  1. Your work is simply outstanding. Your attention to details is admirable. I'm really enjoying seeing her come together. Todd
  2. I believe it's called a "skirt". I use this method. just 2 passes about 4mm away to make sure the nozzle is good and primed. Todd
  3. Nice work on adding depth to the flat printed details. That's a great addition to the model. Todd
  4. Nice. I've read good things about the Photon X. I have an FDM printer, but I'm very interested in getting a resin printer due to there ability to produce much finer details on small parts.
  5. Well done, Sir! I love the 3d prints. And, your painting and shading of them is wonderful. Which printer are you using? Todd
  6. Your work continues to amaze! Adding the crew in such interesting poses will certainly bring the model to life. So much more than just a ship. Todd
  7. Cool! I have this kit waiting in the wings as well. Spent four weeks aboard her on my 3rd Class Midshipman cruise in the summer 1985. What an amazing piece of machinery. An engineering marvel from stem to stern. I look forward to following along. Todd
  8. Looking great! I've been searching for good photos and details of USN versions. But, I've not found much so far. Best I've found is some pictures and a 3d model of USS Saucy. But, I'm not sure how accurate that is. Todd
  9. Outstanding work! They are both lovely models. Looking forward to following the RC set up. Todd
  10. Wow! I love the bar! Foot rest bar, tap handles... Amazing! Lighting looks great too.
  11. Thanks HOF. Much appreciated. My mother actually sewed the sails for me. I sewed the bolt ropes along the edges. Will post more progress soon. Todd
  12. This shall be my late entry of a build log for my AL Bluenose 2. I bought this kit back in August of 1993 and began assembly of the hull. I was in the Navy at the time and serving on submarines. Our operation tempo was pretty high and I wasn't home much. But, I did manage to get the first planking completed and half of the second planking. Then, as it often does, life threw some curves and priorities changed, blah, blah, blah.... In any event the hull traveled everywhere I moved to. It stayed on the same build board that I started it on. Most impressively it traveled well and there was only one small crack in a bulwark that was easily fixed. So, work finally began again in earnest in early 2019. At which time I finished the second planking, deck furniture, masts and standing rigging. Now I'm currently working on the sails and running rigging. God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll have her finished before her 30th birthday. Todd
  13. Nice work! When I print mine up, I'll be attempting to model the USS Saucy (PG-65). So, thanks for sharing your experiences with the kit. Todd
  14. Really nice work on the interior details. I have the AL King of the Mississippi that I hope to add interior and lights on. So, it is nice to see how you are doing your interiors. Todd
  15. Thanks for the link to the rope walk. The boats look really good. At this point I can't imagine planking something that small. Great advice on keeping the parts separated. Todd
