Superb work, Michael.

I am in awe of the way that you have organized the work, your methods of construction, and the precision of your craft.

We are indeed fortunate to have you and some of the other ne plus ultra craftspeople and artists participating in this Forum.

Asuperb start (well more than that) I wish I had the ability to produce a decent dock for building things. I look forward to more.

You've really gotten the tube rolling down to a fine art! I do enjoy your pure paper modeling.

Thanks Don: You provided a lot of nice comments and motivation when I began my first project on this site. You are still doing it and I appreciate it.

Thanks Barry: The woodwork is not too difficult. I provided some details about it earlier in the thread.

Thanks Chris: Good to hear from you.

Thanks Jim: I'll be sneaking in some wooden mast pieces later on, but I'll always let you know when I use substitutes for paper or card.

Mike that is a pretty cradle and a pretty design to boot. The hull seams look great and you are progressing nicely! ( I'm afraid no progress at all on the Tuft, but will update you when I get back to it...) This is a great looking project.

Hello Glen: Thanks and good to get word from you. I have been keeping my eyes open for your "barquentine". We are all waiting for her.

Thanks Carl: Plenty of work on the hull still ahead. This is a wonderful ship to be working on. The hull frame design is exquisite.

Thanks Orazio: I appreciate your highly motivating comments ........ all the way from Italy!
