Happy to wait and watch, Hank! John -
I say, old boy, you've really done rather neat job of that! Or as we might say, beaudy bottler, mate! Good on you, Mobbsie. She's looking the 'ant's pants'! John

Now that looks very nice indeed, Thanasis - a beautiful job. John

Beautiful, Michael! As they say, "just like a bought one." John

Nice trunking, Danny.. It's hard to see from the camera perspective - does it go all the way up the the deckhead? John

"Chaulking" on deck planks

Try using an archive quality marker pen instead of paint. John -
Nice to see this one progressing as well, Popeye. If you're going to start playing with blocks, try and find some really good quality timber - your blocks will be much easier to make and much stronger when you start rigging. If you can manage to lay your hands on an old boxwood folding carpenters rule; they make first class material for blocks. John

What? You mean the hinges are dummies? Great work, Danny! John
-
Yes, Thanasis, beautiful work on the deck structures. John
-
Kats, Sounds like you may even need to find a new tea shop! John

The placement of the pedestals is always very much "in the eye of the beholder", Tim, but personally I like your placement. John
-
Thanasis, It's great to see that you're back at your work bench. That's a very nice model that you've built. John
-
Beautiful, Augie, beautiful - but why do you need a ladder to take a photo? John

Juergen, On English ships, those curved pieces are called hances. You've made a very nice job of them on your model. John
-
Yep, coming along nicely, Russ. It must be a good feeling to have access to such good original photos of the type of schooner that you're building. John
-
I agree with Daniel - she'll certainly be queen of the lake! John
-
It's almost a pity to clutter up that nice clear expanse of deck with structures and fittings, Russ - but she sure looks nice! John
-
Mark, I once asked a retired shipwright about planking. He told me that there wasn't much to it - all you did was cut 'em and fix 'em on! So go to it, mate - cut 'em and fix 'em on! John

I somehow managed to miss a bunch of your posts, but you're really progressing well. She looks very impressive. John
