Thanks, Bob, I appreciate the kind words! Are you making any progress on your Pen Duick? Don

Thanks, Chuck, I appreciate it. Also look forward to getting the guns installed that I ordered last week - they got stuck for over a week in a usps facility somewhere in your part of the world but are finally on the way and I should get them in the next day or so. Thanks again, Don

Quick update - per Chucks recommendation, I have applied some dullcoat to reduce some of the shineyness. Don

Thanks, Chuck, I appreciate it. Yes, it is and I’ve got a plan to tone it down a bit - stay tuned. Don

I’ve been working on Chapter 9 for a while and it’s been a bit of a struggle. It turns out that my fairing left the bow about 3mm out of whack port to starboard resulting in the planking not covering symmetrically and poorly fitting rails. I’ve tried to compensate by adding an extra plank in the center and, to the casual observer, it looks ok, and was able to bend the rails enough to get them in place. A bit of advise to folks not quite so far along, take Chuck’s advise on making things fair and square early in the build seriously! I’ve found a source for square wire for the spanshackles on Amazon and need to make some more eyebolts to finish things up. Here’s a few pics……… Don

My comment was that you’re showing us how it should be done. I’ve only rigged a couple and may go back and redo them based on how good yours look - thanks! Don
-
Beautifully done, a tutorial on how to rig these properly! Don

JJ, I used the Craftysailor hooks on mine and they look great. Don’t remember which size, but just picked the one that looked like the proper scale. Your build looks really nice! Don

Brilliant, just brilliant, Brian. I do a lot of work with youth groups and a big part of the training we do is knowing and using resources - this is a textbook example, thanks for sharing. Don

Congratulations Ryland, well deserved, and such a beautiful build! Don

Looks great, Bob! I’m about a month behind you and got all the parts for Chapter 9 a couple of weeks ago but have been working on another project. I appreciate your comments on fairing issues early in the build and the problems they create at this stage - I have some of my own to work out and Chucks right, not a whole lot of wiggle room. Anyway, you’ve done a great job, I hope mine comes out half as good! Don

Bob, nice to see you back at work on your beautiful model! Don
-
Beautiful work, Bob, I’m really enjoying your log! Don
-
That looks great, Glenn, looking forward to more! Don

Will, that looks really nice, I’m very much enjoying your log! I’ve used the Tamiya flexible tape on both wood and plastic with good results and recommend that you give it a try - I think you’ll like it. Don
