this is kinda unique.........this type of outer framework. did you gouge the outer surface of the hull yourself? you would have done well to use Obechi.......it's already done for you. I use basswood quite a bit.......but I have gotten some kits where this wood is used. it's very hard to sand all of the imperfections out of it. you've done very well to give her the 'hewn' look. at what stage of the assembly did you get her? keep up the good work -
nice repair Adam. I have a shelf in the hallway where I keep the builds I have in progress.......then, of course, I have the two tables as well........works well to keep these sort of things from happening. when the Goth hit the floor........well, that was my own clumbsiness I glad it wasn't more serious
-
........and now.......I do this in the name of the comodore's seat! nutz.......I guess it depends on content {gotta be bigger}
-
this would make me #3.........scratch that......the bar over my post is an incoming........kinda like a gull flying over........DUCK!!!
-
nice work Adam your work has that flare to it.......kind of an antique look that is not too dark, that would hide the subtle detail. are you going to second plank the hull?
-
looking good Phil.......love the colors {nice blend}
-
she knows better...........sucked up a nail once {not one of mine} and took out one of the turbines.......darn thing sounded like a 747!
-
have a good time fishing Augie..........just to let you know.......I finally painted my spitfire yesterday afternoon / evening. I'll get a picture to you before you leave on your big trip

I'll quote you on both comments Andy.........I think though it will be a hard sell to my admiral she's threatening to bring the garbage can over and slide everything in! Hee....Hee......!
-
the admiral would kill me if I started another build........I will have to live with seeing your build at the moment. it is something to think about though what type of program are you using?
-
whatever you do.........she's turning out to be a really cool build! nice job on the masting. for deadeyes.......how about tiny buttons?
-
sounds like a very imaginative build........I'll be watching!

nice bit of progress Piet.........too bad that section can't be located to the port side, and make another one for the starboard {just to make it easier......cut out the repair problem nice repair of the deck.
-
nice planking Mark..........your in the makings of a sweet looking hull!
-
very nice work on the copper tiles.........gouing to give a nice look to your hull. If I were to vote, I would pick the semi flattened ones......on the actual ship hull, they would probably be indented slightly, so the round of the rivets would not be as prominant. whatever you choose good sir, would look good
-
nice work on the beads and gaff.....look forward in seeing her with some color
-
dispite the failure part.........you've given me some insight. I have been using my decal maker to produce decorations and designs for my ships........the biggest problem is the transparency issue. I have seen what Dafi has been doing with his Victory builds......he has produced some photo etch as well.........I wondered how he might have done this. this might be it! thanks for showing this.......I'm sure the admiral will jump for joy as well, when I push to get one of these I won't mention your name, I promise! besides........failure is part of getting better at it, isn't it?
-
After thought: I should have done the 'ph' thing all through it..........then it would have looked really kool! opps! 187 now...............Hee..........Hee MORE WINE!!!!!!

comodore Sjor, is so much more is so very chatty, and could drink you to the floor some folks say he can stick it ayway 1/2 pint 'o whiskey every day Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle 'an awefully fond of his ram 'an Winsdale Scott was a drunk'in phart I drink..... therefore I am! {edited excert from "the philosopher's drink song" by Monty Python} example: F = PH cunningly funny! thanks Frank...........only 188 more to go! I'd have something on the Goth, but I've run into technical difficulties with the Half Moon, and I'm working to resolve it.......more on that at Eleven I have to get the main mast in order now anyway........gotta be able to do the lower fore stays, before I can finish the shrouds. I'm so happy to be rigging.........thanks for the good word I always thought that 'flip flop' was a universal term!
-
I sometimes wish I had done it this way as well...........trying to feed the shroud lines in between the masts is a bit trying. it also is tempting to rig higher up the mast, which can make it harder to run other rigging on the next mast. well.......I'm just glad to be doing 'some rigging', as I'm sure you are as well Andy. again........wonderful progress your making.......can't wait to see more
-
I think you were speachless Kevin........I get that way sometimes when I see something this awesome! you'd be cheating yourself Augie, if you didn't build another ship about the case.........I have heard horror stories about the use of glass.......lots of folks use the plexi glass. I forget what they call that certain type, but there is some out there that resists scratches. is this something you've thought about?

the party is just warming up............Augie, you just might make it to 100 after all!
-
your shrouds are looking great........a fine beginning! lots more to go though.........have fun
-
I know what you mean Wayne.......nothing wrong with a little banter now that I've gotten through with my work week, I can work some more on the Goth and get some more pictures up. I've been looking over the pictures again........mainly at the brace riggings. I need to tie on some more blocks.....it won't too hard though. then the mis ship needs some work.....things I want to add. more progress soon I call them flip flops as well.........Gibbs calls them chew toys though, so I have to keep an eye on them. lately, I've been having to keep an eye out for under our bed........seems to be his hide out crazy dog!
