Thanks so much for making these available! I have the mylar plans, but these digital images will be a nice quick reference! Thanks again! hamilton -
So it goes....some nice items here at very good prices....

I have this kit under my bench and am looking forward to following your progress on the build - such a beautiful ship - you're off to a great start....also assuming from the previous post that you're back home and all is well! I hope so. Stay safe and bye for now hamilton

Dumb question - does not shipping internationally include Canada? I would be willing to transfer postage costs in addition to the cost of a few of these items if you would be willing to ship north of the border.... hamilton

Just catching up with your build, WG - she's looking really great! Nice going! hamilton

Thanks for the clarification Druxey - these distinctions are good to know! I'm thinking of English vessels of the early 18th century (1719-1745). Thanks again hamilton

This question has probably been posed and answered elsewhere, but after a few searches I came up dry, so I'll ask here - would hatches & gratings have been rounded down to match the camber of the relevant decks? Thanks in advance for any guidance here! hamilton

Great work on the Bellona Harlequin - despite what you've said about "errors" - I think that the overall feel of the model allows these to fade into the background and (as you suggest) define the personality of your build. Glad you stuck with it! Question - is that your deck in the background of the first shot of the finished model? I used to skate when I was younger, but now have trouble doing basic things on my kid's board. Fortunately he hasn't taken to it much yet so I can still appear to be a useful teacher.... hamilton

Great work Harlequin - quick question - how did you get the snaking done without distorting the forestay and preventer stay? I tried snaking on the Blandford but removed it because I couldn't figure out how to add it without it pulling up on the stays and spoiling their run..... hamilton

She's looking really great - clean and precise! Very well done hamilton

Very interesting Gregory: I built the old Mamoli version of this kit years ago, and I can see that the Dusek version has made some significant changes - most of which (especially the laser carved wood parts) seem to be an improvement. A fun little ship to build for sure and I look forward to following you the second time around! hamilton

Amazing work on the anchors, Ron! I don't think I would have gone past thinking about it and then ordering something "good enough" from somewhere. It's this level of dedication to your build that makes this one a favourite! hamilton
-
Great work OC - I just looked through your log with my young son, with whom I've been watching these movies - he loved it and I did too! Congrats! hamilton
-
I think it's already catching on! I don't doubt that we're all going to get to that place at one time or another during this insane time! hamilton

Wow - nice shot here Harlequin! I'm itching to get back to building - especially as the COVID situation continues....unfortunately, I have a mountain of work to get through before I can get back to the "bench" (i.e., dining room table)....hope you're all well over there! hamilton

So it has been a very long time since I've made progress with this build...I am hoping that with the coming of spring this year, I will find time to return to this build and to my Syren, which has also been languishing. I mentioned somewhere else that I injured my finger pretty badly while working on Syren several years ago, and since then my modelling progress has diminished - a product also of having a growing family, a demanding work schedule, and many other demands on my attention. In an attempt to bootstrap myself back into modelling I started yet another project, which I won't announce yet here until it picks up more steam. But I've reached a stage on that project where it has good legs, and now I feel like it would be wrong to continue with it until I've picked up with Bluenose and Syren. I'm hoping that, even though this log has been languishing, that the good moderators of MSW will not weed it out..... hamilton

This looks like a really nice kit - looking forward to seeing how it builds up in your hands hamilton

Man, that is some beautiful, precise and clean work! A joy to behold! hamilton

Great to see your progress on this build - always one of my MSW favourites! hamilton

Looks great so far - I like Mamoli's redesigned box, too! You seem to be dealing with some of the same issues I confronted with this kit, but though I found it occasionally frustrating, it's probably no more so than some other kits, and overall I thought this was a very fun kit to build - it's coming out nicely for you in any case. hamilton
