As of this date, Aug 8, 2016, nothing has been done sine I said I was going to get back to the build. In truth I got hooked on genealogy, I have traced my linage back to early 1600's in Germany and have been working on it and other members of my family and friends.

I REALLY DO NEED TO GET THE SHIP FINISHED.

Greatest tool I ever got

But what to do with the extra 40 or 50 spools

Oh good, another ship by Ed T. I was beginning to have withdrawal pains for lack of a good build by Ed to follow.

Albert,

Nice work, I will follow you with interest.

I am also pulling up a seat to watch and kabitz.

I have built several AL kits, my present one being Santa Ana the instructions are a manual of some 70 or 80 pages in full color with good instructions.

Five stars for AL

I love seeing your build, someday maybe mine will look like that.

Again excellent build

Assuming the door opens inward the hinge probably would not be visible.

Just my two cents worth

runner63

The kit is double planked.

Thanks for looking

Friends, today I will add pictures of the contents of the box that Santa Ana came in.

At the back of each picture are the precut bulkheads of Santa Ana.

Construction pictures will follow.

Thank you all, as I said I started this on MSW1 and am now about to start to finish it.

Thanks again for the encouragement.

This is a place holder for my Santa Ana build that I started on MSW1. The build was started in 2011 and the last construction was in January of 2012, the ship is patient and has been sitting in my shop since then waiting for me come back and finish it.

When I stopped work in January of 2012 I told my self it was because I wanted to work on my genealogy, which I did.

In reality it was because I could not see the work due to cataracts in both eyes, over the last month I have had surgery to fix this problem and am now going to start work on and finish Santa Ana.

Bob,

A very Happy birthday from me also and like someone else said, Let the young people do the heavy lifting.  I bet there are some neighbor kids that would be glad to help.

Take care

And it is probably going the wrong direction

Santa goes back to his workshop.

Remember to be good or Santa won't get you presents at Christmas.
