Kevin, Even the night shot looks great. Very clean work.

Sweet work, Augie. I guess I need to find more time to get to MSW just to keep up with you and Mobbsie.

WOW!!!! That is all I can muster at this moment.

Robbyn, That looks almost right. Take the running end and run it behind the part going upwards. That way it will hold it securely. After you're sure it's properly taut, touch some fabric glue or PVA to it. Make the rope coil "off ship" and put it on the pin. I like the new profile picture. You two look happy.

You forgot: "and expecting different results." Wait.. that's what I do. Uh-oh.... I'll get my coat. The 38 with extra long sleeves.

I always thought beer was one of the food groups.. it's has vitamins, mineral, grains, and alcohol to make it feel good as it goes down.

Now we need a "don't like" button.... Beautiful carving work that crumbled. I know it happens but I don't like to see or hear that at all.

That's a magnificent ship. Pity the plans can't be sold by Amati even if they don't want to produce the kit....

Uh-oh... 10-letter words, Hobbymill wood... and JP telling you to take the blue pill. You are destined for the darkside, my friend. Abandon all hope ye who have entered here. Alas, alack, and happy building. Next thing you know, it's the Jim Saw... I need to step outside and return to my own bit of delusion.

Sjors, Congratulations on the finishing the ratlines!!!! Take a moment and smile and feel good about them. Times up...go get some more done.

Ian, Soldering is one of those "dark arts" around here. I think the more info we have as reference, the less dark it will be.
-
A super nice build, Meredith. She looks fantastic.
-
You're off to a great start, ZyXuz, NIce work on the drill press and reworking the bulkheads and keel. I'll be following along.
-
Ian, What a great tutorial on soldering. One of these days, would you consider doing an article for the Article/Downloads section? I think it would be a big help to all of us amateurs.
-
Beautiful work, Sherry. The planking is perfect.

John, Sorry to hear about the bad day. I think we all have them. We're a patient lot so don't worry about disappointing. On the other hand, we get impatient on our own builds.

Aldo, It's your call and a tough one at that. I guess it boils down to the choices based on the criteria. If cost is the issue, go with basswood. There's trade-offs no matter which wood you pick.

Kit difficulty rating??? (Moved by moderator)
mtaylor replied to Q A's Revenge's topic in Wood ship model kits
There's two articles here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-plans-and-research.php The one on "What to Expect" and the other is "Kit Selection" that might also be some help. -
On a double-planked hull, you would probably be right. However, Chuck's work with basswood for planking has impressed many folks, me included. The Syren and Confederacy use basswood hull planking and they look pretty good. I would think that the softness would be an issue long-term as it would be easy to ding it.
-
Beautiful details, Michiel. I had to look twice to see the plates. Everything goes together that good!!
-
Spencer, That would be a good place to start. Have the kit number mentioned in the email. Also, use Google and paste a translation (to Spanish) of your request. Do it in Spanish and English. Their email addy is: web@artesanialatina.net

Congratulations Garward. I thought you should have had a gold.
