Well at least the hull is paper, the wood shipbuilder's do wonderful work but they can't say that. Also any excuse to use my lathe, cannon, ect. I am happy enough to say "yeah, I made those" however I'm drawing the line on a three masted vessel regarding blocks in 1/96!:mrgreen:

Just a beautiful build and so huge! Have been enjoying watching this one Eib

As I had to be reminded recently "this ain't a race, Glen." Dave I've been at the fabric stores trying to find scale lines, black and natural colors in many thicknesses, although scale size for cleo is 1.2 mm for the largest line, the mainstay(the other lines go down to .1mm!). I'm buying all...

This ship looks great. I think you have done a nice job on this!

Right, but seriously this is very helpful! The options are wide open for making a "museum quality" ship model, a hull model or a simpler ship model. Any way you do it since the fit is terrific the results can be satisfying I think.:wave:

Help?! I've been looking for those pics for months! I'd come over there and give you a hug if it was ok with my wife, well thankful handshake anyhow, many thanks Elliott!:thumb:

work on bow, fish davit not completed but thrown in to show. I have about 1/2 the cannon done, but not rigged so working on various little things, may not show much on the ship overall, but help progress toward the goal http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee248/birdergv/IMG_2090.jpg :wave:

Thanks Guys!! This is a great kit and a fun project, but is requiring me to study since have been doing aircraft for 10 years. I wish I could see Larry Maxwell's build do any of you have any pictures saved of that one? I am posting at a couple forums as will need help with the masting and...

I've been building Cleo for 2 months now, and approaching hull completion with fittings, but lots to do yet! http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee248/birdergv/formerskeel.jpg http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee248/birdergv/covering3.jpg...

Congratulations on this creative project! Must be rather satisfying to be doing this one, Pashlisphat

Josef, thank you for teaching us so much with this ship. I was wondering, did you treat the main deck in a similar manner shown as the small forward deck? Your work is wonderful, no one will believe it's paper!

Wow, thanks for such a wonderful build thread, have been enjoying this, and although no shipbuilding myself I have enjoyed Barry's and Carl's ships. This is a wonderful build and inspiration for us builders! The extra size is fitting, as with Barry's Tarawa as it adds to the majesty and...
