LeoB Posted October 18, 2021 Author #6 Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks, everyone. I plan on seeing this through to the end. I've built several model ships already but they're sub-standard because I still lack some of the more critical skills, which I'm hoping to learn on this project. I don't need to be a great model ship builder, but I'll do what's necessary to become a good one. Message ends. Leo Chuck, Mldixon, Rustyj and 3 others 6

LeoB Posted January 5, 2022 Author #8 Posted January 5, 2022 I got to the point of building the gun ports and realized I'd have to start over from scratch; too many early mistakes. So, I threw it out and started over (after scavenging the keel). I'm now almost as far along on the second build as I was with the first attempt. I built a sanding jig and, by cracky, I didn't break a single bulkhead when sanding. Chuck, Edwardkenway, Kurt Bainum and 10 others 13

Vladimir_Wairoa Posted January 19, 2022 #10 Posted January 19, 2022 Welcome Leo. hat off for cutting bulkheads. perfect start. more patience will be needed when sanding but it will pay off FrankWouts 1
