As I recall, it was a credit.

Stevinne got a reaction from el cid in Do You enjoy Rigging your ship?
I love rigging my ships. To me, it's the part that teaches me how the ships were operated. When I was a kid, I would just run lines all over my plastic ship kit. Now, it's great knowing that each line and shroud has a purpose and what that purpose is.
That being said, I do HATE ratlines.

Stevinne got a reaction from Scottish Guy in For Beginners -- A Cautionary Tale
I wonder how many uncompleted build logs are actually completed ships. I build very slowly, so never started a build log because I will start, work like crazy for a couple of weeks, put the model aside when another hobby project catches my fancy, and maybe not return to the build for a year.If I had a build log, I might be embarrassed to come back and suddenly start posting again. I also start my build with a clean work bench, but about halfway through I have toy soldiers, model airplanes and whatever stuff my wife gets tired of looking at in other rooms stacked sort of haphazardly on my work bench. I'm not taking and posting any pictures of that mess.
Just because someone has lost interest in a build log doesn't mean they've lost interest in the build.

Stevinne got a reaction from dcicero in To help kit developers and kit builders alike-What would you like to see developed for the hobby.
I've already added my 2cents on Civil War era ships, but then had this thought:How about a USS Housatanic pob packaged with a resin Hunley in the same scale. Saw a photo of such a model on the NUMAsite and thought it was a cool display.

Stevinne got a reaction from Brian the extraordinaire in To help kit developers and kit builders alike-What would you like to see developed for the hobby.
I would like something in the sail-to-steam category
- Name of ship .....or type: USS Kearsage or USS Hartford
- Country of origin - USA
- Material choices and what style...POB or POF or Solid hull: POB
- Price range you would expect to pay...whether realistic or not $200-$300
-How long do you prefer a build to last from a kit. Will you want to spend 6 months for a small kit or 6 years for that 100 gun French frigate from 1820?
-Advanced or beginner......Intermediate?
I also think a double-ended gunboat, such as Sassacus or a sleek, paddle-wheel blockade runner would be interesting builds.

Stevinne got a reaction from markjay in St. Malo pennant on Le Reynard
I'm getting ready to raise the tricolor and St. Malo pennant on my AL Le Reynard. My problem is that I can't figure out where to attach the haliyard from the pennant, which flies on the mainmast. The instructions call for it to go to a number not included in the pinrail and cleat chart. Right now I have it going to a pinrail on each side but was wondering if it should run to a point more straight down from the masttop.
