Hi Bob!  I just completed a workshop with David Anscherl and Greg Herbert on headworks.  I have a new appreciation for how complicated the work in that area is.  Once again, well done!

Beautiful job on the head works, Bob.

Great job on the rigging so far,David.  First rate!

The Fair American (MS) is 1:48 scale;  the Rattlesnake (MS) is 1:64 scale.  If the Rattler were in 1:48 scale, it would be 1/3 again as long as it is in 1:64 - clearly the larger vessel.

The problem is that the Fair American is a model of a model...original plans for the vessel don't exist, so some speculation may have been involved.

Great job on those hawse timbers!

Beautiful job, Michael!  Nice case too!

Amazing work!  The interior shot is awesome...so real.  I can't wait to see more!

Excellent work, Bob!

That looks great, Elijah.  Very nice job!

Great job, JP!

Magnificent job on the transom, Bob.  Really beautiful.  It makes me want to start my Lauck Street Halifax!

Outstanding, David!  VERY nice work!

Good progress.  I can't wait to see more.

Beautiful job,, Ken.  Extraordinary.

This scale certainly provides some challenges.

Great innovation on the catheads!  I'll file this away for future reference.  👍

Good progress!

Nice work, Jon!  I like your technique for making cleats.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Here's the current status of this build.  All the deck furniture has been glued in place except the tiller, which hasn't got any poly yet either.  I just completed the railings, and I still have to build the cannon carriages, swivel guns and swivel gun supports before I start rigging.  The masts and sprit are just sitting in place.

Amazing work.  Are the spacers permanent or temporary?  How did you fasten them in place?

Beautiful job!  I especially like the binnacle/companionway!

Very nicely done, Michael.  I like the new stand.

Glad you weathered the storm, Bob.

Nice laser work.  Those parts should really enhance the model.  Keep up the good work!
