  1. Wow! Very depressing. I'm glad you started this project. It's more than a model ship. It's a great history lesson.
  2. I am going to enjoy this build of Jack Aubrey's first command. Good luck. I am currently building HMS Surprise.
  3. Thank goodness, Frank. You are human after all. I have been discovering glued and pinned errors that can't be fixed since I started building model boats. It's good to have an esteemed builder in your class as a member of our can't-fix-it club. Your work is magnificent!
  4. Each month you stay with this hobby, your stash of tools will increase. There's is always a better tool. You start off with a box cutter and tweezer but the end is never in sight. Just ask the wife of a model ship builder. Good luck!
  5. Most of the various immigrant groups had their own set of assimilation problems. The Italians, The Jews, etc. It all added up to making Americans a tough breed. Let's hope we can still remain as tough as these past immigrants were. Thanks for building this model, Frank. It is a great model. but it also teaches us a good history lesson.
  6. The trip certainly wasn't for sissies! The end result was America got a solid, tough breed to help her flourish.
  7. Frank, You said that the poverty stricken passengers had to bring their own food for the entire voyage. How did they cook that food? I'm sure the ship's captain forbid private fires aboard.
  8. Frank, That's the best model ship carpentry work I've ever seen. Maybe it's the best carpentry work I've ever seen. Wow! Rich Hippner
