken. All that previous experience in other forms of modelling, coupled with your inherent ingenuity, are really coming to the fore.

Ah........ Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? And always 20/20 vision! Though I'm not sure just how difficult that might have proved with all those curves. Never mind though Stuart, I'm sure that with the skill you've applied to date, it will look stunning regardless.
