Great progress Popeye! The crows are going to be really happy with your re-working of their nests! John -
Thanks for the detailed build log, Nils - it was a pleasure to follow the construction of this model. John

Looks good from here, Augie, and if you're happy with it then we're happy with it! John

Piet, I haven't dropped in for a couple of days. She really is looking first class, mate! John

Popeye, How about just putting that one aside and having a go at another one out of scrap? John

Very nice work on those sails, Nil. When I decide to build a model with sails, I now know where to send my order. John

Well, when I'm sitting at the model maker's desk in the museum I might as well be doing something, Pat! John

Mobbsie, the addition to the bowsprit looks top class. As for your chisels, I'm glad none of the bits ended up in you!! John

The external hull detail is really making her come alive, Danny! John

Sygreen, You only need to post once so as not to clutter the forums. I've removed your other posts on the same subject for the sake of clarity. It's difficult to know how to advise you without knowing the sort of model you want to start with. What part of the world you live in might also help re availability of equipment. You only need to start small, buying only what tools you need as you go. The main thing is to buy good quality. Yes, they're far more expensive, but they'll do the job better and last you a lifetime.

Michael, Most of the comments we get are in the vein of "You must have a lot of patience" or, "are you using balsa wood" or, "Where are the toilets?" But every now and then we get people who are really interested and want to know where we get plans, where we get wood, what sort of tools do we use, how do you learn to build models. Of course, if anyone shows real interest, I tell them about a marvellous web forum that they can join for free! John

Just a short note to let you know that I haven't abandoned the 'Pritt', but rather forgot to take my camera to the museum last week! The first cant frames are on, but it's very slow work while talking to visitors at the same time! I promise to try and remember the camera next time. John
