Augie just in awe of the rigging.  The whole overall package really, but what drew me to this is the majestic overall look of these vessels with all the lines and what not.

 

Just love looking at it.

 

NICE!!

Very nice!

Sorry... didn't get any sleep last night... aside from a 2 hour period of dying fish impressions (you know.. lying in bed.. flop.....flop......flop flop............flop flap)... :unsure:  :wacko:  :blink:  no sleep in over 24 hours...

Hello Augie,

 

I'm late and everything has been said already. But a compliment is in order here.

Hey Augie, she's beautiful.I can't tell for sure,but did you just use one line to score the moulding.I am finding this to be a hard task with only 3/32 width.

Thanks to all who stopped by and took the time to comment.

 

David-  next build will probably be MS new Essex.

 

Andy -  Get some sleep man!!!!!

 

Keith - started 11/24/2011

 

Trans-  sent you a PM on the molding ---- not sure which one you mean.

Augie,

 

If you started this build in Nov 2011, I think this would officially classify you as a "speed builder". In comparison, mine started in Jun 1996....... ;)

I think we can agree, Grant, that the complexity of your ship and the caliber of your build are numerous levels above mine.  And, seeing that I have quite a few years on you, I can't waste any time.  Heck, I don't even buy green bananas anymore!

 

Still, you could go a LITTLE faster :P  :P

Augie,

 

She's looking great.  Actually better than great, I just can find the dinosaur (thesarous) right now to look up the right work.  :)   I'm both impressed and inspired by your build.

. Smart thinking living in a cave.  Got all the rigging spiders to help out and its one of the few things around here not going up in smoke.

Caves can be an excellent place to spider hunt....might even get a few slaves out of it....
