  1. Hello Bob, I just got me a seat to watch your new build. I was afraid that I may be too late and you are already finished with your new model . . . at the speed you always are going . In my opinion the Prince is an excellent choice. She has very elegant lines and there is a close to unlimited amount of information available for fine detailing. I am looking forward to the journey! Thomas
  2. That looks REALLY nice, Richard! It gives those davits a purpose. Do you leave the rear gun ports open? Thomas
  3. Congratulations, Bob! This is another wonderful model added to your fleet. Outstanding craftsmanship and detail! Thomas
  4. Thank you all for your kind words, and thank you for the likes! As usual they are much appreciated! Thomas
  5. As long as I still have easy access to the deck I added the anchor cable along with 2 stoppers on each side. The stoppers were built according to the description in Charles G. Davis ‘The Built-Up Ship Model’ consisting of an eye around a thimble (img 1) secured with ‘round seizing’ and with a ‘double wall with ends hitched’ as stopper knot (img 2) at the other end. Img 3 shows the finished stoppers. In img 4 the lanyards are attached (simulated splice). Imgs 5 – 7 show the anchor cable arrangement with the stoppers in place.

  6. Wonderful carving, Albert! Did you use boxwood for the figurehead? Your whole build is just outstanding! Thomas
