Scorpio, Simply Amazing! Consider this my Standing Ovation! Absolutely beautiful, congratulations! Max

Great Job so far "Captain" Rob! Welcome to the Paper Navy! Enjoying watching your build! The Yamato's a BEAUTY! Brings back memories of Cleo's beginings..! She's in Dry Dock right now for repairs (thanks, Marty!) but will be back in the works again soon. (Knock on wood!) I know what...

Jim, Yea, been pretty quiet. Sorry. The latest news.......First Mate Marty seems to have taken a liking to Cleo.....she pretty well chewed off the capstan and tore up some of the other stuff on the deck.....Looks like Cleo needs to make her way to dry dock for a few repairs! More to...

Simply Incredible! :o

Hey BugBrains! Nice job on the hull! Just had a look at your pics in the gallery. I, too, found it necessary to use putty to fill up imperfections in the hull on Cleopatra. Paper, it seems, just has a hard time maintaining nice lines between bulkheads and you end up with the "starving...

Hello Gang! Bet you're all wondering where I got off to, eh! Well, I've been very busy, as I'm sure you all are! and haven't had much if any time to work on poor Cleo! But, now, with the SMA Convention coming up next weekend (last wknd in April) on the Queen Mary, I've been more...

Looks good, so far, Alfred. Welcome, Captain, to the Paper Navy! Thanks for taking the helm on the "to build a ship" front for a little bit while I procrastinate away! It's great to watch these beauties come together! Keep up the good work! Max Captain and Missing In Action HMS...

Thank You Ron! :D Max

Well, to BOTH of you Jims, Thank You! I'm glad everybody is enjoying Cleo as much as I am. What an honor last night to meet and speak with some of the Masters of our craft at the IPMS meeting! Jim Nunn, David Okamura, Peter Crow, and Dan from Delta 7 Studios. It was sooooo cool to see some...

Hello again everybody! I'm really sorry for not posting for so long. We're remodeling here at the Maxfield Shipyard and it just sucks up sooooo much of my spare time that there's not much time (or energy) to build on Cleo when I'm finished! I DID make myself get up EXTRA early this morning...

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, SCORPIO. :D You've blown me away! Max Capatin, HMS Cleopatra Paper Navy of the Bear Flag Republic

Oh Rooonnnnyyyyy!!!!??? We're waiting for some Piiicccttuuurreeesss!!!!

Hey gang. As to the question about the "Illustration Board". What I have been using is "Crescent No. 200 Hot Press Illustration Board". The "Hot Pressed" part means the board is rolled through heated rollers when it is being pressed...this give the drawing surface a very smooth surface...as...

Ahoy...! All hands on deck! This is your Captain speaking! It's Saturday evening March 13. We're still working on getting the rest of the old posts put back, but I thought I'd go ahead and post a progress report from the work (YES, I was actually able to spend some time with Cleo today!)...

Origninally Posted Mon Feb 16, 2004 6:08 pm Good Morning All, Just a couple of shots of the progress on the bulwark caps this moring. The caps of the aft upper deck had white "location markers" on them for the handrail supports and more bits, but I've colored over all of them to insure...
