Mark, I would say: " Trust your gut feeling in this" As I have written so before: When in doubt, restart, if you feel it's wrong ... the same. After you have reached the point of no return - whenever that, is looking at e.g. Dan Vadas' build and his magnificent (to me) impossible redo's - you are likely to feel irritated, even when it's hidden behind an anchor or deadeyes ... -
Cristiano, I don't know about the tons, but you must have kilomters spun on here ... Looking good. I do hope it is not that famous 20:80 rule for that whould mean you still have 80% of the work to do on the rigging

Rub them Sam, rub them ...

Igor, Good save of the day. Point of no return ...? Maybe you cannot go back, but it certainly doesn't mean you cannot alter anything. Nothing is definite in your bottles I might add. Did you hire some of Lawrence's crew ....? Don't know about microsurgery ... more like wizardry ... Very well done!!!

As I recall, Borge is the Brass Master, but you are the Creative Master. I wonder ... can she take much more of your creativity ... any space left ... room for some more gadgets ... usefull tools ... finishing touches ...

That second version does look like you can hang a ship's boat with it. The first one is really fragile ... It is an enormous improvement not to say the least!!!

Another chair taken. I like the story behind the build, and I'm intregued by this type of vessels

Nils, A most wonderful build. Took me some time to get through it, but it was worth every 'page'.

Dolphyn by Jan B. - Corel - kit-bashed
cog replied to Krelis's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800
Jan, Looks sturdy enough, and I like that 'moustache' at the stern ... I had to remake the stern, and beakhead too, can't recall what I used ... some darkish wood ... luckily we've got a good wood supplier near here (Arnhem 50 Km), they can deliver most types of wood, in large or reasonably small pieces, though, probably a wee bit out of your area ... -
Mark, If it's only 2.5 feet long, you'll probably be slatting instead of planking ... Considering Sam's measurement knowledge ... 2.5 ft = 4 ft = bathtub, I wonder what the size of his house will be in reality ... Is the dustbin a version 1.0 reminder to keep yourself on your toes, I mean focused ...

Just one remark, Mobbsie, I thought liners as well as frigates bound their boats with long lines and left them to be picked up after the fight ... one: to avoid splinters from the boats scything over the deck, two: to 'motivate' the gun crews and sailors ... rather strong persuasion I would say ...

I knew it, when I read it about the reel, I just knew it ... you wouldn't stop!!! You can't ... it naggs, and you start to fret and won't be able to sleep, so you just did a rare redo ... you couldn't resist and when the reel didn't come off ... you just had to try ... now I'm curious ... where are those last pictures ... those pictures of a redone reel ..? Knowing I need to wait all day ... just to get a glimpse ... the suspence is killing me

Great work Patrick, Just caught up with your build. Small, but wonderful ... should be with a Dutch Yacht ... love the detail you've established in this build, and the interior view from the side.
