  1. big strapping guy like yourself......with no lady friend under you arm......poor Andy! are you using the right lure? don't use bait.....girls don't like bait.......like the phrase.....' with baited breath ' who ever thought that one up was ill! you'll find that lucky one, one day..........all in good time
  2. no, I don't think you'll have any trouble with the men in the white coats........they'd see that your a modeler, and think it all.....quite normal wonderful work on the shackles..........your metal work is truly amazing!
  3. looking great Piet! you've turned this build into one amazing odyssey! the doors came out great........most afterthoughts, turn out to be the best detail nice job!
  4. such an awesome ship Doris! it's amazing.....the medium in which you work with, to produce a ship like this. simply beautiful
  5. nice to see you've finished the bulwarks......very nicely done I agree ......number three!
  6. too cool Nils! a real nifty way to create them as well! very well done!
  7. you plank by day and rig by night........your doing some fine work Sjors
  8. I don't open any more threads.......I revolve them now :D
  9. thanks Mobbsie.......yes.....we have that saying over 'ere, but I don't think a cold blooded primate, would have much of a problem with that it's us warm blooded sapiens, that seem to scream the loudest {sorry.......been caught watching Monty Python on you tube} we'll still need it for a while yet........I could stand for a few more days like today thanks for the nice comment......a bit more, and then it's off on some other tangent
  10. aye Augie.......I hear ye!.......they tried to put the Pop {sycle} in Popeye! buts me landlord caim through.....jes' in the nick'o time! alls much better now! we got crap coming in tomorrow! should have an update soon....thank you.......my good man!
  11. yepper Sjors.......I'm keeping it awww-wite!.....you wascally wabbit........... it is a good question......where I made so many changes, it's going to be hard to stain the nests. I think I'm going to need to get a little creative. thanks for the good word thank you Doris for your kind comment....actually I'm kind of humbled..... I'm many levels away from the fantastic work you do...with the materials you work with.......I'd be a life-time, in attempts to equal......but it's fun trying thank you very much! thanks Patrick! I think the nests are the biggest hurdle I had to get over. now that they are complete, there are only a few other aspects that I'll need to address. thanks for the good word thank you as well Bindy.......I thank my lucky stars, I know Bashman! here is the only known picture I've found of him........ . I have to rely on an emoticon, since there are no real pictures of him thanks for the good word thanks Bob........ttttthhhhanks fffffffor nnnnotic'in it was so cold in the house the other day, I couldn't even type on the computer. we have the new natural gas furnace now.......it was 32 degrees this morning, and I didn't even turn it up......felt good {we turn it down for sleeping}. yesterday, they must have hit the cable connection downstairs........internet was knocked out for a while. by the afternoon, we were up and running again......but behind on just about everything. today......it's almost 50 degrees..... tomorrow.....6+ inches or more of gooey wet snow {I think they have rocks in their heads} :D as soon as the dust settles, I can get back to the table. thanks for the good word
  12. I can only surmise.........I wish you well. I hope to see your hands on that lovely build of yours again
  13. just keep that thing away from Samuel L. Jackson........He'll kill it!!!! :D :D
  14. your doing a swell job with rigging.........making our 'masterpiece' a bit early in our modeling career, aren't we? wonderful progress Max!
  15. very well done Kester......your rigging is very neat. hope what's going on isn't serious........it so good to see an update!
  16. thanks Adam.......I actually did the rails separate, and put them on after. it worked out better that way {masking can be a real pain} thanks for the good word ! thanks Lawrence.....been a bit of a break though......our furnace decided to crap out {a s-l-o-w, agonizing death}. we had a new one installed today........out with the oil and in with the Natural gas. I hope it saves me money! thanks for the good word! thanks Frank.......there's a fine line between scratch and bash.....but I am having to scratch out a few parts. the crow's nests seemed to be the biggest problem.....a lot of the parts were missing in the kit. the main mast nest gave me some trouble, but I think I have it sorted out pretty well. now that the heat is back on....I assembled the fore and main mast. the second steps are just dry fitted at the moment, but I did that after I took these pictures. I hope to have more up soon. I'm not sure if I'm up to snuff with some of the other folks here, I favor chalking it up to "creative modeling" I hope no one get nose bleeds easily........we're going to up here is what the frame work under the nests looks like thanks for the good word Frank! I'm still playing catch up here on the site.........I hope to see your fine build in the list!
  17. looks like you had a lot of fun........some very nice eye candy there thanks for sharing !
  18. true......but you've found that it is doable, and more pleasing to the eye. are you thinking of redoing them? to experiment at this scale must be a lot of fun........aye Michael
  19. looking good.......and the fact that they work is even better. with the way your installing them......they might not look so out of scale. really nice stuff!
  20. sounds logical........I can also agree that there is a time line for when a metal mast could be used. adds so much to the build as far as detail goes........much smoother finish too thanks for giving us the finer points!
