Nicely done,  Congratulations   

Some awesome work my friend. 

Awesome work,  Congratulations    

Very nicely done my friend,  the  Amber Shellac will really make a difference,  can't wait to see it. Your attention to details is paying off big time, the boat looks amazing.       

Those look relly good!! Are you still interested in the barter system,  20 cannons for 20 pounds lol, great cannons my friend. Ok ,I will go as high as 30 lbs for 20    

Welcome to MSW, it's the place to be!!!

Congratulations , well done my friend. 

Planking has begun,  lol

Yes I reread the Linning off your hull by  @Chuck in the article data base,  and almost got this time. It is hard to do with out understanding math, reading better would help to , lol.

 But the planks are on  the port side.

I have some slight damage to the bow below the water line , it was done by clamps that were way to tight, it will be covered by the copper  . On a positive note,  my ship doesn't rattle yet lol.

 So on to the starboard side, one more try at getting it right .

I did change the yellow, from old English  ochre to Bright yellow, the first Mate says it looks better. Time will tell.

 I can't thank everyone enough for all the help I have been getting.  With out NRG and MSW  I would be lost.  

 I am deciding on how to proceed with the  copper. Some paint the hull copper below the water line,  to hide caps in the copper plates, more   Research is needed . They say a coat of paint covets a multitude  of mistakes, I am hoping that the copper covers  all of mine . It will be a week or so before I start  coppering,  so I have lots of time.

 Captain Marvin says" time to plank  the starboard side,  get it right this time or I am going to jump ship and join @Glen McGuire crew, where they are havin a BBQ,  Beer and Burgers  celebrating his fine competition  of his build.

So long my friends  talk soon    

Welcome to MSW, this is the place to be. @Katsumoto just finished  a Cazador it is amazing. Yes, start a log for your Cazador and you'll see that lots of people here will help, if  you want it.

 Best of luck on your new journey   

Congratulations  very nicely done,  and the details are really amazing. I could put a wow on every post simply  beautiful work.

More wows  lol   

Can't wait to see the finished pictures,  wow do you do some nice work my friend. As I follow along on your SIB , they get more and more adventureres and amazing  . One can't help but imagine what  you will come up next to top this sensational  build.  Congratulations  it's     

BEER time, 

You know Glen, if you need to muddy the shore a bit you could use some of that cows nervousness , or Sacred Scowts Scat, because we can't use the B word lol.

Just fling it over, it should stick to anything  lol. 

  Did you know Christopher Columbus  brought  the start of the Texas Long Horn cattle  when he came to America the second time  in 1493? Who knew , Spanish Longhorns . Lol.

 Your work is so amazing my friend. 

Nicely done, Congratulations 

Well done!! Here I thought your next post would be a Diorama with one of the clamps with a robe walking on the water. Lol

 Great job my friend,  throw a coat of amber shellac on it , it will shine.

   I think you're having way more fun then I did, lol but that's what it's all about.   Great job, thanks for posting, the First Mate  wants to know which one is Jesus.     

Hello, Welcome to MSW  , this is the place to be , it has it all . Which ships are you interested in? There are so many people here who will go out of their way to help you,  Welcome aboard!!! 

This is the place to be my friend.  Lots of great  info on planking in the MSW data base.  welcome aboard!!    

I think you pulled off another excellent build. The wave at the front sounds good, to hide the support. Would the ship be moving  pretty fast , ramming speed?. There would be a  larger wave, with lots of foam at the front. But who I am I to tell the master of masterpieces what he should  do. Lol.    It is looking truly epical, as always.    

Simply an amazing amount of detailed work, the figures bring the ship alive. Congratulations  well done.   

Thank you so much, @allanyed, I sent this info to my good friend  @Gabek. And based on the info, he made me 20 cannons that when fully rigged will look marvelous.  The right size and shape, Thank you both, can't go wrong with friends like you guys.    

PS  I only have volume lll of TFFM, lol.
