    After a bit more research, Lady Nelson is the best suited kit for what I want to do. Still have to finish Cutty Sark and I'm not even close to that yet.

    Scottish Maid is a beautiful vessel. I am trying to find information online about her and keep coming up nearly empty handed. Where do you do your research for her? Are you using more than the instructions that came in the box or am I not searching the right places? Loving the progress you're making on her. Keep it up.

    Lou, what you meant was that she FLOATED higher right? LOL As far as raising the ends a bit, it was raised more in the bow and the reason was so that the bow didn't look droopy. Because the bow is closer to the centreline of the boat (obviously) a straight line will move further from the viewer when seen in profile view. By adjusting it up a bit aft and even a bit more forward, you compensate for this tromp d'oeuil. This slightly raised bit was the boot topping or boot top. Often times (though not in the case of our ship) a different colour of paint between the bottom paint/copper and her topside paint.

    Simply masterful.

    These words are awesome: "Admiral put blanket over me, it is just the same as somebody cover me with mountine full of dreams, and I dive deep in wonderland and can not exit." Mind if I use an iteration of them some time?

    That wider plank next to the waterway is called the "margin plank". You seem to be doing well at it as well. Looking forward to seeing your progress. It's an awesome project you've got going there Nenad.

    Beautiful metal work. Simply astounding.

    Nice clean gallery windows.
  9. Sailor1234567890
    Your skills are absolutely incredible. Beautiful workmanship. Thanks for posting.
  10. Sailor1234567890
    Nice blocks.
  11. Sailor1234567890
    I second the vote to hollow it out and not paint yourself into the corner of having to leave her upside down on deck.
  12. Sailor1234567890
    Looking great.
  13. Sailor1234567890
    Very nicely done.
  14. Sailor1234567890
    I like option #4 now. It's pretty nice. Looks very much like weathered Teak.
  15. Sailor1234567890
    Looks much nicer than the cast pewter one.
  16. Sailor1234567890
    You haven't even started on the needle gunning, priming and painting yet. There's a touch of paint on her to do I'd say.
  17. Sailor1234567890
    Another Cutty Sark. Excellent. Can't wait to see your progress.
  18. Sailor1234567890
    Agreed. She'll be sweet. Looking good.
  19. Sailor1234567890
    Simply amazing.
  20. Sailor1234567890
    Thanks Holty.
  21. Sailor1234567890
    Very nice metal work. Beautifully done.
  22. Sailor1234567890
    Beautiful job.
  23. Sailor1234567890
    I want to bash a Lady Nelson in to Hornblowers Witch of Endore. I think she's the most suitable model for the task and she'd require very little modification. How do you find Lady Nelson? Instructions enough? Material of a reasonable quality? Difficulty level for a first timer? Thanks, Daniel

    Nenad, The row of ports were cut later in life. Deciding when you want your model to represent will determine how many to put. Forward there are 4 ports for the men in the focs'l. They were there from the beginning. I wouldn't put a row all the way along her hull. It looks wrong for a grand lady like her.
  25. Sailor1234567890
    Nenad, I think the lighter grey you first showed on her majesties' real deck. You get around the weathered deck but not weathered hull by telling yourself that no skipper will varnish his decks but he'll paint the ship. That allows the deck to weather but the rest of the hull to be improved from time to time as the mate sees fit.
