I'm personally glad to hear you are including a flag package and give some thought to the accuracy of the flags. I always include a set of flags on all of my models. I find its that added detail that adds a lot to the final look. I also make sure that if my boat has sails that the flags are flapping in the direction that the sails are set. A personal pet peeve of mine. Thanks for including flags! I would have had to make a set when I get the chance to build your Vanguard model of the Surprise. MIKE -

Chuck: I decided to do some more digging for that Old Masters gel stain and apparently Amazon does sell it.. and its on its way from the sunny Canadian South.. problem solved. And thanks for the finishing tip.. Im just getting my hull full planked. Finished my Woody Joe temple model and now getting the planks on the hull full steam. I will be glad to get that chapter done and move onto the stern galleries. Mike Draper

Chuck: I have been checking out paint shops here in the Yukon and we dont seem to have Old Masters in stock. Minwax seems to have gel stain on the shelf up here in abundance. Any recommendations on a match that would be close to your recommended Old Masters Fruitwood gel stain? I do like the look it gives Mike Draper

Do you want any detailed shots of the paddlewheel from the Klondike? I dont know if there are bolts or nail heads or brackets on the wheel that you want to know about. there is also another paddlewheel from another Yukon river boat that is in the front yard of a RV park that I can walk right up to...

Like Paul I bought my woody joe kits from zootoys.jp with no problems. It usually took 2 weeks to get from Japan to Canada.. and the kits are packed extremely well.. no parts banging around...

Kerry: I had the opportunity to meet Mr Tsuneki back in 2011 when I was in Japan and have since bought quite a few of the Woody Joe kits. While I have the Yamato battleship and Horyu-Ji Kondo kits waiting to be built I have completed two of their Pagoda kits -the Horyu-ji pagoda and Kofukuji Pagoda and love them. The wood is a joy to work with and while the instructions are in Japanese, the way the parts are numbered and the instructions laid out you can figure out the assembly. And I have often said to people about these kits.... if the model parts don't fit, its because you made a mistake. A total joy to complete and definitely worth the money. Thanks for passing along your article!

I agree.. especially when there are so few of these boats left intact up here.. we have one in Dawson City (the Keno) and the rest of them are in graveyards scattered along the Yukon River. In fact we had real low water levels in the Spring on the Yukon River due to a cool spring and low snow melt and the original Klondike could be seen -she broke her back some time in the 1920-30s and they built a second SS Klondike using the hardware and engines from the first one.

For those who are interested.. Parks Canada is getting some money to complete the restoration on the SS Klondike Whitehorse's historic S.S. Klondike to get a $14M makeover | CBC News

Im glad to know that Im not the only one!

Chris: I have a bad (and expensive) habit of buying monograph plans from the French Ancre website https://ancre.fr/en/ . I find the French frigates have amazing lines and design and Ancre crew do a amazing job of transposing the old plans into something a modeler can tackle. I suspect you are already familiar with them but I just wanted to let you know that there are others that also admire the lines and design of these beautiful ships.

Chris: Not to say this is gospel, the maritime museum in San Diego has a ochre colour for there guns below deck on the HMS Surprise moored at the museum. For what its worth!

I would agree with you.. all softwood.. we only grow pine, spruce, poplar and cottonwood up here... and when its green it treats the axe like a rubber ball.. MIKE
