Incredible detail work. The precision of your wood working is truly impressive but I’ve nothing but admiration for anyone capable of doing that level of rigging and thread work. I lack the stability and dexterity of hand and finger and the eye sight required (even when aided) to attempt such intricate work. Ultimately I also lack the mental calm required. I’m pretty sure after 45 minutes of effort I'd take a hammer to the whole thing.

Beautiful work!

If the picture you posted of a tiger-2 (P) is 1/35, I am dueing it with the full interior from amusing hobbys--tiger-1 (P).

I can't go any futher on the Norsky Love, until the sails are sown.

The Tiger 2 picture is not a post - just part of disastermaster's signature line.

Hi!

        Yeah! because of bad moldings there some Bluenoses out there that do NOT have the step in the deck. Some are pretty fair, but like you I chose wood. She sold as soon as my neighbor saw her done! And I hadn't really planned on selling her. The old saying is true though "Money Talks." Loudly! when you are only making 275 a week after taxes. Man, how'd we ever make through those times?

       That's where the distractions come in! Building a wooden ship is like playing a symphony when you have the right kit.  Very relaxing if you go slow, and it slows your heartbeat down too! Good luck and I'll bet she'll be just as beautiful as your other, "Distractions" ! I even built a Mississippi River Steamer one time out of cardboard(Not Cardstock now) but plain old cardboard. She was Bounty Paper Towels Scale!

       That because I used their inside cardboard rolls for the stacks. She came out about seven foot long with Flat Toothpick Window Frames and Handrails of Flat and Round Toothpicks! She's probably not even around anymore!
