That's some incredible work Frank. The furled sails and weathering are really setting this build apart from others. Maybe you already mentioned it, but what material are you using for your sails?

Frank,

 

Incredible job you have done and still doing!

I don't want to destroy that so I give my captains the order to chase another ship….like a Syren or something like that?

Hi Patrick......  glad you stopped by....... the addition of the sails seems to have given her a more weathered look .... I bought the fabric at

"JoAnn's " fabric and craft   store. It's a cotton fabric real light in weight. I thought I still had the receipt but I don't . If you have  A Jo Ann's out your way, PM me your address and I'll send you a piece of the fabric, then you can go to the store and they'll help you find it . OK? I'll

send you the fabric if you want even if you don't have a JOAnns .That way you can go to some other fabric store if you want.

 

 

Augie......  Thanks for the boost!! ...... I have the same regards for your Syren..... by the way, you'd better keep your Syren on alert !!!!!!!

 

 

Sjors...... thank you , thank you , thank you. I was worried there for awhile that I might have to steel plate my Supply to save her from your cottonball bombardment !!

 

 

Sherry....... always nice hearing from you...... that sail really looks a whole lot bettter being full and attached to the mast. I'm glad I found the Surprise picture to help me..... I see your San Felipe is coming along nicely, keep up the good work.

 

 

Hi Carl........ Thank You for your nice comments.... glad you like the look!!!

Hi Jim and Mario....... thanks for the encouraging words , I'm fairly pleased with the way the sails came out, considering everything was done by eye. B) at least they add a little character to the ship !!

Hi Pavel and Wim ....... my thanks to both of you for commenting on my build........ I',ve admired both of your works ,Pavel with your Supply , it's one of the nicest builds of that ship that I've seen, I miss it not being here. I used it quite often to see how you did certain things.

and  Wim your Chinese Pirate Junk has always been a big favorite of mine, so thanks again to both of you for your input.

Hi Frank,

This ship just gets better and better, your doing a fantasic job on her my friend. Those sails are something else but we have grown to expect that standard from you now.

You have a mighty tough job of topping that with your next build, one to challenge Voldamar perhaps ?

Good Evening Moobsie........ thank you sir for your gracious remarks....... this build is going to be easy to top, I'll  just build the next one on top of this one :D  :D  :D  :D , I know ,it's a corny joke but, laugh anyway !! :D I'd be hard pressed to try and out do our compatriot Voldamar. I think he'd better start looking for bigger quarters since you "Aggied" him on !

Hi Augie,

 

You missed nothing but I shall explain a little.

Frank is to the hospital today for a surgery.

He thinks he will be for 48 hours in the hospital.

Frank,

thank you for answer and also for that you like it, with documentation is it for me harder, because i don´t know what is important  to stress, but i´ll try share more information. Maybe will be easier make a photos and with them short comment.  Nice inspiration for next work, i think that it gonna forced me to more enjoy building.
