  1. Tom, will you include the building of the case as part of your log? This is something I'm a bit worried about as my skill level improves to the point I can build a large ship and do it justice.
  2. Looks like your off to a great start. Count me in on this one.
  3. Your inboard planking sure looks nice Mick. The whole ship looks great and is really coming along. I know what you guys mean about clamps. I've found cloths pins to be very useful and their inexpensive to boot.
  4. Exellent log and great build so far. Thanks for going into so much detail in your explanation of the work.
  5. Mike, I just have my lathe and mill mounted to 3/4" plywood then just C-Clamp them to the workbench when I use them. I don't have the floor space to dedicate to too many tools.
  6. Rusty, between your beautiful workmanship and Chucks engineering genius that is turning into one fine model.
  7. That's going to be a great project. I'm looking forward to seeing it come together.
  8. I really do appreciate it. So you know I will be using them for building the ship though I'm sure a decent return could be made in resale.
  9. Mike, what volumes do you need? I might be able to help you out and give you a good deal.
  10. I hope I didn't buy it out from under you. I guess you wouldn't have told me about it if you wanted it though.
  11. Well, thank you for posting that. It must have been listed pretty recently because I've been looking. That is an amazing deal and I went ahead and bought them. I guess I'll just sell the volumes I already have. I have quite a bit more than $315 into them too.
  12. Yes he is. I'm glad for him. It's good to see a small business do well.
  13. I ordered mine a couple of days ago. I was just going to look into making one but I would much rather have Jim's. His quality is second to none.
  14. Thanks for looking. I may have found a copy. If i do I’ll post back to call off the search.
  15. I have volumes 1, 3 and 4 of the Illustrated Guide for Modeling HMS Warrior and would love to find a copy of volume's 2, 5 and 6 but especially volume 2. Anybody have one they are willing to sell or know where I might find one? It seems they are pretty hard to come by. I have been searching.

  17. Your deck looks really nice. The caulking is perfect.
  18. Rich, your KC looks fantastic. I have always really liked the look of this ship and your definitely doing her justice.
  19. What references do you have? There are some modern reprints of period shipbuilding and rigging books that are not to hard to come by.
  20. She looks great Dee Dee. I just got back to mine yesterday and am in just about the same place you are. I went with a dark green hull. I think it was common for work boats of the era. I didn’t like the yellow.
