Oh Boy! Here we go again!

When are you gonna get modern? You know we need a fine Clipper by you. You're work is superb, But, I've grown somewhat jaded where Warships are concerned. I would love to see an " Extreme Clipper" come out of your shop. Flying Cloud anyone?

Hello! This looks a bit like a production line! So what's the names of those beauties? Some commentary would do your pictures really good!

Good luck with your builds and have a nice day

Well in the picture at the top of this page it says Essex & Serapis.  And the therd one is a Spanish gallion.   I perchased two Airacopia kits on ebay that were incompleat, trash.  the Essex had no build plans, and the Serapis had 1 of 4.  So I tore pages out of a book on American war ships, and inlarged them for the Essex.  I had perchased reduced scale plans for the Serapis on ebay, and I inlarged them to the size of the 1 page in the kit.  The Spanish gallion is a compleat kit from Billing Boats, but the ribs are so asometrick that I made new ribs, and added the lower gun deck.  Hope this helps a little Pawel.

Hello Santa!

Thanks a lot for the info! It's not that I needed help here, like I could live without the details, but I find what you wrote very interesting, so again, thanks a lot. Like I wrote before, I find the photos you post very interesting, but with even a little comments they get even more interesting!

I once have had a kit by Artesania Latina - it needed a lot of work to be good...

I thought Billing Boats is a better company - from what you write they are probably not much better. I'm glad you've got that one under control. Good luck with your ships and have a nice day
