Sad news Paul. You should post some pictures of your Lady Nelson to see where you are at. There are some excellent logs for the LN on MSN, follow a few of those and you be on your way to getting her done. Good luck on your journey,   

Hi Peter, those pins usually  don't come with the kits. This is what I use

Headless pin nails. They do make it stronger, if you just glue them on a slight knock will knock them off. Hope it helps.

Good luck on your journey #2, remember to ware your mask 😷  when char removing 😁. I found if I used the back side of my 10 blade first  sanding was quicker. But it is slow steady work. Good luck

David, I looked at a lot of St. Roch builds today the ones that look the best are just in line with the portholes. I even went to the Vancouver Museum web site, their St. Roch portholes are even with the rubbing stake. I think they look good.

 Can we lower the rubbing stake   just a bit or do you have to raise the portholes.

I would go for a little tidier than accuarcy but I am a newbie lol. 

You can count on our prays for sure Keith, stay strong my friend we are all with you.

 This is the place to be,  always nice to see a fellow Manitobin. So many people here will help you along the way . You'll sea!!

Glen that is awesome.  I had to stop cleaning the shipyard and go show the First Mate . I should be back modeling in 4 or 5 weeks . She said to tell you " your so talented " and she agrees with all of us what an amazing build. Can't wait to see you top this ,but you will lol. 

 Great job.
