Excellent job. Very well done.

She was robbed north of $160,000. I'm going to have her live with me while she struggles through this.

My daughter was taken advantage of by a bit coin scammer. She has lost more than everything. FBI is looking into it, but they have already lost all credibility. She is now basically a slave trying to get herself out of the mess she is in and there is no end in sight. Don't ever get into bit...

I did some careful measuring, and given the size of chain I found from the molded deck, I think I'll go with what I can make. I will try some other tricks to get the chain more realistic. Thank you very much for your assistance Vic, much appreciated.

I agree, your chain would be perfect and yes, please send. I just have a hard time imagining a chain that small. We are talking about a chain that can go through the eye of a needle. I have never come across a chain that small.

So this is what my chain looks like at this point. From a little distace it looks ok. What do you guys think?

Thanks Vic, I like that idea, but I will need to put that in later as experience with fiddly bits tells me that now is not the time unless I feel inclined to repeat reattachment frequently.

I did forget to mention, I came up with an idea with attaching lines around the masts. I put a ring around the base of each mast of styrene. The thinnest EZ line I have attaches easily if I add a few nicks into this styrene. Will show this later when I get to that point.

Ok, where to begin. First I did some airbrushing and fit testing to see how things came together. At first I accepted that there were going to be some size issues, I just needed to see first what went together and how it looked overall. I determined that the deck didn't fit too well so I...

Well I have good news and bad news. First the bad news. I spent some time researching this ship and the first thing I figured out is this is not the Cutty Sark. I feel bummed about it. There is no figure head and the railing around the deck is all wrong. Even the deck layout is all...

Ok, time to get back to work. It has been an interesting month. First our water main broke and that repair cost a couple of pretty pennies. Then our AC went out the following week and I ended up changing out the entire system, going from two units to one. A few more pretty pennies...

Oddly enough no. She brought wool from Australia to England.

With his pony pal Pokey. You should have seen the reaction when Wojtek first told us where he got his string.

For those who are curious, here are a couple of the crew. At the moment they are feeling a little... flat.

I forgot to mention, the kit does come with a small spool of black line for the simplest of rigging.
