Great looking Supply Ron. Sit back, admire and be proud. Then tomorrow get that thing into a display case and start your next build.

Andy, I'm sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. I hope you can make the memorial. The right words will come when the time is right. Might be the middle of the night or high noon, but they will come. In many ways, this place is a sometimes rather disjointed family and other times, it can feel closer than the real thing. Keith hit it dead center.

Sweet work on the hurricane house and tiller John. I won't mention the rudder except to say it looks good too.

Looks like you're off to a great start. Hope you don't mind if I pull up a chair and watch?

Bits and pieces, you say? Or just more in-depth detailing? Super nice looking, Hamilton.

Hi Alexi, Count me in as one who'll follow along. I love a good kit bash.. and:

Hi Derek, Just catching up on your build. Great job on deciphering the manual and building her well.
-
Matti, From here on out, she'll take on life and look different to you every day. The prow really looks great.
-
L'Orient really sounds promising. I'd love to do that one with the Billy Ruffian sitting next to it when they were at the Battle of the Nile. So many ships, so little time..<sigh> Enjoy the Zin.

Beautiful work. Looks like she's just flying along.

Well... isn't that all you CAN do? Laugh it off, fix it, and carry on? Or at least after the expletives have blackened the air in the workshop, of course. I'm just a sanding fool right now making powdered wood in one area, and smooth wood in the other. I'm happy with the way it's going.

After the day you're having... here: That is a total bummer. Hmm... if you took the 3rd floor, even with $75 more, would it still save you money?
-
Piet, The loading tubes and doors look spectacular. I'm thinking that John might have a good idea. You wouldn't have to all the doors, maybe just one? The tube wouldn't have to be full depth, just enough to "see" the mine in it.

Happy Birthday, Chris. Hope you get your day in the shipyard tomorrow.

Hi Denis, Moving seems to be a mix of good things and things that make you scream. I hope all goes well and you can get back into the shipyard. This is going to be an interesting mystery project. Since you're working and moving, for now, we'll do coffee and hold the adult beverages until you're all moved: Sorry Wayne, got to think of our host first.

Neil, You have a great website. May I suggest an introductory post here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/3-new-to-the-hobby-or-msw/ I'm sure the other members who don't venture into the scratchbuild area would love to meet you and see your website.

Thanks for retirement wishes and comments. Been a week and wonderful. Getting things done that I've wanted to do and even worked on Licorne. I had some gremlins visit. Grabbed the wrong drill bit to put some holes into the frames for planking clamps. It was too small and when putting in the clamps, I heard a horrible cracking sound and the planking bulged outwards. Choice words, isopropyl, and several hours later, the planking was removed from the damage area, the frame fixed, and the planking back on. I've finished the starboard planking between the main and chain wales. Currently sanding and final cutting and sizing the gunports. Hope to have pictures soon.
-
A nice bit of progress, Lextin. Earlier, you were questioning the wales. What did you decide?
-
Great looking guns, Jerry. That will be an impressive arsenal when you're done casting them.

Anthony, Have you seen this: http://www.arsenal-modelist.com/index.php?page=accessories∂=39ℑ=0 If you click Accessories at the top of the page, there's a whole list of items. If you click Articles, there's more... sadly, the Articles section isn't complete.

Spencer, What kind of glue? If PVA, use alcohol (90%). If CA (superglue) use acetone. Soak down a bit cloth and wipe.... and wipe.... and wipe. Scraping with a scraper or even a razor blade while the glue is softened will help.

Congratulations!!! And very well done... time for a happy dance!!!

When I first saw your last post, I saw the pictures first and thought "now that's interesting, he's confident enough to build the display case first!". Actually it's a great idea to have temporary storage to keep the dust off.

Sweet work on the tube doors. I'll just admire them and let someone else ask if they actually lock. ;)
