mtaylor Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share #2466 Posted July 16, 2017 Proof of life... At least I hope it is.... After testing my memory and eye-hand coordination (along with many and sundry "honey-do's"... I'm finally back. Bear with me if my terminology isn't correct and feel free to correct it. I'm still have some memory issues with words, names, and phrases. First up... I've started planking the bulwarks. One strake done so far but it's a start. And ran a production run on the Death Star and cut out probably 30 cannon carriages. A lot more than I'll need of this size (gundeck only) but I want to have spares in case I tank a few. Hmm... photo work needs more practice but damn if it doesn't feel great to make some sawdust. tadheus, Gerhardvienna, Jack12477 and 43 others 46 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
