  1. Alan, Thank you very much! The main structure of all six secondary turrets are done: I need to clean them up, paint them all and make/add ladders & railings. These have been very slow going. Each of those turrets will have about fifty pieces each when complete. That makes for approximately 300 pieces between the six turrets. That’s just part of these models though. I am enjoying this build very much! It is a good challenge!
  2. Jeff, The Baltimore turned out great! I agree about most card model instructions leaving a lot open to interpretation. I have been coating both sides of a card model with sealant (the generic Folk Art variety from Hobby Lobby or Michael’s) prior to cutting anything out. That saves a LOT of aggravation with small/intricate parts delaminating.

  4. Bob, That looks like the figurehead on the Golden Hinde replica in London. Your Golden Hinde is looking great! Also, I’m glad to hear that your arm is feeling better!
  5. I have made more progress on the secondary battery: And here they are now: I discovered a series of games called “Bioshock” and played them all the way through. I greatly enjoy the steampunk and diesel punk genres of science fiction. I think that is closely related to why I like ironclads, transition era warships and predreadnoughts so much.
