I'm with Christian.. the ligher one. But it's your build and you're the Captain. Go with what your heart says.

Very nice framing and sills, Maury. -
Figuerres, I like what you're going to do. I love to see kit bashes like this. :)
-
Very nice work, Prodas. I like that color you put on her.

Robbyn, Those doors look pretty darned good. Hinges and all. The hinges look like brass but they're paper????

Cole, For starters, make sure the fence is square to the blade or even a like more away from the blade at the rear of it. If the fence is closer to the blade rear than the front, it pinches and then kicks the wood out. Also, lower the blade it's just above the top of the wood. As I recall there's several videos on youtube.com about this and about cutting thin planks. I had some links for videos about pushsticks and featherboards... I'll have to do some research to find them.

It went flying across the room??? Check the fence. If it's closer to the back of the blade then the front, it'll pinch and grab and fling it. Also, make sure the blade is just tad above the wood. That's what it usually is when I send wood into the next county.

Andy, The mast looks great and IMO, worth the effort.

Between Sjors and Andy, you're getting some pretty interesting ideas. Hmm... what about the washer nozzles for the window if you add the wipers? I'll go hide quietly now.

Nice catch on the mizzen mast. I guess the Mirage is bit too big to be a brig?
-
Simple, yet elegant. They look great Remco.

Uh... my Constellation started as an AL kit.. two reasons: 1) only manufacturer with this model. 2) Cheap. Having said that, you get what you pay for. AL has undergone a lot of changes in the several years and whatever quality they had, from what I understand, is now about zilch. Some of their stuff is getting fairly good reviews, Surprise and Victory. Not sure about the other kits. Most of their kits are now put together in southeast Asia and also form the basis for the owner's "museum quality, hand-crafted ships" that a lot of pre-built model sites and e-bay sell. The other problem is that a lot of AL's models are fiction... An aside is that when the owner moved, the designers and some others founded OCcre.

Nicely done, Harvey. Thanks for the great tutorial.
-
Hmmm.. ratlines without masts.. maybe the masts are invisible?
-
Mobbsie, I'm not sure there is a dip.. maybe some more photos? :D Planking looks good. For Sjors... just one...

Nice doors, Robbyn. Isn't dabbing in the "darkside" fun?
-
Amazing craftsmanship, Mark. Looks absolutely perfect from the pictures.
-
Beautiful, Nico. The chrome really brings out her lines.
-
Thanks Dave and Russ.
-
Nice work, Juan. She looks great!
-
Very nicely done, Sjors. Looks great. Too bad you can't ignore the cries from Mirage and work some more on her.
-
Mobbise.... Saturday huh? I'll be patient.
-
Wow....
