[pianoforte]

Congratulations Donnie, despite all the adversities and obstacles, you have beautifully navigated around all the pitfalls. It has become a very beautiful model.

Nice work Donnie, Congratulations, do you have plans for a next project after this, Happy New Year, regards Knut-

 

[dockattner]

I'll add my congratulations to everyone else's. You have built a beautiful model that you should be proud of. While you may see it's wrinkles we see a finished product that any one of us would be proud to display in our home. The clean construction and careful use of color resulted in a real beauty. Bravo!

Hello Donnie

Congratulations on this beautiful model. I am already curious what will be built next.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Great looking ship build, and most folks would never know anything about your step modification not being part of the plan.

Keep up the work, you are a inspiration to some of us less knowledgeable builders.

 

[Peter Voogt]

My compliments for this result. Despite all the struggles, you continued and you have a result that is worth seeing. With beautiful personal solutions.
Regards, Peter

 

[Donnie]

Sincerely, I thank you all and am humbled by the compliments and likes. I am going to take a break for a few months I think. However, I have some thoughts in mind about my next build. I do have the Belle Poole now, - however, it is a toss-up as I am also thinking of something completely different like the Chaperon Steam Boat (which seems to be a straightforward build) and it is different from all the others I have built. Or even going with one of the Model Expo's "Airways model"

The POF world is not very big. For whatever reason, these kits are hard to find. Thanks for posting.

 

[STGCS]

Another masterpiece. Great build Donnie.

Donnie,

Superb work!! congrats....

 

[Kurt Konrath]

The Airways models are good, but I also like the different guns and cannons, and support items, carriages and such for field artillery and such.

Kind of still related to weapons used on ship, and still military related. I have done aircraft in models and real life, and look for something else.

bonjour Donnie
A votre avis quel est le kit de meilleure qualité entre le druide et la belle poule ?
merci gerard

 

[Undersea4me]

Awesome job, Donnie!

 

[The learner]

Thank you all for the kind words. I am now working on closing up the Stern. This is the last frame of the stern pieces. Thank goodness.
There is a little more sanding to do, but I just stopped long enough to take some pics. What I dislike the most are those dang spacer blocks. I hate them.

Do the Spacers remain or as the build progresses they are removed?

 

[Ptèr]

Congrats Donnie. What a great log and a beauty of a ships she has become. Loved the log you put up, like so many before, full with details for others to follow.

regards,
Peter

[Donnie]

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Yes, The Learner, the spacers stay in (they will get covered up).
