  1. Thank you for the kind words! I would love to help in any way that I can, feel free to shoot me a PM or leave a comment on here---Ill always respond
  2. I am actually not sure how to create a gallery, but I would love to learn how! I have the Venetian Polacca and a Royal Caroline on deck. I may start with the Polacca since it will be a smaller build--I figure a nice segway into another large ship
  3. Thank you for following BE. Your build log was present at nearly every step....probably the most helpful reference I could have asked for
  4. Thank you Starlight! I am looking forward to seeing you complete your build as well. So far it is coming along very nicely!
  5. Completed my first wooden ship!! It is by no means perfect but I’m proud of every piece of it. I’ve learned a ton and I am a full convert to wooden vs plastic. I still have to make a base and a case at some point but that will be after we move to our new home next week. thank you to all that have left tips and words of encouragement…it has helped immensely until the next ship….. Tim
  6. Thank you for all of the likes and comments! excellent advice. I have already caught myself a few times and remade a knot here and there. It’s so easy to get excited and rush
  7. Hi all after another decent amount of time and a small sprinkle of covid at the beginning of the year, a lot of progress has been made again. I have completed all of the yard assemblies and have attached a few of them so far. I am not sure that all lines will run exactly as they should but so far it looks nice to my eye! I can see the finish line approaching. Can’t wait to see the final product sitting on my bench top happy Tuesday!
  8. Hi all its been another 2 months since I posted, but I’ve gotten a lot done! All shrouds and rat lines are completed as well as a good portion of the standing rigging. All of the backstays are unglued at the moment so that I can get behind them if needed. I am really enjoying this portion of the build so far happy new year to all. Here’s to a better 2022
  9. First post in a long time (again) but I’ve made more forward progress ! I have been able to complete the lower shrouds and ratlines as well as the Catharpins, platforms with railings, the additional masts for the lifeboat, and the forward portion of the crowsfeet. I was able to take some learning experiences from these processes to know what to do/not do for my next ship. There were some areas with the Catharpins that I just did not leave enough room to work around but the effect works just the same. I hope everyone has a happy Halloween! 🎃 Tim
  10. thanks for the congratulations and ship encouragement! I appreciate the looks. @Blue Ensignshe is very supportive of the modeling and I am very thankful for that she’s a keeper
  11. Hi all It has been quite some time since my last post. Been quite busy with other projects as well as getting engaged and planning a wedding. During this time I have still been slowly working and have made a bit of progress. I have completed some of the standing rigging including a few of the stays and the shrouds. I worked tonight on the jeer types and I’m quite satisfied with the crossing rope look. Overall I think it’s starting to come together nicely! Just wanted to share my progress have a great night Tim
  12. Thanks BE. I did go back and reference your build after your first comment and I must admit that I like the thicker method you show better, but I’ll take this as a learning experience and try the more authentic method on the next build Best Tim
  13. Good morning BE This how I interpreted the instructions based on the images on the plans. Admittedly I removed more wood than I likely should have. Is this not how this area should be? Tim
