  1. Your quarter badges shape up very nicely! They are tricky pieces to make! Thomas
  2. That boat is really coming together very nicely! The planking makes a big difference! Thomas
  3. B.E., just looking at the pictures (without having read your text) my first reaction was that this little ship is shaping up very, very nicely! As the builders of our models we all have the problem that we see 'imperfections' which nobody else will ever see . Thomas
  4. Thank you Mike, Bob, and Carl, and thanks for all the likes! I am really looking forward to get the gun rigging behind me and move on to something different ! Thomas
  5. Gun rigging continued . . . 11 down and 7 to go. A little sign of life . . . with more guns being rigged additional deck furniture could be permanently mounted: the ladders, five rail, and pump. The deck starts to get a ‘finished’ look (images 1 - 4) . Thomas Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4
  6. Jason, Chance, Richard, thank you for your interest and feedback! It is always highly appreciated! Chance, I drilled the holes through the keel when the rough framing was just finished and I still had easy access to the keel. The diameter was determined by the width of the keel. I inserted in each hole a 2 inch long brass pipe which went through the keel and way up into a basswood filler block. The 2 counterparts to these brass pipes were mounted on my stand. Each pair of brass pipes consisting of the piece in the keel and the piece on the stand were connected via a solid brass rod which fills the inside of the brass pipes. That makes for a pretty stable connection. Whether this will be the final stand solution is still undecided. But these holes are not visible and they give me a lot of options for the final stand design Thomas
  7. Building the inside of a ship as well must be an interesting experience. It looks great! Thomas
  8. That little boat looks very good! As I still have the 'boat construction' ahead of me I am following with great interest Thomas
  9. Welcome back, Richard! Your boats look very nice! Will your Syren have a long boat and a jolly stacked into each other? Thomas
  10. I just took the time to look through your whole build log. What a beautiful, clean job!! Excellent work! Thomas
