Welcome to MSW Alexandre! Looking forward to seeing your ship models. -
Hey Kev - I am hoping you can unlash the bow sprit gingerly, using a minimum of acetone, and not have much problem with messing up the staining you have done. Slow and steady mate! Speaking of slow and steady, I know what you mean about life not helping with ship building. However, having a job is likely going to be a good thing in the end, and while working on a tree that has fallen is not a good thing, at least it didn't do any damage to your house or car, etc. Finally, having fun with family is a great thing. Got to take things as they come at you some times. Here in NC, I have only managed to get one of the ten cannons installed in the gun ports so far....it's fiddly, and my hands are not so steady. Luckily my eyes aren't that good either, so I can't perceive the shaking so much. I'd have to say it looks pretty good all tied and glued in place, but we will have to wait and see if I can match its appearance with the other nine cannons before I get all proud of myself. At this pace, I should be done with the Granado in 2035 I believe, and I don't have a lot of reasons for being so slow other than fear of the unknown and lack of talent. Good luck and send pictures as your progress (on the build, not the tree =). Cheers! Brian

Greetings Mango, and welcome to MSW! I will be watching your build log with interest. Have fun and keep posting! -
Welcome to the MSW Forum John! We all look forward to seeing new builds and learning new things from our fellow shipwrights. Here is the US, we are particularly interested in the perspective of those on the other side of the equator, because everything works in reverse down under. Right?!? 😉

Welcome aboard John! Can't wait to see how your build progresses, especially now that there are so many differing opinions. Just have fun, and don't fret the small stuff... Hmmm, maybe you have to fret the small stuff in this hobby. So, just have fun no matter what, and solicit opinions when needed. There are a lot of expert opinions here. Cheers! Brian

Cześć Mateusz, Welcome to Model Ship World. You have done some beautiful work on your models, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more from Poland (I was in the southern half of Poland (Bukowina Tatrzańska) for a couple of weeks a few years ago and enjoyed it very much). Best regards from North Carolina. Brian

Welcome to MSW from Roanoke Island in North Carolina, I think you can see what a great group of shipwrights are onboard to help you get started. So glad to hear you will be starting a build log to share with the membership. I believe you will find everyone here is very interested in and supportive of the work of others. I look forward to hearing from your more as you start your work.... have fun! Brian

Welcome to the MSW and NRG. Glad to have you with us, and if all goes well, soon others will be learning from your builds and build logs! -
Interesting thread, because on my MacBook Pro running Chrome the banner wasn't visible. That is, it was not visible until I changed the zoom of the page. One click smaller and "thar she blows!".

Welcome to the forum, and looking forward to seeing your build(s)!! 👋 -
Nice work my good man! I agree, serving the line before seizing would have looked sweeet, but its not like the seizing alone doesn't look great. I wish I had thought of doing that, but I didn't do enough research.... Most of the time, I was just driven to see if I could finish it without breaking it in spectacular fashion. 😃 You probably already noted this, but I (for some unknown reason) used belaying pins I installed at various points for the running rigging. I thought I made some cleats and placed them on the mast and the bowsprit too....but I don't see them in this picture.... Doh. Keep up the good work Kev!
