The bulkheads break easily and when you least expect it. She's looking good, good luck with the rest of them. Kenneth

I just edge-glued 1/16 planks and cut to shape and stained like the decks.

Now that the guns are in I installed the fixed gangways. The guns under the gangway are very cramped even though the measurements came off the plans. Comments welcomed. Kenneth

Nice color. Love it. Several boats at the annual wooden boat show here in Biloxi use this shade or one really close for the classics. Kenneth

Excellent Progress She looks Great

With the gun ports secured for now I've added a gun and started rigging. This rigging line supplied with the kit is very unforgiving. Can anyone show or tell how to get the rope coils that look so cool? Looking for input - Kenneth

Pyro kits do bring back memories. Your detail work and attention to detail on this scale is amazing. Kenneth

Thanks Guys for the input. Jon, I've already knocked one of the gun port covers off. I've set it aside. Kenneth

I finished the head rails. The instruction book said they are tricky little buggers and they are correct. I also painted the little dude figure head I used the admiral's craft paint then sealed him with a coat of satin varnish. Tan for the leather of his clothes, brown for his leather belt and moccasins, his flesh tone for head and hands, pewter for his tomahawk, and black for his Mohawk. I trimmed and sanded his sitting area. This is him dry fit. Let me know what you think and especially any ways I can improve. Thanks - Kenneth

We built the Pyro models and put small rocks in the hull for ballast before closing up. I didn't shoot mine because I wanted to see it go down the street at the next rain - but my brothers did.
