I picked up the Balsa yesterday and will be adding the filler this afternoon after I am done with some of the deck bulkheads on the Mayflower. Thanks you two, for the suggestion!
Augie - trust me sir, there is absolutely no concern for Supremecy; I am far too behind the curve for that
Maybe someday though
Thank you Sport - This one will be a bit interesting since I am going to be trying to recreate some of the parts - we will see how that goes

Thanks all!!
Currently working on the deck bulkheads; hopefully will have something to post later tonight. They were stained and drying overnight so just have to figure out how to add the hinges and stuff and then mount them.
After working outside yesterday for the better part of the day (ugh, was hot for around here this time of year) today is another hot day for working in the yard so will be holed up in the workshop

So just a couple more pics this morning.
Another look at the mizzen stay collar lashing and the lanyard. I came about as close as I dared get to an actual rose lashing (I did have to look that up online, found this link: http://www.frayedknotarts.com/tutorials/roselash/roselash.html), ok maybe not quite, but it works.
The kit says to use 3mm deadeyes, but I used a couple of hearts I had. They may be a bit oversized, but they are more correct (I think).
I've also snugged up the shrouds and tied off the deadeye lanyards. When that was all done, I gave the lines a coat of matte medium so things don't get too fuzzy while I'm gone.

She must realize this by now. Especially with Sjors standing in the corner wearing the clown suit.

So when the cat is away all the mice move up? Something about that doesn't sound quite right. Might have depended on who was Admiral.

Hello Augie,
Did you miss that one, about the visit? I will give you an update.
Grant is visiting Mobbsie in september and he is expecting Mobbsie to be his local Shipmodelling tour guide.
Bye for now.

Sounds like you are moving along smartly, Mobbsie! Look forward to seeing the result of that planking and initial painting work.
Based on the size of this beastie, did you need to buy paint by the liter rather than by the ounce?????
