Looks pretty darned good, Ken.  I'm still waiting to do anything 100% to my own standards.  Have fun with the tree nails.

I'm sure you're aware of it John, but the more of the rigging and spars you get on board, the more carefully you need to move around her.

YOU like the finish???  I went back to page 25 of your log......can't believe it's the same ship !!!!!

Outstanding, John.

Aftermarket carronades look nice and robust.  Nice work.

Sorry about the paint nicks... seems to be an occupational hazard.  But nice work on the drop planks.

Happy birthday .... and many happy returns.  Now, where's the cake????

Yes, that thinning is tedious.  But the inboard planking looks great.  You'll get more thinning work on the ship's boat!!

Very nice!!!!

Very nice and crisp.

Good to have you back.  Glad things went in your favor.

Life has slowed down enough to put in some time in the workshop.

Continuing on the foredeck, we've installed the belfry and the cap for the deck beam that supports the stanchions for another railing.  

Next will be fitting the waterways and margin planks for the deck itself.  I've decided to reverse the partial deck plan used in the stern so that the port side will be left open forward.  This will allow a partial  internal view from either side of the ship.

White over brown is tough with any medium.  Looking good!

Just coming aboard.  Love what you're doing, particularly the color contrasts.

That red will be the fitting finishing touch.  Great idea.

Welcome home!!!!

I like it as well.  Welcome home!

Sign me up for the group therapy.

I may be late to the party but I'll join in on the kudos.  Fantastic color on those sails.

Hey, planks is planks!  Best of luck with the new job, Wayne.  

Stunning.

Really shaping up, Sal.

GREAT to see her back on the table!!!!!!

Breech seizing looks good.  It get's easier with time!

Just love the lay of the lines.  Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.  What's an inch or 2 between friends!

Just catching up.  Nice progress!  Check your local hobby store and hopefully they have some paint that can make metal look like wood.  I think I found some under the Testor's Model Master line.
