  1. we spend months doing something that has to be just right, and then cover it all up LOL, we are our own worst enemies
  2. lol but you will be happy with it knowing you got it right
  3. she is just coming on great, i have to agree the gunport linings would be best painted now David i have just re-read your log again, and various other builds of the same kit, as a result the admiral has told me to look long and hard and my next build. and try to improve my skills rather than skills and the kit, i dont know what is wrong with Caldercraft if anything, but anything other than thier flagships they tend to get a bit of a ear bashing, anyway to cut a long story short, i have been asked to make her the Model shipways Chaperon, and to get the model shipways Confederacy as a christmas gift for my self, and stop making plans for scratch building 8 foot paddle steamers, of course there is always a but, Finish the Victory first
