Thanks, Sam, Pegasus is temporarily mothballed for now as I have to focus my limited shipbuilding time on Triton

I'm pleased to know the CT showed no complications, Sjors, take it easy, my friend, medicines account only half of the cure, rest and lots of fluids/juices account for the other half, and most importantly, sorry to say this, but no sawdust or exposure to paint/glue fumes for at least a month 

Thanks for dropping by, as well as the kind words, Nils, if I can get my second planking to look half as good as yours, I'll be a very happy man.

Marvelous work, Mark, Licorne's gunport alignment and wale shape look fabulous

Hi Sam,

Just catching up with your beautiful Enterprise build, wow! those modifications that you've added are excellent, I especially like your new photo-etched replacement parts, they look great!

EXTREMELY  nice progress here, Aldo.  I see only sawdust in your future ---- not BBQ's !!!!

Thanks for the good word, Augie, I appreciate it  I've been carefully reviewing how you, Syren- and Confederacy-builders frame your gunports as this seems to be the approach that I need to take with Triton, it's something completely new to me as I've been spoiled by my previous kits' pre-cut gunports

Aldo,

Just dropped in for a visit, thought I would be able to take a short stroll through your build. Now I see I am going to have to pull up a chair and hang out here for a while. Very nice wrk so far.

I have nicknamed the little model builders voice we all hear "The Gremlin", lately he has been whispering in my ear to try a scratch build one day. Right at the moment he is jumping up and down on my shoulder pointing at your build going "See! See! You too!" Thanks Aldo...... 

Sam

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the kind words, I'm pleased to know you are also planning on building this beautiful ship, come jump right in, I've seen the beautiful scratch-building you've done to your Enterprise so I'm sure you will do an excellent work with Triton

Fantastic work on both ship and case, Augie, a hearty congratulations coupled with spirited drinks are in order

Looking forward to your work on Confederacy, with the excellent work you've done to Syren, I have no doubt that you will make an equally excellent job of this excellent frigate

Stunning detail work as always, Ray, she's a real beauty

Thanks very much, Mobbsie, I appreciate the help

Wow! Beautiful work and paintjob on the decorations, my friend, they sure spruce up your Aggy

Aldo,

 

your hull is looking excellent. Really nice progress.

 

After a longer break -real life is sometimes the enemy of the spare time- I work on my drawings again.

Hi Christian,

I can fully empathize with you, my friend, life can often get in the way of our hobbies, I'm pleased to know you're back at the workshop/drawing board again. 

Looking very good, Aldo.  No barbeque but a ship!!!!!   I'm just as impressed as I can be.   I hope the typhoon missed you. Apparently it was pretty rough in some areas.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the good words and the concern my friend, I appreciate it, our locality has been quite lucky as it was not hit hard by the typhoon 

Beautiful work on the cutter, Peter, she's looking great, I really admire the amount of details that you and the other Pegasus/Fly builders are putting into your boats 

I am ashamed to confess that due to my lazy nature, I would probably use the Contemporary Swan Class Model in the link below as my excuse for not adding any boat to my ship:

Thanks, Peter, I'll return to my Pegasus once I finish planking Triton

Splendid work on the masts and rigging, Andy, Pegasus is looking great!

Have a safe trip.

Beautiful and clean detail work as always, Sjors, your San Ildefonso sure is a beautiful sight

Beautiful work on the chains, Christian, wow! that's an amazing set of books you have there

Splendid work on the blocks, Grant, they're perfect!

Enjoy your trip to Europe, my friend, don't forget to post some pics

Happy Birthday, Mike, may you have many more happy birthdays to come, my friend

Splendid work on the deck fittings and guns, Ray, Diana is growing more and more beautiful with each added detail

Hi Borge,

Marvelous amount of detail-work as always, Sir, those windows and pump look great!

Hi Frank,

Wow! Those anchors look so real, excellent weathering work, my friend, and those catheads and falls look top-notch too!

Hi Augie,

Just catching up, congratulations on finishing your Syren, Sir, she's a masterpiece!    

That looks to be the start for a very elegant looking display case too, a perfect match for an equally elegant ship 

Hi Popeye,

Beautiful work on the masts, bowsprit and rigging, my friend 

Very nice planking work, Mark, and I see that you have tamed that dreaded ebony into submission, excellent technique, Sir

Congratulations, Commodore Popeye, Sir!   Super smooth planking work, Popeye, she's a real beauty
