Very neat work on the sheaves and blocks, Mobbsie, I can see that Grant, Sjors and Anja had a great time there, Sjors seems particularly pleased with his newest ship

The shrouds and stays are coming along very nicely, Popeye, excellent work!
-
Beautiful work on the gratings and cowl, Danny
-
She's looking good David, nice planking work. I'm not very familiar with Occre kits, but I would reckon it would be better to add the keel now to avoid any possible gaps in the second planking.

She's coming along nicely Augie, excellent work!

Thanks for the explanation Joss, the heavier 18-pounder armament of her class may indeed be the most plausible explanation why Amphion's gunports are closer to the 36-gun frigate specifications.
-
Hi Joss, You're doing some excellent drafting on your Amphion, she's coming along beautifully, and I'm learning a lot from your splendid work Just a small question if I may: could it be possible that the original NMM draught may have had some minor horizontal/vertical distortion thereby leading to the slight difference in it's gunport dimensions from the scantlings provided by Steel?
-
Hi Randall, Thanks for dropping by my log, as well as for the kind words. Regarding the second layer, I plan to use Swiss Pear if the gunports and the bulwarks come out acceptably
-
Hi Randall, Beautiful work Sir, she's coming along nicely, it's nice to see another full build
-
One word Borge, Sweet!
-
Beautiful carving work on the cat-head star, Danny, they look great! I'm still trying to figure out how to fake them on my little sloop.
-
Great to see you celebrating, mate, excellent work too on the stays and running rigging for the yards on the jib-boom
-
Good on you, Vitus, those copper tape will come in handy for other uses, but not this one, beautiful planking work Sir!
-
Hi Mark, I too am very sorry for your loss of a long-time friend, as the others say, time will heal the hurts my friend. Very nice fix on the keel, mate, with some wood dust magic and planking, no one will ever know it was there.
-
Thanks very much Sam, I appreciate your concern
-
Happy Birthday, Popeye, may you have many more happy birthdays to come my friend
-
Planking is looking good, David I would echo Augie's excellent advice, some filler and careful sanding should take care of any bumps. May I also suggest some additional fairing of the remaining portion of the 3rd bulkhead? This should allow the planks in that area to have a smoother curve.
