Good luck at the Vets my friend , man can you build fast,very nicely done , is an understatement WAH !!!

Looking good, if it is fuzzy, I use 400 grit sand paper or steel wool. Sand it down and re spray. Some times I use lemon oil, but be careful glue doesn't stick well to some finished surfaces. 😅

Well thanks to everyone for their ideas on the servo. As luck would have it our meat slicer broke, so I tried to fix it, it's a no go. But now have some gears and small motor for winding the rope. We will see. The first Mate dropped off these sails, all done except for the seizing, and staining of the sails in coffee. I put one one for a peek, looks good to me. Now continuing on with the shrouds and deadeyes I know , I have been doing my shrouds and deadeyes backwards, making them and tied to the mast. But It works for me, and they look even, or close enough lol. I have a few more books coming tomorrow that will help. I am trying to do modeling better as to how it supposed to be done as to how I am doing it. But happy with my progress. So here is were we are now. Lots of outside interference and building has slowed, plus a pick up of some side work that will slow me down for a month or so 🤔. Oh well, See you soon, thanks for looking

Hello, I am a newbie here at MSW, you have come across a valuable site. The people who have commented so far are Masters, They will answer any questions or lead you to the right one, all you got to do is ask. Whats the name of your ship? And if you can, start a log for your ship, Good luck on your journey and

Still in a sate of WAH!! Way cool. Check out @hollowneck, his Camilla log is fantastic, best water I have seen, my opinion, there are doing a work shop in June here at MSW on water making, but we can't wait that long can we lol. OR, use Australian ginger beer, it like water I hear. Lol 😆

Like I knew I would be in AWW but this is WAH!!

They look good from here, but like what Mike saying if it's going to haunt you for ever change it, but it's under the boat, so you won't see much. Ps modelers don't take short cuts lol.

Very nicely done!! I will be jumping over to your Cheerful log , see you there , again nicely done.

OOhh how I wish🤩. That is so cool!! Great job

To serve ,or not to serve that is the question 🤔? As I dive deeper in to my modeling journey , I want to up my game on how my models look. I wanted to try serving the lines on the Mayflower, but I had no idea what to do. So started looking for pictures, Holy it looks hard. Then I find out about server machines, ok but to get one I have to pay enormous amount of shipping. I can't get passed the First Mate, shipping is more than the machine find a better way😒. So I looked at how they used to serve lines before machines. Ya that ain't happening lol. So I decided to for go the serving on the Mayflower . But will do as much seizing as I can.. Studying rigging and moving forward, I came up with the idea to do all the shrouds, ratlines, and standing rigging first. So I broke out my third hand and started, I have four done with three on the ship, temporarily not tied on, as I want to tie both sides at the same time. So with 36 shrouds to go and all the rat lines I will be busy for awhile for sure. But I will get there lol. I t can get overwhelming rigging, but I have learnt to back off a bit, study more and come back better I hope Lol The plan is to do at least one shroud a day already two days behind schedule lol. But this is were I am at now. Thanks all for looking and helping me out. Most of all thanks for helping me learn how to build ships. So much to learn, so little time left lol. Bye for now, got some work to do lol.

Very nice job. I almost got this one last year when I lost my mind and bought 7 models. So I will follow along. Very nice work

Hello, this is the place to be, lots will help you on your journey, Good Luck !!!

Well very slow process, I have all the yardarms done and put away. Been having a hard time deciding how I wanted the ship to look. I decided to leave the plates brass because of the dark stain of the wood. Plus trying to make a plan for rigging. So between the plan and my Neanderthal writing this is what I came up with. Started the deadeyes, first of 20 on this side done . I used a line to install the plates, messered and lined it up,drill little pilot holes for the nails. Hope they line up lol. So I will be working on shrouds for awhile ,but I have the ratlines to look forward to can't wait lol 99 ratlines on the wall Sea you

Looks really good, I too hope you don't chuck it. It will grow on you, I did one for my niece . many mistakes and a few broken pieces, but when she seen it she loved it. And I was sorry to see it go. Would I do another one NO. lol But you did a great job. Was fun to follow along , Nicely Done,

It looks like your off to a great start. It will be nice to see the lights on. As for the sails you will be making your own I am sure, lots of good info on that here. And their is some really great logs for this ship here. I am not good with computers or spelling , but will follow along till I see the light .Lol. Bob M.

Hey buddy, you were one of the first who help me open my can of worm's here on MSW and have always been impressed by your work today is no exception. All I can say when your done build a bigger one I know lol Something Four feet long maybe, lol. really Impressive

The only way to stop him is to have a Penguin carcase hanging from the Kraken mouth, with a spear that some Viking poke in him. Hope this help lol

Yes Gabe definitely look at @Katsumoto log it's fantastic. I only found his log when I was almost finished my Santa Maria. His work and how he explains it was really helpful. He really made me up my game on knot tying. It shows on my Pinta. It's way better but I still got lots to learn. He is a master that's for sure. And he might be able to help you Pick up the pace lol Give'er
