| Thank you Luke, this is when the eyeball comes in contact with the build everytime I finsh a sequence in the build I set the model down and just stare at it like as if you were in a trance. pretty soon you will see a flaw ot two or somwthing you forgot to add to the build it works for me all the time. A good rule of thumb is if it dont look right tear it now and start over you will regret later when the build is painted and finished Also when youtake pictures of your build they will tell on youto specially when thr trained eye looks for faults or something sticks out like a sore thumb. thanks Luke for your reply I am honered my Friend Boats |

| We woke up this morning and I showed my wife the five pages. She could not believe the beautiful ships, and the size! I expalined the difference between someone with a passion and a dabbler. I did paint by numbers, and there was this other guy named Rembrandt. I have the plans, the tools and hopefully enough time. She isn't that big, but I just noticed the wing scoops in my A-26 that aren't there yet! |

| Boats, what were the modifications from the plans that you did ? I'm building the Guillows kit and I'm also considering some fairly drastic mods. |

My next door neighbor helps load her up on the boat trailor I was on channel 7 news when i first had her out for sea trials when i was on the news it was the hieght of my life i never had so much attention My models are my life i cant live without them i know some day they will go another direction where i am going but perhaps some day befor my gray sails wear out they will have a happy home to go to. Heree she is fellas |

| Three feet and nine inches! I am telling you this would look great in that pond with all the sailboats! Batten down all hatches, stow all gear and prepare to ram! That bow could be modified or at least beefed up with some A36 steel plate, put an edge on it, get the old girl up to a few knots and lets see what chance that plastic hull has with Force = Mass X Acceleration. You have the mass and with enough power that other variable goes in the right direction. Gotta go, need to move some nuclear Fuel here. That gives me another idea! |

| BrianKilby Like all steel hulled ships of this era, they were concidered the first ships of the modern Navy they were successors of the civil war Iron clads they had back then, at one time in our history the great white fleet represented the power of America a Nation to Recon with. thanks for your reply Boats |
| deckape, Comment for image # 22300 | 21 Apr 11 10:39 |
| Ahoy Luke she is 3ft long and 9 inch,s in width. After the Spanish american war she was used as a objest sentimentle durring the second worls war she was used as a amunition hulk she was sold to japan and was being towed and she sank all is left is her mast and anchor. still exist today |

| when was the first modern steel ship? |
| lukebozek1, Comment for image # 22300 | 21 Apr 11 07:09 |
| This is a beautiful build. I have an Italian kit of an America's Cup Racer in storage so long I can't remember the name, but I probably should see if th emice got into it. This is inspirational. I do remember it sank off Sable Island. You should start your own museum. How big is this ship? |
