    This is one of your smartest looking ships yet, Vol. I wish Rory was still around to comment. I expect he'd be bouncing off the walls in admiration.

    Thanks Jim, and thank you for the rep points. Yes I think Rory would have liked this. I sure miss talking with him about ships.

    And thank you Rob and Eric for the kind comments.

    Tonight I started the laser cut wooden schooner my daughter gave me for Christmas. The Chinese instructions are kicking my butt! LOL

    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    That is more clamps than I can muster at that size Vol.
    Mine seem to have got lost or succumbed to disintegration over the years much like me.

    Are you using Google to try and translate any of the Chinese? I suppose copy and paste isn't an option from the printed directions? I do know that Google can translate Mandarin but not Cantonese.
