UpstateNY Posted September 15, 2015 Share #1894 Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Augie, Just my 2c to say she is looking just wonderful. I love the way these wider angle shots pull the whole model together somehow. I also really like the alternation of the open decking fore and aft....a very neat detail! Cheers, Nigel.

mobbsie Posted October 18, 2015 Share #1910 Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Augie, All the above plaudits are well earned mate, it doesn't matter how well a ship is designed and constructed, the modeller is the guy who puts the life into any build. This is achieved by adding a little love, devotion, skill and DNA. Add all that up and what you get is what you have built so-far, a superb ship.

And the encouragement I get from you folks keeps me focused and striving to improve. Hi Augie I have been following your build - and just finished reading it again (for the second time). Your work is fabulous and the praises are well deserved. Chuck's plans are directions are well deserved of all the credit they get also. He has created a fantastic kit and made it relatively easy for all of us to successfully build this beautiful ship. (Thank you Chuck!!!!) That said, Chuck has created this awesome "paint by the numbers" kit - it is still you that are holding the brush. And you have created a masterpiece.......

augie Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share #1916 Posted October 26, 2015 OK, mates. You've all been so nice that I feel I need to explain my recent absence. I've been hit with a series of physical problems (some old, some new) that have kept me completely out of the shipyard for the last 6 weeks. Nothing life-threatening but they have combined to make it impossible to concentrate or do anything constructive. Can't say for sure how much longer we'll be hove to. Thanks to MSW, I'm able to 'keep my hand in' by following all of your wonderful builds. So stay the course.
