  1. I’ve got one bottle of 5-O ocean gray MM # 2157 that may be useable that I’ll be happy to send to you. PM me with your address. I will die mad about what MM did! Don
  2. That looks great, Glenn - the detail and precise fit really makes her pop! I’m really enjoying following your build. Don
  3. JJ, Fred, Chuck, Glenn, Bob, and Rusty, thanks much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Fred, yes, I’m happy with it and have learned tons about how to do this. Thanks also for the Grandchildren comments, I’ll be 73 in a couple of weeks and these are my first - unfortunately they are on the other side of the country from us here in Alabama. Chuck, my next project is Cheerful and have already gotten a bit of a start - am really being careful with the fairing so I don’t have the problems I’m having now. Also, please put me on your Speedwell list. Thanks again, guys Don
  4. I just realized that it’s been almost a year since my last post and three years since I started this log. Much has happened since last June including the Admiral’s knee replacement surgery that developed major complications, and the arrival of our first Grandchildren, twin boys! Progress on the Winnie has been slow, but I’m in the home stretch and should be finished in a couple of weeks. There are still a few tweaks and paint touch ups that are needed, but I’ve installed the headrails and other bow stuff. Because of some early fairing errors, the port and starboard bow shape is not symmetrical, which has really complicated everything. I’ve tried to compensate, but getting the shapes right is probably the most difficult modeling challenge I’ve ever experienced. Anyway, here’s some pics. Don

  6. Johann, your work is a thing of beauty and a level of precision that’s truly an inspiration! Thanks for sharing. Don
  7. Jean-Paul, Great to see you on the mend and back at it - looks really good! Your build is on my permanent reference list when I get ready to start mine. Don
  8. Brian, Your build is simply stunning and I’ve really enjoyed your log - looking forward to what comes next! Don
  9. Fuji, she looks great! Nice build of a truly interesting and historic vessel from a kit that’s a bit dated by today’s standards! Well done! Don
  10. So sorry to hear, I’ve very much enjoyed following his posts, he will be missed. Don
