Frank,

 

I hope all went well and you can return and finish Supply soon.  This is benchmark build, sir.  Above and beyond.

Hello Frank,

 

Thank you for letting us know you're back home again.

I'm very glad to hear that everything went well.

Just take your time, we will wait.

 

Take good care of yourself my friend,

Welcome back Frank.

 

Sorry I haven't been on your Build log for a LONG time - I've been a little bit busy since the Great Crash :D .

 

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 !!

 

Your ship has more character than most others I've seen, and those excellent furled sails certainly help. Great Job mate :) .

 

:cheers:  Danny

Cheers, Danny

Hi Frank,

 

A little late but from me also a welcome back  :)

I hope that you have a speedy recovery.

Hope to see you quick back at the build.

Hi Frank. I don't know why I never read your log before but I've just done so. It's easy to be enthralled by a pristine model but I'm carried away by yours as well. You've achieved an amazingly realistic look with the weathering and in a couple of photos I immediately thought "That was some storm Supply just rode out!" Really good stuff, thank you.

 

Good to hear your surgery went well. As they say here "Geçmiş olsen!'

If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

Hi Frank

 

Glad to hear the restoration work on you went well. Let’s hope they turned you out as good as new and not in such a weathered state as your (lovely) old boat. ;)

 

Take care

Peter

Hell Frank,

 

Firstly, I'm glad your surgery went well.  Second, I just checked your build log and your Supply is excellent.  Looks like a real working ship.  It's always so great to see how creative other builders can be.  Well done!

Hi Popeye..... believe it or not....... before I went into the hospital I finished all the rigging ( just in case!!) ..... So, now all I have to do is tie everything off....... I've got a mess of lines dangleing all over the place .... hopefuly I'll get my butt in gear shortly and finish her off.....

that's some good thinking!  awwww.....you got plenty of time,  I still need to finish the AmericA.   but,  when that's done...that will be four builds off my table!   then I'll only have the Goth,  the trawler,  and the United States.   I can breathe again!

 

you rest up and take care or yourself...........think about your next conquest!

Hi Frank,

 

Good to see you back.  Don't rush things.  When the time it right, you'll get everything tied off.

Interesting video, Frank, 

 

I will admit that it did make me a bit dizzy....... :wacko:

 

And I don't know if there was no sound or just that I could not get it to play?

 

You are raising the bar on showing a build!

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

Yeah it made me a little dizzy too Jim, ...... I don't know what makes it pixalate so much....... I did this to show Mario how to post a you tube on your post here at MSW. I just ck'd You Tube and the video runs real smooth there.... maybe uploading it causes it to do that??? :o

 

 

 

 Ron it takes a long time to upload .... so to do a tutorial on something would be strenuous at best..... at the old Msw they had a video download available where you did your posting  but they seemed to have changed that. You Tube has changed their method also..... I had to go online to get the info on how to upload again.It's a good tool for a short presentation, although there are some people who do long

videos.I'll have to ck into that.
