    Costs are pretty much the same either way. AYC will have more of a contemporary model look to it, depending on how you treat it, but some prefer the warmer brown tones of the cherry. I think both look great ( see Rusty’s build log).

    I think the trumpeter 1/200 is probably the best on the market currently, yet still requires modifications if you want to be really accurate. But out of the box it appears to build into a nice Titanic. Olympic and Britannic are also possible with modifications.

    Very cool little kit! It looks like a very well designed project. Thanks for sharing!

    Looking very nice Glenn. Your railings look very good, tricky to install, no doubt. Well done. I didn’t even glue my QG roofs/rails on until the end of ch 11 I think! I knew they were doomed had i not.

    Outstanding! One of the best rigged models I’ve seen.

    Welcome to the group! Looks like you’re off and running with a great start!

    Incredible work! Congratulations on completing a beautiful model! It’s been a pleasure watching this build as well as a great learning experience. What’s next? JJ

    Wow! That is very impressive Matthias! Beautiful job!

    I really like the idea of multiple models in one case and beautiful work on your previous display. Looking forward to seeing more.

    Hi Alan, haha I hear what you’re saying. I was more referring to SE FL, I just moved out of Boynton and had to drive and deal with Miami and FTL traffic daily… that’s certainly nothing like what you describe! I always liked the west side much more. Miami/Lauderdale area is definitely a zoo, I lived in green acres at one point and traffic was backed up all the way up there. JJ

    Aim SW then, or NW… south FL is an absolute zoo!

    Yikes! Have fun with that and good luck. You need a big pole barn next!

    Looking good Tom, how is the model progressing?

    Great work Matt, well done on chapter 9, it looks really good. You’re getting close to the end!

    Well Done Steve! She looks great! Chapter 12 really is the icing on the cake. Congratulations on completing your Winnie (well almost). Are you going to drive her down there or attempt to fly?

    Beautiful planking Frank! Congratulations on a job well done! Very impressive work!

    Very nice work Ondras! Excellent metal work!

    Looking good Gary, you’re moving right along, the end is in sight!

    Hi David, Thank you, I think I’ll stop at rigging the guns on this model but I have to say I do enjoy rigging, it’s wonderful semi instant gratification. I agree with you, since I have discovered aftermarket rigging, there’s no turning back and that’s very clear on your model. Keep it up!

    Beautiful work David! Your rigging work is incredible! Makes me want to rig my Winnie. JJ

    I broke every speed limit in the state of Florida, driving out of it as fast as I could with my air conditioning set to “meat locker”.
  22. scrubbyj427
    That really looks good Chuck, impossible to tell that is resin and not wood carved. Well done.
  23. scrubbyj427
    I have a few updates to the design of the structural assembly for the first part of the model, it is almost complete, I need to add a few things like the stern chaser port framing, some sheaves and tie in some of the structure in the stern. Otherwise this is pretty close to what I will begin assembling in September, this will lead into Planking and Q gallery assembly, I am well ahead in that aspect of the design and will probably begin test building that separately alongside the prototype build. Comments and questions are welcome. JJ

    Nice to see you back at it Fred! Looking forward to following this, It looks like you’re off to a great start. Bet that mast is pretty tall.

    Are there any updates on volume 3?
