  1. Thank you Jack. All these pictures bring back fond memories of Italy, Pisa and Tuscany. I long to go back. Yves
  2. Jack, This is superb, especially as presented on that beautiful table book. Yves
  3. Brett, Thank you for taking us on this beautiful Dorade ride and sharing the construction of that great kit. Enjoy your sail trip. I envy you. Yves
  4. Jack, I am glad that you are taking some models and work with you. A man with your skills should not stay inactive As for the updates, an Internet Cafe may be your solution temporarily until the ADSL line is repaired. Best to you during this temporary move. Ciao. Yves
  5. Emelbe, We are all very pleased to see your review and Build Log of this fantastic ship. We followed Chris Watton for a few years, during the design of it (that was the MSW #1 from before the flood/crash) and it is great to see to which extent Amati went to make this kit a "high-tech" kit, with new techniques, new materials and an incredible packaging and documentation. I will be following with a lot of interest. Yves
  6. I understand Keith. It is just that with your usual level of perfection and craftsmanship, I was surprised of that ommission. Yves
  7. Oh....you did not drill the deck before glueing the port holes? Excellent craftsmanship. Yves
  8. I love the way you planked the stern. This is so perfect. What a beautiful hull. Yves
  9. Did the Mayflower carry guns on its trip to the new World? As far as I can remember, Mayflower was a merchant vessel. Yves
  10. I like that nice fig tree that is in the background. Do you get sweet fruits, Jack? Yves
  11. I would use existing Build Log as a guide. For instance: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8865-muscongus-bay-lobster-smack-by-piet-midwest-products-co-inc-kit-length-15/?hl=%2Bmuscongus+%2Bbay Yves
  12. 03 I'm sure you're probably wondering: which relationship has this message and related images with the Brick I'm building and that headlines this log? Does it have any relations to the Plating of the Hull? Yves
  13. Talk about a complete take over of Floyd's original blog..... Yves
  14. Beautiful boat. Exquisitely and discreetly weathered. A masterpiece if you ask me. You can be proud of yourself and you had a fantastic idea to picture it with the sea and waves in the background. Yves
  15. Jack, It is my pleasure and daily joy to follow your progress. I love your dedication to this hobby and all the beautiful ships you are building. Yves
  16. Congratulations on your progress on this lovely boat. I like the dark varnish on the boom, as it is very realistic of yachts of that era. Yves
  17. Lovely colors for the wood. Brilliant idea to stain it in red. Yves
  18. There is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when restoring old and valuable things. Fantastic work. Yves
