I am glad that the small gun captain inspecting the work moved out of the way so that his feet and legs were not runover with the recoil celebratory salute! Nicely done. RIch (PT-2)NIce up-ticking on your part. Rich (PT-2)

Thank you, Mon Amie!My hands start itching looking at your puctures, but I still have a lot to do before being at that stage.
Many thanks, Stephan! If anyone curious why SOS is really popular among others forum - because we share the knowledge (no secrets). Today you learn from my build log, tomorrow I will learn from yours! Isn't it great!!Read all, good advice in the build, and learned a lot on how to do things. Great build and will follow this with great interest![]()
Hallo Jim,No worries, Rich!
1) The AOTS stands for Anatomy Of The Ship. This is series of books about a particular ship. It is a kinda monograph, similar to ANCE publication, however doesnt comes with separate printed plans. All plans inside the book. Check this out.
Anatomy of the Ship series - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Peter Goodwin wrote the book 'The Naval Cutter Alert 1777' is part of this series. I use this book as the reference for my build

2) IMHO In My Humble Opinion![]()
Many thanks, Uwe! I think it is a brilliant idea. Since you make a book review, the cost and value of this book went rocket high. At some places it sells for more than $500.00Hallo Jim,
maybe it is a good place to show the members also the review of this very helpfull book, especially for the modelers building this kit model of the HMS Alert
They are not selling - they are offering for this amount - but every day a stupid modeler is bornMany thanks, Uwe! I think it is a brilliant idea. Since you make a book review, the cost and value of this book went rocket high. At some places it sells for more than $500.00
No kidding, Stephan. I bought this book (used) for $35.00 I guess if they buy it for 100.00 - it is in demand...Pricewar
The first one is a new book, second hand in list is 100 dollar more
thank you for the clarification Wikipedia link about the series. I'll look at more closely now. RichHallo Jim,
