    Hi Marsalv, beautiful work! Can you tell me which cnc Milling machine you are Using? JJ

    Lol thanks Kevin. I don’t know about that, it’s coming along quite nicely. JJ

    Looks very nice. This kit is on my radar for the near future. I like where you’re going with it. Mind if I copy you’re route? Haha JJ

    Little progress update, been chugging away slowly at the Q-galleys. Going back and forth between P&S sides. Got all the windows for the q-galleys fitted but not permanent yet. Fitted the drops on both sides and those turned out well, needed a little sanding. Got the port side q-galley Roof tiles finished Today and started working on the moulding and frizzie placement. Still working on the moulding profile that I like for the middle moulding, definitely sacrificed a few pieces of boxwood strips in the process but I’ll get there. Happy so far with the results. JJ

    Thank you, it’s the first time I planked a hull like this. Chucks guide to planking is wonderful. as you see the hull there she only has WOP but I’m currently adding just a bit of color to give a little warmer color. JJ

    I like the Byrnes saw/basket ball analogy. I also took the plunge and bought one and I am building my ship model on a boat, in the engine room. Very compact and easy to move/store. Well worth the money. You can see how small the saw is relative to the model in the second photo. All my planks are ripped from pre milled billets from Syren, affordable and exceptional quality wood when finished. JJ

    What kind of wood did you plank your hull with? It looks fantastic! JJ

    Hi Fred, she’s coming along nicely, looks really crisp and clean. However I have to say thanks, I’m reading this as I’m having my morning coffee and down stairs I run in a panic to check my transom fillers! Little late in the game but got me wondering. Lol Honestly I’m not quite sure how to post a photo and type underneath it... I just tried what I thought would work and no go. JJ

    Very nice work!
  12. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Rusty. She’s slowly coming along. JJ

    Thank you for the comments And advice guys, I’ve gotten underway and so far it’s looking ok. Everything is measuring out pretty even so that’s good. JJ

    Looking really nice Rusty! Well done. JJ

    Thank you for the input Guillermo, it’s always nice to have another set of eyes on something. I’m going to measure and double check a few more times and begin proceeding. JJ

    Kevin, shall I PM you a mailing address?😂 your build looks great so far, leaving the comfort zone is good.

    So I got my q galley templates mocked up tonight and boy what a nail biter. I found that my stbd template held a nice shape where my port one is a little warped, both are in nearly identical positions down to .001”!!! yet the port one really throws the eye off due to the warp. I’m going to sleep on this one and possibly print the port template out again tomorrow, if anyone that’s been here sees anything jump out please let me know! JJ

    Very interesting, I’m watching with much interest, considering building this next. JJ
  19. scrubbyj427
    Hi Kevin, are you adding an additional lower deck to this model? She’s looking really nice. JJ
  20. scrubbyj427
    That looks very nice, well done! JJ
  21. scrubbyj427
    Coming along very nice Bob! JJ
  22. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Rusty, as with all vacations it was much too short and I need another one ASAP! So I’m back on the wagon and onto chapter 3, I got the transom placed, the upper counter planked, sanded and a Dry test run on all the windows. So far so good, very happy with the results so far. Hope to get the framing started in the next couple days. The windows required very minor adjustments to fall in line and will require very little manipulation when it comes time to glue them in place. JJ

    Very nice Chuck. Can’t wait to see more.
  24. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Bob, I’m really enjoying this build. JJ

    She’s looking good Fred, so much learned on chapters 1-2. What are you going to do with W1? JJ
