  1. Hello how are you? How do you like retirement? I’ve been retired for 5 years and love every minute of it. I build wooden boats many working boats and armor models. Where are you located?
  2. Wow, looking great, I especially like the scrapers you made for the molding. Where and when was the conference?
  3. No big rush, I’m retired so I have plenty of time. I still like to build this model. Good luck with it, take your time.
  4. It looks like a nice kit. How are the instructions? Easy to follow? I understand the camber, it don’t look like a lot of camber so the water would run off the decks. Great job!
  5. Looking good so far. I’m going to follow this build, because I think I would like to build myself.
  6. Just received Midwest Grand Bank Dory kit, that I’ll start tomorrow. I also ordered the Midwest kit Sakonnet Daysailer. The Grand Banks Dory kit looks really good. I kit the Midwest kits from Model Expo all are going to be pretty good! Will be following this build too!
  7. Could you use a divider with a pencil on the wood and pointer on model to trace the curve of the bow to the wood, then cutout and see how close you come to fitting.
  8. Looks great! You did a nice job! I just ordered this kit and looking forward to building it.
  9. Great job! I’ve done one of their kits and it’s a little weird wiring the planks together but it works! Like to do this kit myself.
  10. Got some more work done on my round stern. I got the floor done and working on planking the deck. I also cut out the low cabin sides and roof.
  11. Got the deck supports in today and installed the floor supports in. Won’t be able to work on the boat tomorrow I’ll be at the Oxford Md. model boat show until 4pm. If in the area stop by and say hi.
  12. Thanks for the positive words guys. I think I got the building part done, now on to the finishing.
