Fabric sails do look so much better!! Looking good buddy!

Great work. Congratulations 😉

Congratulations Joe! What a fantastic result. Will look forward to the final video

Looking good Joe ! So, are you going start the Santa Maria next ? Started working on Part 2 video of the Santa Maria today.

Looks incredible, great job!!

Wolfgang summed it up well. @wolfgangzinn 21 minutes ago Thank you very much. Yes, the choice of glue is (almost) a science. My simplest rule is: if it doesn't have to hold immediately and can dry, then white glue, especially with light-coloured yarn. For brown or black yarns, superglue often works, or if a dark discolouration of the natural yarn is not noticeable.

Great work. Congratulations

You have been busy! Sails look awesome mate :)

I'm now up to a total of nine broken threads. Ugh....Almost done!

CA glue can be very brittle, I do use CA for rigging and have not come across this issue, it could also be the cotton used, 9 times out of 10 I replace the kit cotton.

Model looks great Joe, like a previous comment my wife would roll her eyes feign interest and walk off, your a lucky man 😊

I use Starbond medium CA glue on mine without any breakages so maybe its a brand thing? Not sure

Hi, superglue makes the string hard and therefore can break.

I’ve always used stick fast brand thick super glue, on everything I build. I’ve never had an issue with it in any way. And I’ve used it on a lot of projects that have thread. Hope that helps.

I think it's better to use super glue gel. It's more flexible and I think it will not snap like that

Great. You are really lucky Looking forward to see it all done

You are a lucky man. Great to have someone who got your back

Great looking model

Lifeboats are my pain 🤣

Looks awesome

Very useful in our business

Very clean work

Looks like pretty cool project

Great work Congratulations my friend

It’s awesome that she is helping you like that. My wife’s idea of helping me is shaking her head or rolling her eyes! Lol

Great work Joe. Looks like your wife is a natural with the hitch knots. I may offer her a contract when I'm next at that stage ;)

Nice work Joe, the model looks great so far.

Great work Joe!

Nice to meet you today! Chris and Tanya

Thanks for sharing Joe. Would be great to meet Olha

Those instructions are a real blast from the past. Should make for an interesting build.

Nice work mate. my fat fingers would make a mess of that :P

Great work Joe . The boats look awesome!

Looking good. 🫡👌

Hope you survived the New York trip. 🫡😃 have fun with the lifeboats, they’re neat little extra models to build. 👌

Good job! Glad you survived!!

Planking came out really well. Great work :)

lol surviving NYC, sounds like a video game!

The smaller the boat, the harder I find planking lol

All those little details take forever to do but are soooo worth it once they are in place. Completely made me just sit and stare at them. Do you do the same after you get them in place?

Very nice work! 👍👍👍

Nice work !

My dad made the revel plastic model of the curry sark back in the 80’s. He put so much detail into it. It got destroyed years later being in a storage unit. I think that’s what got me into trying to make wooden ships. Of course (I think you already know) the USS Constitution that I got from model shipways has actually blueprints for instructions which I can’t make heads or tails of. So probably won’t ever finish it. Some day I’ll finish the Beagle. Only need to do the masts and sails and all the little details on that one. Looking great Geno!!

I’m looking forward to seeing all your kits complete, especially that Beagle, since I worked on that one but never finished it.

Holy crap buddy!! That’s a lot of model ships. Congrats on your retirement as well. Looking forward to seeing those done.

Greg, you would not believe the negative and disgusting remarks being sent to my email address in regards to this video. I was merely sharing with the community that life is good, and we all need something to make us happy in life. For me it is my new retirement and recent new found hobby. However, I am not sitting here and purchasing kits willy-nilly and flaunting greed. The two kits from Olha and Pavel were won after I entered my name in a raffle. The two OcCre kits were a retirement gift from my wife, and the two Scientific kits were also gifted to me by my friend Gary whose dad designed them. That leaves one kit that I purchased, The Marie Jeanne, which I purchased from @MicroMart with a gift card, so my flaunting comes down this...they were all gifts. It's sad when you have to defend your every action and deed.

Some nice kits Geno, enjoy your retirement, im envious ive still got a few years to go yet

Some nice kits there. Should keep you busy for a while ;)

I love these type of laser cut wood models, especially the aircraft

They are actually from to 70"s but I caught it too late. Still learning this KZbin thing and editing.
