  1. (Obviously the wood and "glass" aspects look wonderful!)
  2. The only comment I can offer is that if the pellet is lead it may not be the best choice for a long lasting solution? I think lead is subject to oxidation/disintegration over long periods of time. https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Warfare-Centers/NSWC-Carderock/Resources/Curator-of-Navy-Ship-Models/Lead-Corrosion-in-Exhibition-Ship-Models/ (Hat tip to user Bob Cleek who cited the above in the following MSW thread: )
  3. Beautiful work and what an awesome and unique gift! Fun watching it come together!
  4. For what it's worth, #1 is good but #2 just ROCKS!! #2 for me sir.
  5. Phil - it goes without saying but your Albatros is simply stunning. Well well done! When you look at her, make sure you realize how many people you have helped in this hobby with your research, advice and kindness. I would say I will miss the Albatros but I can absolutely guarantee I will revisit these posts for technical insight and motivation for many many years to come! Thanks for bringing us aboard Phil. Phenomenal!!
  6. That is a crop of a picture of the replica U.S. Brig Niagara in Cleveland, 2010, from an article in The Plain Dealer. (Photo credit John Kuntz?) It is pretty low res! 😭 https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2010/06/cleveland_students_help_bring.html The 1812 era is probably my favorite for tall ships. Currently I am working the 1812 privateer Prince de Neufchatel. Next up will likely be Constructo's Enterprise (1799), and finally in my stash is the Model Shipways 1:76 Constitution. I am a little daunted by Constitution, especially after following your efforts here! The complexity is astounding. Hopefully completing the Prince and Enterprise will prepare me for what's ahead!! But I mean, c'mon. Your ship's bell?? That would take me 6 months and still not look as nice. Beautiful work Glen!
  7. Glen - I just watched the video. Paraphrasing Tom Hanks - "There's no crying in model shipbuilding!!" Just beautiful. Constitution is magnificent and you guys have represented her just so well. It would take a ship in the bottle guy to finish her up with all those tight spaces. Take a bow sir, and thanks for letting us follow along!
  8. Well worth the effort Phil! Very nice work and a very unique feature. Nice.
  9. Wow Mark. Those are your rough cuts?? Look pretty clean and precise to me brother. Nice.
  10. I was thinking some type of faux jade or something but a little research didn't yield much in that arena. 😢
