Vivian, The BEST bbq on this planet, I discovered this amazing treat when I was in Brasil. !!!! AND caipirinhas well what can I say, my sweetheart is Brasilian, so sweet, but after 2 of those if you don't understand---Hmm ??? So love Brasil!! PS; PBR ?? Let's see who wins (:-) We have a holding... Michael -
Frank, Thank you so much!! you are always much too kind. PS: after looking at your steamer sometime back (BTY awesome build-love the antiquing look, as well as the old people) and looking at a current build of the R E Lee, I'm so tempted to move into the 1800s and try one of these. I just bought two books that had amazing BW photos of the Mississippi steamers. Regards, Michael

Nick, Very nice start. Your hull planing is very very nice. MIchael

NIls, Nice update. Nice rigging work as well. Thanks for the large format pics. helps to see your level of detail. Michael

Awesome photos thanks for sharing MIchael

Roger, Buck thanks for your very nice thoughts they are very appreciated. Its encouraging to also learn from other builders here at MSW. Cheers, Michael
-
Lawrence, Thanks for your kind comments. No Chuck does not include a drill bit. I needed to enlarge all the holes, as I mentioned in the previous post. I kept the drill bit in the envelope for future reference, as needed. The blocks that are in the envelopes have not been re-drilled. Regards, Michael
-
Theo, Beautiful project, such a wealth of perfectly executed details.!! As you know you were the catalyst for my efforts at hand building the carriages on mine. I am really enjoying following your build. Also a really impressive ship. MIchael

Dave, Nice to see that you are back at work. Looking good. The Connie will be in dry-dock for the next 2 years, as I'm sure you know. I hope to visit her when she returns to her museum. She looked great out for her last cruise. Michael

Karl, Thanks... FYI I also used the G-S to glue the metal rings to the sides of the carriages. Worked perfectly with absolutely no visible glue marks. I had intended to use CA, but if you miss CA leaves a stain. Michael
-
JanV, Thanks...these are the ones I used. Note the drill bit in the envelope, all blocks were drilled a second time to enlarge the holes to allow ropes to go through. I have learned that this is a common practice to do. Not a criticism of Chuck's excellent products. Michael
-
Hi Mates, Installed carriages now just need to clean up the ropes. I will leave that for now and move to an other area TBD. Thanks for looking in (:-) PS: first pic, is self explanatory, but found it easy to position carriage then drill a small hole in deck for installation. MIchael

JP, Nice to see you active again. Looks very good. Excellent start. Regards, Michael -
Vivian, Great update. Love the shades you have used with the woods. All work beautifully together. Very impressive build of a not-so-often seen ship. I've done a Google search, Yes, you are the only woman in Brasil building a model ships. (:-) (:-) Até logo Michael

Nigel, NO I had not linked over. Thanks for the heads up, I will Google this and certainly spend much quality time looking at the work of such an amazing artist. PS: Many more than "a handful" at MSW (:-) Thanks my friend Michael

Nigel, This might be it, but this one has no interior, but the work as SO brilliant, almost not believable. Plastic no less. Be sure to scroll through ALL of the pages, as pics come back up later during the scroll. A huge treat for the eyes. The aging look is beyond words. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234929054-revell-172-type-viic41-u-boat-u995/ Michael

Frank, Nice update that was certainly a lot of detailed work. Looks excellent. Michael

Daniel, Very nice project...."This time started quite easily with a large scale model of a bacteriophage on a 0,5 mm drill" ... Funny, I had to actually Google that word. Yes there is a resemblance isn't there. Cheers Michael

Joachim, Enjoy your trip to France, sounds wonderful A bientôt Michael
-
Theo, Super nice update. Your attention to details is so impressive. She's a beauty. PS: following your build led me to decide on building the carriages for mine, as well as rigging them correctly. I so appreciated the effort you took with your weather deck guns - they look so awesome (:-) Cheers, Michael
