Gary and Greg, You both might want to check your message storage. It's possible that your inboxes are full.

If it's carpenter's glue (yellow or white) then it's most likely PVA and alcohol will usually release it. Sometimes water. But water can distort the wood. If it's school glue or paper glue, then water will usually do the trick. If it's CA (not contact adhesive), then acetone will work. Rubber cement... acetone. Some people have found heat from a hair dryer or heat gun (Caution!!!!) will also break the bond.

Shamrock, Great photos. The issue is with IE11. I'm not sure if IE11 is the default install from the factory on Win 8 or if it was an update. See if it's installed as an update. If it was, it can be uninstalled and IE will roll back to IE10. Use Google and "uninstall IE11 Windows 8" as keywords and without the quotes.

Hmmmm... I'm thinking the HMS in the title is a red herring. Looks to be a frigate or a wannabee frigate. US possibly?

Richard, Are these the plans? http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/furniture/stove.PDF If not, PM them to me and I'll add them to the download area. Seems there were some other odds and ends that are missing since the Great Crash.

Try the adding and removing material first. If that's too uncomfortable for you, then try using isopropyl alcohol (90%) instead of water. Soak all the joints well and they should come loose. Start by getting the outer filler blocks removed first.

Richard, Jud gave the best advice, in my opinion. I can't add a thing to it.

Beautiful work, Mobbsie and you have the pictures to prove it.

I almost missed this one.. or at least the start. Whew... I'm pretty sure if I were much later you'd be doing the ratlines, though. Anyway, you're off to a great start and I'll be looking forward to following along.

I'm happy to hear the move is over and was saddened to hear of your loss. She may have known her time was near, but she hung on to get "home". Our previous dog came home one last time and spent a day making us happy. The next day she was gone. They seem to know. Ah.. moving a fully rigged model is worthy of a headache. I can't imagine moving a hundred.

Congrats Bob. Looks sweet in her new home.

Mark, I believe it was structural. But to cut it for hatches, etc., did ruin the integrity. It would, I guess, depend on the ship and the builder. On many French ships, they ran larger planks down the sides of the hatchways and were scarfed. These were also raised above the deck. On many English ships they did the same but let them into the beams so they were flush with the deck.

The wheel and binnacle really looks good in the cockpit. The chart locker, was that removable or waterproof?

Oh... bummmmmer. Good to hear that repairs are being effected. Can't let a simple thing like that keep her from her destiny and all that... If repairs fail, follow Dafi's advice. Seems reasonable to me.

May you soon be out of the mountains and back in the safety of your shipyard. Will there be an attempt to raise the Stixtenstein?????

Nice work on the Cutty, and thanks for the pictures of Mount Avala and TV Tower.

Mobbsie, If Microsoft updated your browser to IE11, uninstall it. Reboot and IE 10 will be back. IE11 is causing problems.

You have a very interesting approach to this ship. I'll follow with interest and then some.

A very good start, Ben. I'll pull up a chair also.

Lino, We all would love to see your build. Please consider opening a build log.

Even more amazing with the roof on and the lights illuminating the cabins.

The wood discussion now has it's own topic here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/4958-wood-toxicity/ Thanks, Michael.

Davy, I'm not sure what problem you're having. Anyway, go here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/ and look at the first three Pinned posts.

There is Crackers... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/327-le-fleuron-by-g-bordeleau-scale-124/?p=142081 I'll repost the relevant comments here: From Gaetan: THE MOST DANGEROUS WOOD DUST We read a lot of things concerning wood toxicity. In Quebec province, one organism protects the workers. http://www.reptox.cs...sBoisCancer.htm This link shows some tables about wood toxicity. In fact we should talk about wood dust which is dangerous. Here are some extractions of the most dangerous wood dust: Oak and beech; confirm cancer on human Birch, mahogany, teak, walnut, suspect cancer on human Certain woods contains chemical products causing allergy. Here are some extractions Macassar quinone in macassar ebony dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone in maple sugar, African mohagany http://www.acgih.org...FTOKEN=15225595 LInk to American association in English: ACGIH wood dust beech and oak, when I first read this few mounths ago, I was very much surprise to learn this. Last autumn, in an exposition, I was talking to students making violin and they also knew about oak. I do not use oak and beech and I surely will not be using these woods any more. I do not know , but I guess that they observed workerrs in oak dust environment for years who died from cancer and were able to establish links. I guess it would be interesting to copy a table from an English source as the one I saw in the french source. I guess that it wouls some way possible to copy the tables and mentioning the provenance. I think that these are ther best sources available who could demistify which woods are dangerous and which one are not so dangerous.
