  1. I love the ship work... But I hate the news about your health. Damn I wish there was a cure for this as I know of two others (not shipbuilder) with it.
  2. Ken, Go here: https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/47-questionsinstructions-on-how-to-use-and-post-to-this-forumsite-problems-or-suggestions/ and ask. This might be something that only a admin can do.
  3. And poof!, it's a mill also. My mind is truly boggled.
  4. Dave, What Tony said... it's a normal problem and just about every scratch model builder runs into the problem of tolerance build-up. Back during the early days of this project, the rule was "cut thick and sand thin".
  5. You might try asking Daniel here:
  6. Mike, On the musket stowing... I would think they'd keep the muskets close at hand since this basically a "day ship" with no provisions for much of anything other than the guns.
  7. Nice work and a nice recovery from the problems, Sjors. I think every kit has it's problems but each is different problems. Come to think of it.. scratch building has it's problems. No easy answers I'm afraid.
  8. That's not a tool, Michael. It's a work of art.
  9. Beautiful work, Mike. I like your choice of woods which are setting off the framing and planking.
  10. Super nice work, Ben. Interesting find from Druxey... learn something new here everyday.
  11. A feast for the eyes, Marsalv. Looks great.
  12. No words, Frank. Whatever say would just be repeat of everyone else. This is beautiful.
  13. Good on you, Kenny. Sometimes being paranoid is a good thing.
  14. The monographs give a good history of the ship and depending on the monograph, detailed plans with lots of notes on the ship's construction.. There's some monographs only suitable for solid hull as they don't have any below deck info. Others, give you everything in the way of plans... including framing. Note of caution.. these monographs are basically how the full size ship was built and are really not an instruction manual on "do this... do this next, etc." Having said all that... the monographs are definitely wonderful books for reading and great reference works.
  15. Kenny, If you haven't done it.. make copy of anything your using to cut like the frames. It may save you some grief if you mess up a frame. Just the voice of experience here.
  16. A very versatile tool. I've used it for tapering my planking as well assorted odds and ends where I needed a small power sander.
  17. Plastic is easy... it's the PE that's hard, Carl. You're doing great with it.
  18. Welcome to the wonderful of "re-do's" or "do-overs". It pretty much seems to be a way of life around here.
  19. Not a "little progress", Giampiero but a great progress. Looking superb.
