Thanks for all then nice words, guys! As to the rolled sail! I may need to re-roll it! I happened to be in the (ahem!) "Library" here at work yesterday when I came across a much better material for the sail! Right now, it's made from tissue paper (like used for wrapping gifts)...it's...

OK Gang. Boat 2, Completed! I'll tie her down later, when the other boats are finished and in place. Back to building! On to boat 3! Max Captain, HMS Cleopatra Paper Navy of the Bear Flag Republic

thanks for the tip Renaud. You should post some pictures of your models. I'd really like to see the hulls you produce with your method. Here's a shot of the inside of Boat #2. I've been busy detailing it a little more that called out in the kit! (Somebody HELP ME! I CAN'T STOP!)...

Here are a few more pics of todays progress building Cleo's Boats. On Boat #2 this morning. This shot shows the hull after "skinning". I decided to paint the brick red panels white to conceal myriad alignment errors and gaps by my attempts at planking. Should have done it on the first...

OK. 4:30 and I just finished planking. Been doing a few other things too, but working on it off and on all afternoo. Here's what it looks like. Sorry, kind of an overexposed picture. I'll get a better one later...have to go to a party now! :D Max

Good Saturday Morning card modeling fans! Good news on the Jury Duty front! The Defense Attourney "thanked and dismissed" me from the jury! The Prosecutor had just accepted the jury as seated! Phwew! That was close. I'm sure it would have been interesting, but, frankly, I'm glad I...

Jim, I did mount the bulkhead pieces to 1mm card stock. I made a small effort to fair the edges at the fore and aft ends where the most curvature is...but at this tiny of a size (note, this boat is about 1 3/4" long) I'm not sure it really makes much difference. I was pleased to find...

Thanks for the suggestion Caldwel....I'll check it out. Last night I got started on the ships Boats, well, one of them anyway! These aren't particularly difficult, but the fact that they're so danged SMALL! makes the parts kind of difficult to cut out...especially the smallest bulkhead...

Thanks Jim! I fixed the image problem.....seems I've run out of space on the server! YIKES.....NOW I've got a problem! I went through and cleaned out a few obsolete images to make a little room, for now...but, that's only a band-aid! I NEED MORE ROOM! MAX

Good Morning All, I was able to get a little built last night. I got the Boat Racks assembled and installed. I've just lightly tacked them down for now. I want to get the boats built and position them before I commit the racks to their final position. I'm looking forward to building...

Ladders Finished Here are a couple of shots of the completed ladders. I had to cut the two aft ladders down by one rung as they were too tall. Got the first 3 of 4 boat supports installed. Have a great day! I'm off to work!

CLEO'S BACK!!!! Hi Gang! It's been so long I almost feel I need to re-introduce myself.....and my beloved HMS Cleopatra! OK, I won't!....just feels that way! I have Great News! My wife, Janine, and I have just booked a cruise (a little "fun trip" down the coast to Baja Mexico for 4...

Greg, Sorry, that was my bad! I forgot a tiny bit of the address of the pic's location when I typed it in. (thanks Rick!) It's fixed now, and if you hit your "refresh" button (or F5) you should be able to see the pics now. Max, having a "Doh" moment!

Captain Greggory, Welcome to the Paper Navy! I am about to get a lot of responses from mostly frustrated followers of the "To Build A Ship...HMS Cleopatra" thread, as I have been sooooo long absent from posting anything about her build! I ask everyones forgiveness and a tiny bit more...

Guys! Thanks for the cat humor! I take solace in the fact that I have an 18 year old son with a sense of humor (however misplaced) and Marty in now sporting a "Mohawk" courtesy of my sons latest hair dye treatment! Beware Marty, Karma's a bit@#!!! Haven't even had a chance to think...
