  1. Jack, I found your log today and will follow your build with great interest.
  2. Dan, really nice progress on your masts. It's allways a pleasure to follow your fantastic log.
  3. @Rich, I fixed the broken picture links. Hopefully all pictures are now visible again. @all Sorry that I didn't make an update for a long time. Sometimes real life lets not really time for modelbuilding. In the moment I am waiting for the original plan of the Rattlesnake which I ordered at the NMM. There are a lot of details where I am not happy with my design which I made on basis of the AotS book. Last year I traced the lines as described in an article of the MSW database. But meanwhile I learned a lot about doing an new reconstruction on basis of an original drawing. This I will try to do for the cutter after the original drawing arrived. Perhaps one of our admins can change scale in the title, because I like to build the model in 1/32. The bigger scale gives me a lot more possibilities for makeing the klinker planking. At last I have a question: Roger Cole refers in his article about his model on an article which was published in Nautical Research Journal Vol 29, Number 4 December 1983: Kingman, Irving H: Modeling HMB Cutter Alert - 1777. Perhaps someone can help me with a copy. Thanks.
  4. Dan, the pictures of your fly are just outstanding. Really really beautyful Christian
  5. The stove and the cabinet are looking really nice. Perhaps the cement joints are a little bit to thick.
  6. Very interesting build. I will follow with great interest. I have the Romero PRcaticum and the drawings of Portia Takakjian. Where can i find the prcaticum of Gene?
  7. Thanks for the drawings. It's a nice addition for my full hull model.
  8. Wow, that's one of the most impressive coppered hulls, I've seen. Didn't you be afarid of damaging the wonderful painting by glueing the hull together?
  9. As I've written before. Congrats to a wonderful model. Which height and width has your display case? I think, that my full hull build will need a lot of spcae.
  10. Congrats to this wonderful section model. I like the changes you made to the original MSW design. Will you give the complete model a try?
  11. What kind of timber did you use for your build? Your section is looking really good.
  12. Really wonderful Evan. If I ever will build my kit, I will use your build as guidline.
  13. It depends on the set of drawings you got from the NMM. I have an old copy which has some discrepances to the MSW design of all double framws. Last year I bought a new color copy of the as built drawing at the NMM. This drawing fits really well with the MSW drawings For a "single frame build" you have to draw all cant frames by yourselve. These won't work with the original ship. For the midship frames I think it's possible to use the MSW drawings. At which frame it makes sense to draw new frames I can't say in the moment. Last weekend I started with redrawing the lines. Then I will check which frames I need to redraw to build the model as I dream from the beginning of the community project. I don't know how much time I need but I hope that I have the first results until the end of the year.
  14. Jonny, welcome on the Triton shipyard. Have a lot of fun with your build
