you didn't use the sails that came with it.....I know that might not have been what you wanted to achieve, but they would have had a little better detail for you. the thing about sails at this scale, is that it's too small even for the use of a sewing machine. lines could have been drawn on them to imitate the pleats, would have added a little.....but them there's the edgings to take into account too. I see where your going with it.......for what the kit is, you have done a great job of her. I intend to use the supplied sails for mine.....I'll just paint them to look like canvas. my admiral wanted it.......now I have to build it. my reason for doing it.......I say I may not want to put my heart in it, but my creedo as a model builder, will override.....and I will do the best I can on it you've done a really good log on her......left me some damn good breadcrumbs to follow. I just wished the admiral liked battle ships- 55 replies

thanks everyone for the good word and the likes! it was a toss up.......but I didn't like the snow plow look here {come to a point in the center} from the looks of the leaves and the raw damp feel outside.......we might see that crap sooner that we would like I did get a little done.........the bow has been lowered {now I can see the center line in the road } and I did two attempts at making the ice maker. the first one.......awww, I'll save the drivel for the update.......you'll see Keith: yes, the box cutter works very well, if your like me and don't have a saw. I'm very good at cutting straight lines on flat stock. I have quite a few......if you can't find yours, let me know......I'll send ya one BOB: that was a pain! due to the angled front, the fascia edges along the sides are angled as well to compensate........that's what changes the arch vectors. bisecting the fascia into two quadrants was the only way to keep it sane. I think it's about time I introduced you all to her.......what say ye?

nice looking deck Larry........if it's that plank on the starboard side edge, it might be covered with a cannon. I wouldn't sweat it sand + a nice light stain for tint + nice clear coat = a sweet looking deck!

great update and repair!
-

-
IN the beginning pictures, I thought about Sjors..... "so, that's what happens to cottonball cannon balls when they get wet!" so....now to apply all the learning to the build! gonna be fun to see very nice Daniel!
