H.M.S. Enterprize 1774 1:48 - Modelship Dockyard by Corsair Build Log

A friend of mine says that getting old is not for the weak
And Bette Davis said getting old is not for sissies!! :) :) One of the sad things is that once our generation is out of here, ship modeling may be over. I hope I am totally wrong but would love to have a poll of the ages of the 28K members. I think the youngest member at the ship modeling club I attend is about 70.
 
Progress however slight is still progress!

All climbers reach the top of Everest, one step at a time. It's the amount of time between steps that determines the duration of the climb!

Build on, at your own pace, enjoy the process, and we will be glad to see your progress!!
 
I'm still here and have not abandoned this. :)
Progress is VERY slow due to my vision problems, I get a headache any time i concentrate on something for even a short time. So, I glue a few pieces before I quit. I'm still working on the fore platform. Ledges are almost done. I got some different wood to use for decking which I need to cut down. :) I'll probably post a picture when I finish the ledges. :)
I'm still watching, Jeff. Hang in there. I'm in the same boat, (so to speak ;) ) and everything age related makes it's mark.Two or three rows of ratlines and I have to walk away. But the project is worth it, so keep at it and we will keep watching.
 
Hi Jeff, first of all I wish you a very Happy Birthday Birthday-Cake .
You are doing a great job on the Enterprize. I am always impressed by a PoF build.
Let this year be a year of improved health, wish you all the best.
