Thank you for your flexibility in this regard, Terry. Let us see how the majority of members feel.
Thank you Rich! I knew I did not have even to ask you!
Hi John. #2 has been noted. Does this mean that I can add your name to the list?
Thank you my friend. I am so glad that you liked the review!
Rich, the payment process will be made clear and explained in detail when I make the announcement. I first need to sort out the kind of groundwork detail that we are doing right now.
After a careful review of your examination of the kit and wonderful paintings annotated by the Bluenose ballad it stirs my heart and soul in feeling the strain of the lines and sails trying to put myself in perspective at the wheel looking windward and forward along such a long and narrow greyhound of the Atlantic whether fishing or racing. It is a vision that I cannot get out of my mind and anticipation of this model so different than my present MS2130 but enhancing it from another build perspective. I only hope that with my early and growing skills I will be able to do it justice. Thank you. Rich (PT-2) The wordy philosophical crew member.
Thank you very much for your contribution, Daniel. The payment process will be made clear and explained in detail when I make the announcement. As I said to Rich, I first need to sort out the kind of groundwork detail that we are doing right now.
@donfarr Don, your vote for #2 is in!
@Virtakuono Thank you for your kind words re the review and the kit. Does this mean that I must add your name to the list?
Rich I love philosophical. That is why I have thrown this review over a completely different tack. I am very glad to hear that it has inspired you!
Heinrich I have just received plans for a steam drifter, so i am not sure at the moment, but she is a beautiful kit and the wood colours are wonderful, so will have to wait and see,Hi John. #2 has been noted. Does this mean that I can add your name to the list?
Oh, I really like that quotation regarding adjusting our sails. . . like bamboo bending in the wind and water flowing around rocks but moving onwards. Rich (PT-2)
From the good critique of how to get the transom name onto the transom between the main and monkey rails, from the old photos it appears as it was consistently painted and not carved in or with raised letters. It is hard for me to envision how to tightly wrap and set a stencil there to avoid paint bleed-out underneath. It seems that we are still looking for a good solution unless we can shrink a sign painter who is skilled in lettering and emblems. A related problem remains for the bow name but on that surface it seems more easily solved. Still considering the options and probably a solution will emerge as the actual build is at that point of finishing. If a decal material could be used in a matt finish and not the glossy it would sit back better. Perhaps finishing this part of the hull with overcoats of a matt clear finish, or semi-gloss as the builder desires would work. Which would possibly not work with an oiled finish of the Pear wood. Other ideas?? Rich (PT-2)
