great work Daniel.......the small details makes it look even better! -
glad to hear you had a good time and made it back safely. the aft end looks great.....very nice picture. will look forward in seeing more of the armament!
-
thank you Lawrence.......a bit more work and they'll look more the part
-
sounds like a small trade off I don't have the power tools you have.....what I do use is in the garage. what I do at my table, the admiral makes sure I tidy up. I was envious of your last set up.......I'm sure this one will make me drool!
-
just adding what the others have said.......she looks great John!
-
happy belated birthday Mark.......no boom booms in my camp......there was enough going on all around us, to scare the crap out of the dog! poor Gibbs.......I had him in the living room with me with the TV turned up.....thank goodness there was a walking dead marathon going on. been out of the loop.....but chomp'in at the bit to get back to the table. sad to hear that your having issues as well.......but you'll get the job done...I have no doubt! very nice work so far!

I rather like the different hues in planking Dave....it seems logical that no two planks will age the same way. I've seen that method of calking......in fact, in the Billing's kit of the Regina, they supply thin strip mahogany to lay in between the planking. I did it.....and I liked it quite a bit. sanded with a couple coats of lacquer, it looks very nice very nice build you have going......got some sweet looking detail
-
been out of the loop for a bit..........quite amazed at what I've caught up to see! this ship is simply amazing.....there is so much packed into her! very.....very well done Nils!

been out of the loop for a bit.......my, she sure has gone places! loved the sight of her in your living room.......loved the sight of her on the beach. as for her display when finished.....I have an idea for you. it is a bit of work.....but it will lead to a great conversation piece. you could cut out a large display area out of a wall {much like installing a bay window}. paper the wall in a beautiful nautical mural with recessed lighting in the ceiling, and then wall it off with a sliding glass door. sounds like a huge endeavor...and crazy to boot....but she's a beauty Michael, and well worth the effort! other than resorting to building an addition on your home......the next best thing would be a museum.......all this is worthy of your talent dark or light.......it will be a treat to see her in color! I wish I had the experience to build something that big!
-
very nice work on the stairs and hold cover.....nicely done I like to make little props for the deck as well......depth and detail don't lament on time spent.......you do what you can. most important is that your taking care of yourself and getting better.......glad to see that!
-
you could also let the rigging do that for you......especially if the warpage wasn't too much. fore stay vs back stay.........the push me - pull you effect I hope this doesn't put a weak point in your mast.
-
you got me........your quicker on the post than I was! :D slide a thin piece of wood through the gaps......might do the trick
-
if you can drill a hole for a small piece of dowel, you can accomplish the same thing, as Nenad shows
-
I hear you on that! looks good though.....also glad to see your still working on her. nice detail work!
-
thanks Dragzz and Matti........this past week has been hard to get anything done! I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel though, and I should be back at the table.
-
the most I've had with that, is that I didn't scrape away the paint enough, and a pin rail came loose on the inner bulwark. if you've done that, you should be fine. usually, if I know that associated parts are to be the same color, I will assemble them first, then paint.

glad to see you back Andy! been out of the loop for a week or so.....now I have to play catch up! with so many different colors in primers these days, it's nice to be able to take your pick. one thing to consider though, is the hue the base coat is going to give the color coat. red sounds like a good choice.....and gray is such a solid color. it is going to deepen the gray, but hopefully, you won't get any sort of a reddish hue. you'll have to do light coats.....with all those angles, there is a threat of gathering in the corners. you might want to wait after the base is done, to give it time to fully cure. there's nothing worse than reanimated paint no jealousy here Augie......only that Andy has a new and exciting model to build. I think he's too shrewd to fall into the same pit as I did play on......after you ply on Andy!

great looking flooring Augie.........you mean to tell me that all this time I was taking the long way around! I never thought to do it that way! that would sure beat playing with individual tiles.....but for what I did, I guess that was the road I had to take I'll have to try this out :) thanks to Chuck as well nice overall look at your progress.....I've been out of the loop {so to speak}. you've really made some terrific progress. look forward in seeing the deck work!

sweet looking build B.E. great looking ship! looking forward in seeing pictures of the hull Nigel....... to me, there's something cool about building an old kit......reminds me of when I build the Nordkap. truly a lucky man to have the chance at this baby!
-
just a small glitch that happened a while ago........yea...you'll need to put them back in, if you want to keep your log in good order I still have one that I need to redo the whole thing. wishing you a happy birthday......I love to be as free, as you are right now!
