you continue to amaze Sherry.........those stairways are awesome I had to look back to see if I missed anything else..........such wonderful work! I have to agree with the others........I fail to see what the problem is with the beak head........the entire bow section looks great! sadly, I'm no expert on these era of vessels........but it is good to see you back at the table again

thanks for the kind words and the likes the heat is back........the last few days have been oppressive. the work week is over I never quite understood why spell check was highlighting the words gudgeon and pintle ....I just looked these words up......they are not in my dictionary. it's nice to know I was half right it's the way the rudder ended up Patrick..........once the hardware was 'bolted' down, it acquired that gentle turn to port. I didn't want to try and straighten it out.....it might have broke. so, why not accent it a little thanks Jerry. ........I have several that are not covered. I'm not enthused about it either, but I guess it's better than the boxes they were once in perhaps one day..........when I get tired of cleaning them oh well.......after all.......what's the life expectancy of a model, anyways?

I wanted to post this update last night........but I was too pooped to pop I did this on Friday. with the rudder fitted out, it was dry fitted on the ship to see how it would look. it was cemented in place........holes were then drilled for the simulated bolts completed, it looks like this. the other side was done........and then it was touch up time. once done, the final results. just to add to it, a monkey chain was added. it looks a bit off.......there is a reason.....the rudder is turned to port slightly. I did this to compensate. now....I can do a bit more to the bow.......first the gammoning was done. lastly, the knees were added to the bow stem.......still a bit more to go in this area. I have one more work day to go...........happy labor day.....to all who celebrate it .....and a belated happy Father's day to all of my Australian friends

Augie's correct John......they are clams {in the shell} steam cooked or boiled briefly, and served with hot water, broth, and butter. when the admiral and I got married, I had never tried them.......since then, I eat more than the admiral traditionally, the water is to wash the sand off {if any}.....dip them in the clam broth to bring out more flavor, and the butter to taste. me........I just go from butter to mouth yes Carl.......the admiral made the cake.........I grilled the steaks it was a very nice day. there's still cake if your coming over

I was referring to the rudder assembly JP.........I'm not even to the point of masting her yet, which then, I would consider the build half way thanks for the good word...and following along thanks Nenad......till the finish my friend! thanks for the likes as well!

thanks to you all for the birthday wishes! I got to do a little of everything...all except to chain myself to the tables. had a fine repast of a pound of steamers, followed with {estimate here} a 10 oz steak w/ carmeled onions {I skipped the salad}. with my son having to get ready for work and such, the festivities got a bit choppy.......but I did manage to get a piece of cake I have things to do on the Half Moon build..........and then I will resume this build. hope to have an update for you all real soon!
