Hi Doug,Slog,Popeye and Augie,thanks a lot men for your comments they mean a lot to me.Doug check out Dan Vads gallery of his finnished Supply totally differant class to my attempt.Next one Augie is the Occre Endeavour when i am allowed to start it,i got a hard time building the Supply.The Endeavour was the one i have been practicing for,i hope i can do a decent job.Half as good as Slogs i will be happy.I got it through e-bay usa texas.de website which is actually a german site sending a spanish model to my brother in Montana who then shipped it to me because i could'nt get it shipped direct to NZ.So she has had a few voyages already.

I've given up on re-glueing and paint touch ups until it's finnised.You will have 2 violin blocks spare.I like your wooden display base,where did you get that from?Any photo's of mine that can help you please let me know,mine has got a few deviations to the plans but in 100 years who will know.

She looks great Doug,i like your bowsprit chain.One more stage done there's plenty left alright.Good time to count up how many more blocks you need going by the plans plus a few extra,i needed more 3 and 5mm single blocks and ran out of .5mm natural thread.I wish i attached the gaff a lot later but it is pretty tough.I'm just re working the ships boat stand i kept leaning on it and breaking it.My hands are still tied in knots after the last session.Good luck.

Great job on your half moon Popeye,looks a bit differant to the Goth you are supposed to be doing.My school report card must be like yours easily side tracked.Must try some spinach myself might get something done then.

We have come a long way but my skill level is way below yours.You would agree if you saw it in person,my biggest hurdle is fairing the hull i like rigging etc.

Thanks a lot for all of your comments gentlemen.I sure have learnt a lot for next time.Scratching my head a lot on plan sheet 6 but think it's right.

Thats right Popeye,The guys who repair the stay sails came with a donkey cart yesterday to pick them up,he was shaking his head at the condition of them so could be a long repair,dragging on and on like the Americas cup.

Frank they look great where they are,the people that will see it and my mistakes won't know it.

Hi Denis i will be doing a log for the Endeavour a long way off yet though.
-
Thanks Denis,it's got a lot of faults close up but hopefully i can improve for the next one.I've got another one waiting patiently in the wardrobe.The Occre Endeavour for a good deal about half the price we can get it for here.But now Cornwall model boats have it for a good price.The Occre instructions i have had before are great lots of detail.
-
Thanks Alistair,don't hesitate on having a go at it.I'm having a go being a complete amateur at all of this and my first sailing ship.
