Superb looking hull, mate! I'm not sure I would call them boards, perhaps hull plates? If they were above the main deck I'd call them bulwarks. When you write "bulleyes" are you referring to the portholes, perhaps? I wonder if you could provide a close up picture of them, sounds like...

We'll be here, waiting for more photos of this awesome build, Jasco.:grin: Cheers! Jim

That really came out great, Padre! Very nicely done!! Thanks for sharing photos of your build, I enjoyed seeing your work. Cheers! Jim

Now that looks great! I'm glad you made the adjustments, they do make a big difference. Excellent work! Cheers! Jim

Once again, an awesome accomplishment, Chris! I am loving this build! More when you can, mate! Cheers! Jim

Very spectacular build, Padre! What's that awesome battleship in the background on the bookshelf? Looks like Pennsylvania.... Thanks for posting this build, it's excellent! Cheers! Jim

Superb job, eibwarrior! Not too sure about that scale issue on the barrels...I have a few photos that are a bit inconclusive, by my eyes...but, those are my bad eyes, so judge for yourself.:grin: I'm going by the deck structures in checking the barrel lengths, comparing the photos with the...

A fantastic build, Chris! You are creating a true masterpiece in this build, and I can't wait to see the next update! Cheers! Jim

Thank you for the replies! As I said, an amazing bit of work on that deck, it looks fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more when you can. Cheers! Jim

Wotcher, bazzer!:) Bit by bit, railing by railing, your masterful creation gets better and better.... Keep those updates coming, mate! Cheers! Jim

Quite an extraordinary bit of work!:) I love the way the deck came out, and would like to hear a bit more about what you did. You say you used the back of your modeling knife to etch the deck, I take it you etched the seams between each plank, is that right? What type of paint did you...

Very glad to see you at her again! Now she's beginning to get some teeth.:grin: Can't wait to see those 20 mm guns. As always, looking forward to seeing the next update, when you can. Cheers! Jim

Wotcher, bazzer!:) While it might seem to you that it's a bit tedious to make the rails, it does make a big difference in how she looks...and it is certainly exciting to us to see any update on this beautiful lady. Keep at it, mate! Cheers! Jim

My father always told me, "if you use the right tools, the job gets done easier and faster". Funny how we often need to be reminded of this.:grin: Seriously, good one! I am looking forward to seeing the hull plating go on next. Cheers! Jim

As well you should be, bazzer! I'm glad I finally found this thread...just couldn't find it early on. I'd say this is probably one of the best hulls I've seen, even with the potentially complex shape of the underwater parts that seem to always warp along the glued joints at the formers. I...

Wotcher, bazzer! Really looking good...glad you found a thread material you are happy with...although I pray you don't get in trouble taking the tops off of your wife's tights.:-o Keep the updates coming, mate, we always love to see how this lady is coming along. Cheers! Jim

Looks like another winner from papertigerarmaments! Very nicely done, guys! Cheers! Jim

Thanks again, guys! I'm really glad you are all enjoying the progress I've been making on this little lady. I'm sure it's not all what you say it is, but I do appreciate the very generous comments. I was able to work in the port hammock nettings and now they are all done! Same drill as...
