Thistle17 Posted February 2, 2018 #991 Posted February 2, 2018 I too stumbled into this thread and was amazed at your mastery of wood tools of hand. You are truly gifted and I might add "fearless" to have attempted such a model, at this scale, as your second subject! I believe there are just a few women in this pursuit and gauging your skill level there are but a few that have achieved your level so quickly. Portia Takakjian probably was the most prominent, but she is gone, so keep doing what your doing and continue to grow. Your work has my admiration. Before I sign off let me say this is not about being female or male. I just marvel that you found a passion in this as I believe the rest of us have. Joe Piet, newbuilder101, mtaylor and 1 other 4
newbuilder101 Posted February 8, 2018 Author #992 Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone. Thank-you all for the kind comments once again! I am still around and checking in once and a while. I would love to get back to the San Felipe soon, but it will still have to wait a little bit. I am currently making a violin for my daughter, which turned out to be a bigger project than expected! Yes, Guy, I do hope to mast and rig her. That's the plan for now, I may change my mind if I can't find a suitable place to display another fully masted and rigged ship!

gjdale Posted February 8, 2018 #993 Posted February 8, 2018 Lovely to see you back again Sherry. That violin project sounds like a major undertaking - I’m sure your daughter will treasure it. Hope to see you back at the modelling bench again soon.

gjdale Posted September 9, 2019 #997 Posted September 9, 2019 Welcome home Sherry. The violin is an outstanding piece of workmanship - I’m sure your daughter is delighted and you can be justifiably proud.

acaron41120 Posted September 27, 2020 #1001 Posted September 27, 2020 Got through all your build photos. Most excellent work. In the Admiral/Captain quarters, where did you get the material for the rugs and the picture in the frame? mtaylor 1 Allen Current Builds: Mayflower - 1:60; Golden Hind - 1:50 Past Builds: Marie Jeanne, Bluenose, Bluenose II, Oseberg, Roar Ege, Waiting to Build: Swift; Skipjack
