I get a blotchy finish where the glue seeps out. Later on I scrap this nice cherry wood and give it a coat of Satin Varnish. Regards Lawrence | ||

Superb work Something I will never able to do Hello Charles, Yes you could if you wanted to, scratch building is much the same as a kit except it gives you more control over your ship and it takes a little longer. I thank you for your very kind words. Regards | ||

We were horrified to discover that the last two deadeyes on the lower channels for the upper mast head supports are of a smaller size to we had to correct this little boo- boo. The forward mast platform is only dry fitted. We have not tied off the lanyards on the lower deadeyes as we do like to screech the shrouds for a few days before before we do our final adjusting of the deadeyes. Regards Lawrence   | ||
