    That's Very funny! I did some rough calculations and a single card would cover an area about 4x my property. I think my neighbors would not approve of a whole deck...

    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
    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.

    Manderin ducks for cover. Because ducks float

    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.

    Just watched your video clip on Suz Blog. Coming along nicely. Just wish we could still get decent Mahogany easily over here.

    This is much more difficult than the small ships.

    Looks like a 3D jigsaw puzzle with no pictures Vol.

    Yes a whole different ballgame and with Chinese instructions too! I have a stack of 15mm scale (1/100) Great Lakes ships I will get to someday. The trouble is they are just big enough to be more like a ship model similar to this one! I even ordered blocks and such from Model Expo. Always been tempted by their Model Shipways kits, a project for retirement!

    A stack Dobbs? I think a stack of these things would shorten my life due to stress!
