 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.

Happy belated Birthday  Kevin, your ships always look so impressive,  amazing work.    

Very nice work, it's  amazing  to watch.  Some one mentioned  rocks, off to the right  side, just a few and maybe  a  few  P

elicans, floating around,  lol.  

Hi Loracs, for me , At the bottom of the page there is three little  dots that say "more" click on that. Then go to the article data base, there is all the information on how to line off your hull, and planking info.

 All you need to know about planking is there. I have been studying it for two years, just about got the hang of it , lol. 

 Good luck my friend,       

Well I got side tracked again,  lol, this time the life boat. I was getting ready to tackle the planking  and saw this  metal life boat,  so I looked at a lot of Pegasus logs, and 9 out of ten scraped the boat. 

   Well  every time you turn around on this ship you got to up grade, cannons, swivel  guns, stove, life boat, and I have to buy more blocks if it is rigged a certain  way, they don't  come with the kit. Sheees.

 Oh well, I can't keep buying  accessories,   So this is what I come up with for my life boat.

I open the plastic bag,  and ll this was inside. The little peice of instructions  didn't make sense.  There is no bell on the life boat, and these bars are for what.lol.

 Getting  some ideas  from the logs this is what I came up with.

 I got some oars that when sanded down will look pretty good  I think .

  Marvin tells me to put this all away and come back to it later, I agree lol. I really want to get at my planking but there  are way to many distraction.  And outside work is calling again 🙄,  but I am hard of hearing  lol. I do plan on putting the life boat away till later in the build, this was just fun to do and I like it.

On to the planking , lol, thanks for all the help and likes.

   Bob M.

Peter, Andrew, add a couple more  and have one sleeping on a pillow at the stern, but I think that's been done before lol.

 It is your boat, as far as the mast goes,  it was built in 33 A. D. So it would have been pretty simple, but like I said it's  your boat what ever you decide it will make your's wonderful . You will be happy with the results,  great work my friend.  😬     

It looks good to me. Once the sail and rigging is done it will be fine. I never did a thing to my mast, and it looks good . I just double checked  to make sure lol.

Are you going to use amber shellac  for the finish? It looks good and easy-to-use.  I got mine at Lee Valley.  I mixed up  4 once, but you only need two.  Great stuff. It will make the boat shine .

 Regarding the rigging   the two wire lines lose alot of white paint  when you install them  , thouch them up after you get them to how you like them, last thing I did on mine. Great work my friend.     

An amazing amount of detailed work on this ship, wonderful work. Will be waiting to see what is up for the next build.  

Congratulations!!!  Wonderful looking ship, great work.     

Nicely done,   I just started mine and can see some  ideas  that I will try to emulate,  big emphasis  on try lol.  Thanks for posting, well done.     

Glad to hear you are feeling a whole lot better,  but ware your mask sanding at all times, safety first  😀.   Awesome  work!!!
