TomShipModel Posted May 21, 2017 Share #1000 Posted May 21, 2017 Chuck, This model is a gem. The workmanship is impeccable. Frankly, you cannot see any trace of the modelers hand, so to speak. Each part that you fabricated looks like a small version of an actual component of the craft. You cannot see any "machining marks", or wood fuzz etc. Very well done. Winnie next?

Moxis Posted May 23, 2017 Share #1011 Posted May 23, 2017 Thank you very much for a marvellous project with all the tutorials and how to's. As the others have already said, we have learned a lot and I hope we are able to improve our humble skills when building our models. However one question still comes to my mind when studying your work: Could you explain a little how did you make those wooden rings around the main mast? And of which material they are made?

Chuck Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share #1012 Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks, They are laser cut mast hoops.
