  1. Fantastic build! Picture perfect quality, masterful!
  2. Anyone step in here? I maybe able to do this. Savannah now!
  3. Funny! I was thinking I would stab myself attempting that!
  4. The stern detail is not very good! This is photo of the box kit came in. Seems like a part from some other ship or gaffe!
  5. The red and green planking is dyed veneer from local woodworking store. It is actually too soft and I do not plan on using it again for major work.
  6. Back on hold! Building other kits, ADHD brain. Currently building c.mamoli Portsmouth and other small kits.
  7. Moved to Georgia! Got distracted by real world problems! Finally getting back into this build.
  8. I agree it is a hobby and we want what we want!
  9. LOL -- Does look totally wrong! It is nicely done! Look at their Consitution it is even more wrong! Hard to understand why when there is so much reference material/
  10. http://www.micromark.com/tweezer-sprue-cutter-despruing-tweezer,8012.html This is a great tool for fine work.
  11. Hamilton -- Welcome to the idiots club! 30 bucks worth of glass!
  12. Hey Bill what retailer has quality mico tools? Or is this a here and there small vendor thing? Rockler and Woodcraft have some micro but not much.
  13. This is very impressive, I read two pages just now and will read all later tonight. Do you write books? Amazing the level of thought and detail. Far above my grade! I have read many books so I followed about 2/3ds of what was being discussed! Tony
  14. I found this nice set on micro carving tools, US made, great edge. Very handy on bow making slots in filler blocks for false knightheads. (is that right term?) I got side tracked in "Bowsprint", that turned into a three night project! Very interesting attempting to get "true" hex, taper, flat and round all on one little 6" board! I bought a Cherry and one other 3/8' square 2' long to use instead of Bass. I find Bass too soft to work with because it is too easy to over sand or cut. I can see where a mill would really help!
  15. Very nice looking boat. Quality modeling in plastic is all about painting!
  16. The little Proxxon saw did very well ripping some planks out of 1/8" x 1" x 12" strip from local woodworking store! Worked on bulkheads A-D tonight. Stern assembly and some of my testing saw on hardwoods. Fun stuff!
