  1. Nice work Sjors...... that looks like a real hard job to do, you'd think that the kit maker's could come up with some simpler method to align the gun ports, something like a clear printed adhesive sheet that you could attach to the hull........ just a thought Frank
  2. Nice work on the launch Sjors........ did you by chance open up your own port ...... the reason I ask is , I see you are doing another huge build....... I'm sure that fleet of yours needs it's own port by now!! Frank
  3. Michael .... you are definitely ready for the SOS ........ this build speaks for itself...... and your plan B turned out real nice!! Frank
  4. just catching up.... nice surgery there Denis ...... you really do have the skill of a surgeon!! Frank
  5. Hey Tony, nice hearing from you....... you are too funny my man .... whats on your agenda Tony ? .... would like to visit what ever you're doing. I thought I'd play it easy this time with the Red Dragon...... she's already a junk ,so I don't have to junk this one up.... Pretty clever huh!!. We should get some skype time in ' Frank
  6. That's some awesome work there Daniel..... it's a treat when checking out your log ,seeing all the amazing things you come up with. Frank
  7. Please do Matt, I'd be honored to have you onbord. frank Antony........ Yeah no buff to contend with, that's a relief Frank
  8. Hi Denis..... you're absolutely right .... she doesn't belong in the gallery............ She belongs in a MUSEUM !!!!... man that is one beautiful ship ... Great!! work Denis Frank
  9. Hi Matt.... just catching up..... all I can say is WOW!!!........ this is some awesome work you're doing.... the planking ,the treenails, are just perfect!! Really like your choice of woods too!! Frank
  10. Nice job on the planking Don...... no sweat on the drop planks , you really need them on that bow. looks great!! Frank
  11. Happy Birthday Mark..... have a good one!!!!..... you won't see this one ever again :D Cheers Frank
  12. yeah, I k now what you mean EJ...... this was packaged real nice ,all wrapped up in plastic too..... I think the quality of the wood is part of the culprit '
  13. a little up date time........ following are a couple pictures showing frame assembly... pretty straight and forward.... all supports and fairing are done. I'm not going to double plank this build as they suggest. I 'm really not a fan of double planking, once is enough ...... The hull width is fairly shallow so 2 bands should be sufficient , I'll have to line her out and see how it works .Hopefully next time around I'll have some planks laid up. Till then..........Cheers! ! frank This frame was warped out of the bx ... straighten out pretty nice. Thanks for look'n in.... Frank
