Michael........Just now went thru your build, this is one fantastic piece of work, Hope I didn't post too many likes! . Sorry I didn't catch this earlier, but there are so many great builds here. I 'll try to ck in often. Liked your crew figures too, where did you get them? please don't tell me you made them!! Frank

That's a real good idea on those safety timbers, that basswood can get pretty brittle at times. I've got a Pride of Baltimore sitting in the closet because of my frustration with those basswood bulkheads. So keep them on Augie , your build is too nice to mess up !! Frank

Much better Sjors...... like Andy says, save the old one for your anchors. Frank

Elia, you might try primer coat ( let these coats dry real good )then use a buff coat or light tan , then dry brush using a dark brown or umber. Frank

I never knew Floquil made oil based paints, The only ones I remember were their lacquer based, I didn't even realize they made enamels either since they were bought up by Testors, I loved their lacquer based and Poly S. Too bad they had to sell out to Testors . Frank

Hey Patrick, how you doing?........ thanks for your comments, the Amati figures are pretty nice, they have a lot of detail built into them, for the money you can't go wrong. It would have been nice if they came pre painted, but, It was fun painting them, even if it was a little time consuming. The eyes and hands dictated the time spent on them Frank

Thanks Mark, right now they're a happy crew, but I can't say what they'll be like when we head out for Australia, it's a pretty long trip and you know how yancey sailors get ! I just hope they don't pull a "Bounty" scene !!

Nice jig !!

Thanks for meeting the crew!! Dirk....... thanks for looking in..... glad you liked the crew ! Pete & Wacko...... the figures are made by Amati and I purchased them from Cornwall Model Boats. ( they come unpainted ) B.E...... Thanks again for the info you gave me, and I'm pleased that you approve of the finished look Sjors...... I gave the crew a little shore time since rigging work is still in progress, once that's finished they will be put in place Popeye...... thanks for your input..... Those Flint bros. are really quite a foursome, they look more suited for the head than they do manning cannons Frank
