Nice work, Sjors. The devil is in the details but I know you'll get through them just fine.

Time to take a deep breath and have an adult beverage, Greg. The guns look good... and numerous.

My condolences on the loss of your mother, Ulisus. It's never easy to lose a parent. Beautiful work on the cannon rigging.

Nice work, Jason. What an improvement. I suspect you're well on your way to The Darkside here....

Beautiful planking, Eric.

Just beautiful, Kees. Those photos on the beach... if it weren't for the stand, one would think they're of the real ship.

April 10, 1963 - USS Thresher tragedy
mtaylor replied to torpedochief's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I liked the post not because I like it but to acknowledge it. I remember the Thresher disaster with respect and sadness.... -
It's great to see you back, Danny. You were missed. I'm happy that all went well with the treatment.

Brian, They're really only a temporary type of product used during storing or shipping. The problem I can see is getting them out to bake any collected humidity which should be done periodically. Maybe hidden discretely in a display case might be better. I'm also not sure if they would draw the moisture out of the wood and cause premature aging.

Beautiful work, Jack. The base that you've done with all the bits and pieces adds a lot to her.

O'Brien reminds me of James Mitchner in that sometimes the story gets run over by the details. Even still... excellent reads.

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.

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.

And poof!, it's a mill also. My mind is truly boggled.

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".

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.

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.

That's not a tool, Michael. It's a work of art.
