garyshipwright got a reaction from Obormotov in MONTAÑES by Amalio
Looking outstanding Amalio. You are a lot further ahead and am still trying to get the upper deck part's made. Maybe one day I be where your at on Montanes. I just love the clean look of her and the shine of the wood. Gary

Looking good Amalio. Are you planning on installing any gun's on the upper deck. Your's are top notch and it's like looking at a real cannon? Looking forward to your next update. Gary

Hi Mark. Every one is fine and the dog's to. You are so right about this and it will take some time for the repairs. Getting the paper work done is a whole different ball game. Trying to list every thing that you have in your home is very time consuming, but having photo's of the den and the rest of the personal items does help. Never knew I had so much stuff. Thank you again. Gary

Thanks Toni. They have us in a condo at the moment and has a little semblance of normal but nothing like home that's for sure.

Thanks Alan. One of the best things to do other then photos of every thing is make sure you have enough insurance to recoup every thing you have. The best thing is 95 percent of the books was in the work shop addition. Of course I miss the 5 percent that was in the den. 😭Gary

Hi Allan and thank you. Do believe it was after the big crash. Only thing I can remember is that it was posted to give folk's a ideal of what books one may see what is out there. Some of my most important books were in the den so am trying to find them so I can claim them on the insurance. I do think I have enough info from photo's of the book's in the den but having that list just help me. Thanks again Allan. Gary

Hi every one and hope every one is doing fine. Been having a bit of bad luck going on with the house, had a little fire about a month ago and working on getting the house a make over in the up and coming month's. Hopefully we will get to move back in, in about 6 month's or so. Seems like a long time but keeping busy so the time doesn't drag on. Hoping the good crew can help me out. I posted a list of my books but I can't seem to find it and hoping some one will have come across it. Need to turn a couple of my book's in but thankfully the biggest part of the libaray is in the addition in the work shop. Thank you and will be back before you know it. Gary

John please don't feel Intimidated, we all started out very much like your self, and probably felt the same when I would ask those very same question on some ones build that to me had been doing this for a very long time. Others here have already answered some of your points but if you have any question hope over to my log and will be happy to help any way I can, not only your self but other's. Gary

Hi Steve. I have to agree with every one, she is a beautiful model and one to be proud of. Just a question good sir but how long and wide is you dock? Am wanting to build one for my Alfred but has a slip with the wall's like the Bellona has she is being built in. A little on the hard side to find measurement on them and maybe other's will have information on them as well. Gary

Hello every one. It's been awhile since I posted any thing on Montague/Alfred but wanted to get the the planking done on the Winchelsea and after 6 month's or so of building the bulkhead's and planking her in boxwood I finally went back to work on Montague/Alfred. Been slowly working on adding more beams to the upper deck. I added a few photo's of the Winchelasea and do hope you enjoy the photo's. Sorry about the delay on getting back to her. Gary

Hi Mike. In some ways I do believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but at the moment it's a very very small dot on the wall. Ok back to work and thanks for the kind word's. Gary

Thanks Hubac's she is slowly coming along and am happy to be back to work on her again. One of the most time consuming items is the cast knee's. Seems it takes me forever to get each one done but after installing them they look neat and ship shape. Thanks again Hubac's. Gary

Hi Tobias and thank you for the compliments. Yes I drafted the plans of her, the half breadth plan and then her frames from that. I also drafted the lay out of her deck lines from the shear plans. One does have to be very careful because after many years the plans have enlarge, grown and redrafting this parts, help's straighten this out. Makes her easier to build. I do thank you for your kind words.
