Coming along quite nicely, David! Railings can be a bear to set up, but I'd say you have handled it quite well, mate. Looking better and better with each step. Cheers! Jim

I have to agree, that's a real sweet looking boat! Great job! Sure looks a lot better than the picture shown at the download shop! Also seems to have a bit more involved rigging than that picture depicts. Were the top masts rolled paper/card or something else? I usually like to roll the...

Ditto on Russell's comments...this is one of the outstanding models we have been treated to on this forum...and one of the better modelers we have the good fortune to see in build threads! I said it in the thread and I'll say it again, this is an outstanding bit of work! Congratulations...

Ski, my sincerest condolences to you and your family for your loss...you are in my thoughts and prayers. You are doing a superb job on this build...it is excellent so far, but we've seen this high standard of build from you before so I can't say I'm surprised at all.:grin: I admire anyone...

Hi, Longshaor!:) I haven't seen a build thread on this kit yet on any of the forums, having done only a brief check, but the reviews mention it has a lot of parts. Have you built any of the JSC carriers before? If so, and since you have a number of ships under your belt already, I would...

What an excellent job you did in building the USS Card! She came out beautifully! Your build of the small aircraft is quite extraordinary as well; they came out great. I love the way you displayed your build on a sea base, quite impressive and well done. I am looking forward to your next...

Excellent job on the hull, Andrew! She's a beaut! Carl's right, you're off to a wonderful start on this build with a nice, neat looking hull...and a big one at that! This will obviously be the center of attention in any room when done. Looking forward to more as you continue with this...

Wow, an outstanding job, Flu! Always a treat to see your builds...not sure how I missed some of this thread until now. I've been rather busy, but this is one of a number of excellent ship build threads going on that are a delight to see! You have made superb use of the photo etched set to...

Hi, Michal! She is looking very good, mate. The process or method by which wooden ship planks are measured and fitted on a hull is called "spiling." It's actually a simple concept, but one that is sometimes difficult to explain in words. Here is a link to a webpage that discusses how it is...

Wotcher, bazzer! Just keeps getting bigger and better, mate! I look forward to seeing what you and John put together on the lift details. Just curious...where do you put her when you're not working on her?:grin: Cheers! Jim

Wow, I'm really speachless...which, if you know me, is quite a feat!:grin: Thanks so much! I hadn't noticed it when I logged on earlier this morning, getting my daughter ready for her first time in a parade on Memorial Day as part of the elementary school marching band (she plays the...

That looks really good, John! As a wannabe eventual ship model designer, I would love to know how you designed this model, if you would be so kind as to explain your process. Hope you post more updates as you go along. Cheers! Jim

Looking really good, David! I like the way you have presented the build pictures, and I am looking forward to your updates. Cheers! Jim

Wotcher, bazzer! Minor setbacks, if that, mate! I've yet to see you fail to overcome ANY minor problem in your designs and am very confident you will see this one through to it's marvelous conclusion as well...honestly, I don't see the glitches here at all...surely nothing that you can't...

Wot ho, bazzer!:) I just realized how HUGE this is going to be...both in size and in importance as a ship model design. Bazzer, you have really taken your model design to a whole new plane, perhaps two levels or more up from your prior gems. Judging from your photos I don't think the 1mm...

Thanks, Bill! That would be a nice model to build to be displayed along side my M.V. Krefeld. http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3172 And maybe a slightly enlarged Currell Titanic?:grin: Cheers! Jim

Bill, did you figure out the scale of the United States as enlarged by Kenilworth? David, you are right, PMI is a class group...did the catalog give the scales for the micromodels? Just wondering if my guesstimate for HMS Victory of 1/600 is about right or not. Jim

Hi, David: I ordered the Kenilworth Press HMS Victory and got the same result...merely an enlarged version of the original Micromodels design. Frankly, the print could have been enhanced, I think, with a bit more detail at this scale, which I might do myself anyway. I would like to eventually...

Great job on the formers, mate! I can see the extreme flare of the bow suggested by the formers, this will be an interesting area to skin. Keep at it mate, this is an impressive design! Cheers! Jim

Wotcher, bazzer! You might hate doing the propellers but they came out great! I prefer waterline hulls, but this build shows why full hulls are spectacular models. Great job on the mast ladder, mate! What is so impressive about this build is you are building it from scratch...truly a...
