Popeye and Elia,

It's 1/64 plywood alright and a pain in the backside to work with, the only good thing is the edges sand "fast" sometimes too fast.  I still need to work the overall height down just to make sure the top is level and square.

Cheers,

Tim 

Greetings,

Here are some photos from tonights work (victory), I have to say I've been pulling out what little hair I have left over these spray shields! The plywood supplied for the spray shields, is paper thin and somewhat hard to work with.  It took me three times of cutting, shaping, sanding and gluing to get them relatively close to correct.  Up to this point they have been the toughest item to get right!    

I hope to get more work in now that I've figured out the best way to work with the plywood (Cut it with a pair of scissors).

Cheers,

Tim

Fantastic!  I have to agree with druxey, rounding off the corners of the hatch would ruin your great workmanship!

Tim

Rusty,

Nedless to say, I'm looking forward to seeing the completed project.  You are doing a beautiful job on her!

Tim

 It's been a while since I've checked in on your build, I must say I have missed much!  You are doing a fantastic job and it's been a pleasure catching up on your build.  

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Michael,

It's been a while since I checked in on your build, "Looking Good"....    

I have a quick question for you!  I wos wondering if there is any reason you ended all the planks on the same bulkhead? 

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Marty,

I'll be bringing the half hull of the Atlantic.  The PT is going slow right now, I havn't been doing as much work on it as the half hull.  See you Saturday!

Tim

Hey Popeye, 

Time to add another build to the list, what's one more?  And who's counting anyway???    

Thanks for the nice words of encouragement!   

Thanks Pete, it's getting there!     

Tim

Thanks John, glad to hear you approve!    

Cheers,

Tim    

Greetings all,

With the weather the way it is here on the East coast, it sure makes for a good to work on the models.  No snow here, but from the football games on Television some ares are getting hit pretty hard.  Only rain and wind for Virginia Beach.  

Here are some photos after todays work, enjoy!

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks to all the kind words...    

Tim

Tonight was a good night, I was able to get a couple more hours work in on the Atlantic hull. She's finally beginning to take shape and look like a schooner!

Cheers,

Tim

I did manage to get a little model work in today, every little bit helps.  A few more shots to show how the work on the hull is progressing.  

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks Pete!  

Jay & John,

Thanks!  I agree she is finally begining to take shape, (Sometimes I even amaze myself). 

Unfortunatley I have to bee out of town this weekend and won't get any work done on her, with luck I'll get an update posted tonight!  Thanks again for the nice words!

Cheers,

Tim  

Michael and Elia, thank you for the encouraging words.
