Just Retired and yes... another Heller Victory Builder

Fred, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. -
You're definitely not cheating. Inlay is not my cuppa on a ship as you have pictured (though you did a very nice job of it) but I think it's a great idea for the right boat/ship. A gondola comes to mind and maybe a 15th century vessel. Maybe trimming off the rope bands and only using the middle band applied around the galleries might look okay?

Perfect, Valeriy.
-
Yeah, glue marks wouldn't look natural. I thought you were talking about chipped paint and a scratch or two.
-
Eric, slight/constant scarring would have been part of Peerless's life, is it really necessary to remove the scars? You're doing a great job of building an honest boat.

IMHO, what makes the footropes look as realistic as we modelers can achieve is evenness along the yards. I notice that on the starboard side of your main main's yard the line between the stirrups droops too far down. Making the footrope lines even between stirrups and attached points will make a world of difference in appearance.

Grant, the hull and engine together looks like the bee's knees. Did you figure out the engine issues?

So cool. MCB, you never went into great detail about making the ship's boat other than "I made..." What material did you use for the cover?

I think Mr Bob lives in one of those places where any change in climate would be an improvement.

Welcome to MSW. Whatever choice you make I hope it goes well. Glad to have you aboard. -
This is as good as modeling gets, an incredibly stunning image. It's like you hit the pause button on a video. I am in awe.

It's a supportive wife that allows her husband to ripsaw the dinning room furniture for his ship modeling hobby. That table has given it's all for some beautiful hulls and is doing so again, good on ya ole table.

Ralf, it's been so long ago I can't remember how one does that, sorry. One of the moderators will respond or one of the members that know how to do that will respond. Once again, sorry I couldn't help.

Ralf, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Frank, I first thought you bought a kit of the SS Great Britain and I got all excited but alas. I wish someone would manufacture a kit of the SS Great Britain, I'd be one of the first in line to purchase it.
-
Oh, yeah, you gotta start building this thing immediately. *Keith has a chair and a bowl of popcorn and ready for the show to start.

Frank, kinda, see the below. The way I understand the explanation, it depends on how the sails are rigged whether it's a yard or spar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yard_(sailing)#:~:text=The spar at the head,the original square-rig yard.
