Hello Ken, I've been following your build (which is coming along beautifully ) and decided to take a peak at some of your other completed models online. I found your work on craftsmanshipmuseum.com and I am beyond impressed. Your models are simply stunning. Your Sopwith Camel and Model T are jaw dropping. I look forward to seeing this build progress. Gary

Hello Maury, Just catching up on your build and I think you're doing a beautiful job. Very nice indeed. I agree with your call on the mast partner. Although I liked the first version, your second version has much greater visual interest - it will be an eye catcher. Nicely crafted too. Gary

Well it doesn't look "pretty rough" to me Patrick - it looks pretty darn nice. So tiny, intricate and crisp. I'm curious - are you using a mix of materials? Some card stock, some styrene? Keep the photos coming. Gary

Very ingenious Steamschooner - I'm going to file that away. Gary -
Hello Mike That really is some complex joinery at the corners - but I have no doubt you will execute it well. It echoes and forwards the joinery in your model. Your ship is looking terrific by the way. Good luck on the display case. Gary
