  1. It's like fast-forwarding a video through your build! Looking forward to future instalments.
  2. It's so nice to be able to revisit your build in color. Thanks for re-posting it. I'm sure it's memory lane for you as well, Ed.
  3. I hadn't seen pictures of you Victory before, Ed. You certainly were inspired by C.N. Longridge and have built your model equal to his standards. Tahnks for posting this log. Interestingly, it was his Anatomy of Nelson's Ships that also inspired me years ago.
  4. Welcome back. Even if the log was lost, the model is still there, and she looks great!
  5. She's coming along very nicely. Your work is very clean and well down. Looking forward to seeing further progress!
  6. Now,that was fun! You might be interested to know about the 'stone boats' that were used by settlers on the Canadian prairies. These were actually wooden sleds to move stones and rocks away as the pioneers cleared the land. When I first came to Canada and heard that expression, my mental image was exactly that of your stone frigate!
  7. Good going so far. Be very careful about covering the frame pattern when assembling floors and futtocks.
  8. 'Sarge' suggested that a lot of expensive machinery is required, but that's not actually true. Sure, it's nice to have powered toys, but everything can be done with decent hand tools, just like the old-timers. Yes, it'll just take a little longer, that's all.
  9. This is a fascinating build, Helmut. The technique you used for casting lead into the keel is an interesting one!
  10. Welcome back to the new, improved MSW. It's always a pleasure looking at nice clean workmanship. Thanks, Greg!
  11. Good to see you back and posting photos of your progress again, Michael. The 'scale' figures are rather fun!
  12. Welcome back, Mark. I enjoyed scrolling through your retrospective. Thanks for re-posting so much material.
