  1. The rope work on the rustic base is a really nice touch. It complements the ship quite well. Great job, Bryan!
  2. She turned out to be a real beauty, JC. An enjoyable build to follow. Congratulations on your fine work!
  3. Fantastic work, Paul. Those silver clamps look very interesting (and useful). Not sure I've seen those before.
  4. When I saw the doe head, I thought PFC Pyle might have come home after some AWOL deer hunting. But Gabek's work undoubtedly looks a lot better that Pyle's! Regardless, that's a nice finishing touch on a very well done model. Congratulation Bob!
  5. Good to see you back at it and making more progress. Exceptional work (as usual).
  6. Pretty sure I spotted him hanging out with my longhorns. They are a bad influence. Sorry about that, Bob. Regardless, looks like you are off to a great start. Looking forward to watching this come together.
  7. Pile has been in contact with me inquiring about bottles for Bob's next project.
  8. That is so awesome, Bryan. What wonderful and well deserved sentiments expressed in the card. Hats off to you!
  9. Not that I am biased, but I think it's time for another SIB!! Your Golden Hind is a beauty. You get better and better with each build!
  10. Instead of plastic wrap, you might try wax paper. It's easier to handle than thin plastic wrap. That's what I use for similar applications. Regardless, great job on those sails, JC! They really look nice.
  11. Late to the party, but I'm here for the grand finish. Nice work so far. You've done a great job, Bob!
  12. Those barrels are tiny, indeed, and look near impossible to drill out. I use veterinary needles (intended for cattle) for my very small SIB cannon barrels. They are cheap and come in a variety of gauges/thicknesses. Something to consider if you want that hollow cannon barrel look. Although the one on deck above looks to have a bit of a taper, which the vet needles do not have.
  13. Thank you, Keith! But this SIB will not be going north. She will be making her home on a beautiful 250 acre hill country ranch about an hour west of Austin. I built this one for an old college roommate that wanted something special to give to his wife for a milestone birthday.
