Hello Arthur, Thanks for your vote of confidence it is very much appreciated. Yes I have already profiled the cherries but put them back in the tube until I am ready to install them. Yes I profiled a strip of cherry wood for the deck skirts as I could not find any in the kit, still have a lot of parts in the boxes. Been a rough week here in the Old Ship Yard two trips to Newmarket, one for eye surgery and another the next day for a check up and another check up next Thursday. Had to cut the lawn as it is growing like crazy! but looks very nice.
Hi Lawrence, today's cataract surgery is very common and well done. You will not have any problem at all. Aging is something we can't avoid. My left hand, when I try to do something very detailed, start to tremble. That makes me be afraid to work again on my Fubb. Nevertheless, I need to overcome that fear and do it. As you wrote, there is spring and time to work out. Here, in sunny Florida, it is time to work inside more than outside, it's too hot already. I will stop my work on my Cash registers till winter, when working in the garage is acceptable. My model ship workshop is one of my bedrooms. Big tools are in the garage, but cutting a piece of wood is faster than being a hours polishing brass. Today, I will put away my cash register tools, clean the working benches and organize my work and setup my mind around Fubbs.
Hello Daniel, Yes the eye surgery is very much improved and have gone back to my old glasses of around 10 years ago, starting to look like I will not need them at all on the fixed right eye, will wait until I see the eye doctor on the 16ths.
I am back.... posted !!
I think you're confusing me with someone else. Although I've seen the Cutty Sark, I don't think I've been aboard it. If I have it must be over five decades ago!!
Good morning Lawrence. So very good. I love the skirting board with the scraped pattern. Cheers Grant
Hello Brad, I thank you very much for your very kind words and overly nice comments. Yes Mike Shanks has put together a great kit with lots of detail that I love, and I do add a little of my own touches. I am one of the lucky ones to receive this great kit, thanks to Mike's Generosity.
Hello Grant, I thank you for your very kind words and nice comments. With this very large scale there is lots of room to add a few of my own little bit of detail, all though some of it can cause a few problems.
Hello Johan, I thank you very much for your very kind words, Yes this is where the fun begins.
Hello Mike, I thank you very much for your very kind words and overly nice comments. Your words mean so very much to me coming from such a great model ship builder as yourself, Thanks.
