I think the flag looks great, the thickness seems just right. Single layer printed both sides would look too thin IMHO. -
Another New Guy Introduction

Pete, you can see we kept the lights on for you. Wishing you the best with your builds. -
Wow, Brian. The ships boats, covers, and tackle look great and the deck structures look amazing.
-
Glen, the hull passes through the opening without issue?

Even the Force has to sleep from time to time unless she keeps it under her pillow. Better yet, tell her you need to inspect the contents for damage as you don't want to wait till after Christmas to file a claim if something is missing or broken as it maybe too late by then. All joking aside, from experience you need to inspect the contents for missing or broken pieces now, not Christmas morning.

That's funny, Simon. I wish you luck but you know you'll fail, we mortal men don't stand a chance against the force.

They will but they have a $50.00 order minimum.

Meghan, welcome to MSW. Hopefully we'll be able to view your photo shortly and provide you with some answers.

I bought mine from Cornwall Model Boats in England but for a few you would want to buy from someone here in the US.

Ben, buy a few extra because they will occasionally shoot off into the nether regions of you work area never to be seen or heard from again.

Ben, you can use walnut stain on boxwood blocks and deadeyes. See post 294 and 297.

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

Glen, did you use up all that fine screen you bought?

I cut squares matching the port dimensions from blue tape and applied them to where I wanted the port openings to be. I then used an Exacto knife with a chisel blade (see photo) and small hammer to cut out around the tape. It's a slow process and it required a good quantity of blades but it worked. Always practice on a scrap piece of wood first.

Richard, this is the best build log for a French ship IMHO. Rigging starts on about page 48.

Brian, what a amazing build holding true to the original Cairo. On the Tennessee, how the ships boats were held in the davits seems to have been weather dependent. When the weather was fair the ships boats were uncovered and held with block and tackle. When the weather was foul the ships boats were covered and held with canvas straps.
-
Ben, I bought mine. Too many and too small to make with my meager talents. It's what you the builder are trying to accomplish with your build.
-
Mark, find that which makes you the happiest and run with it. May God grant you a healthy life and many many years of enjoying whatever brings you joy.

Halituzun, welcome to MSW. Great looking models and display. Glad to have you aboard.

Dave, it would seem you need to cut a new stern piece. The Britannia stern carving encroaches on the outside window edges which doesn't look right. Does the Britannia stern carving fit to the transom blocks without issue?
