  1. Greetings, I finally had the time to work the photos I took of the Deck Edge assembly. First two of views are of the overall hull with the Deck Edge being glued from the stern forward to the bow. Cheers, Tim
  2. Jean-Pierre, I din't read Russian, but this a close match of the kit you were looking at. The model is of a Dutch Botter, they were built the early1900's. The Dutch used botters, flat bottomed sail boats, as barges in the canals and the North Sea. They mostly fishing boat however they also carried cargo. The cargo they carried acted as the ballast. Running aground or having the tide go out was not an issue with the flat bottom. These boats have round, daggerboards mounted to each side of the boat. For their day they pointed well and could out sail the galleons of the era. Hope this gives you some background. They are neet little sailing craft! Artesania Latina has a 1/35th kit. http://design.mfpilot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1807 Cheers, Tim
  3. Wayne, I have a friend who built this model a few years back. It's really a nice kit. I believe you will to be very pleased with it. You have a shipyard overseer, they can be reasoned with at times. I happen to fall under an Fleet Admiral, and it's much harder to negotiate terms with them. Looking forward to seeing this one take shape! Cheers, Tim
  4. Alfons, I look forward to watching your log also. I really like your deck work, you aree doing a fine job! How do you like the BlueJacket kit? Tim
  5. Ryland, Very, very, nice work! Also your photography really does your build log great justice. Keep them coming. Tim
  6. I have to say, I'm really enjoy watching your progress, you do outstanding work. As the others have commented before me, she looks like she could be the REAL thing. Cheers, Tim
  7. Stunning workmanship, I didn't have any idea what was involved in building a cross section model... I look forward to following your build! Tim
  8. Ryland, It's great to see your build back on MSW.... You still have to finish this kit before you can start the Civil War Picket Boat. Sorry, rules are rules and in your case not meant to be broken! This, is still my favorite of all your Admiralty model kits. Tim
  9. Hi Chris, Beautiful workmanship, you're doing a splendid job. Will be watching your progress. Keep the photos coming! Tim
  10. Jean-Pierre, I did some looking without any luck! Have you thought about checking your History Tab on your browser? You may get lucky and find it there! Tim
  11. Hank, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this build. Keep the photos coming! Cheers, Tim
  12. Outstanding doesn't come close to describing your work! I'll be following this bulid closely. Tim
  13. Outstanding work! I don't know if I would be able to work on anything that small. Tim
  14. Really looks good Dave, I look forward to seeing your progress in person at the April meeting. Tim
  15. Hey Dave, You will have to wait until the April meeting, as you recall the next meeting is the auction. I did plan on going to Cabin Fever in April but I think that's off for this year. I'll be sure to bring the PT to the April meeting! Tim
  16. Tonight I was able to attach the port and starboard deck edges. It was a little tricky applying CA glue to 1/16 x 1/16" deck edges, as you know this isn't a very wide area. I applied glue to about an inch of deck edge at a time, then I positioned it and held it until it set, about 15 to 20 seconds. Photos to follow in a day or two! Tim
  17. Ray, Sure looks like you are off to a good start, thisk I'll set back and watch yout progress! Tim
