Totally cool! Loved the man in space program and this sure brings it back! Can't wait, and many thanks! Chris

Green or not, problems or not, I think it came out quite well! I was getting discouraged of ever attempting this one myself, but seeing how well yours came out, I may get it done someday! Congratulations! Chris

Like you, I bought this one before the store went down. It looks like it builds up into a very nice model and I'm really looking forward to watching your build. And I certainly don't blame you for taking your time on this one. I had a good look at the parts and I was a bit worried about how some...

Very nice job, Peter. I like this series; you make me want to dig these out and give them a try! I'm trying to remember the others in the series. I know there is a styracosaurus, but I can't remember others offhand? Chris

Congratulations, Greg. It looks like a fine job. I know you're not going to do the rigging, (believe me I understand completely), but it sure would finish the model off nicely. Overall, what would you say was the single most challenging aspect of the kit? Chris

Sorry, here's PMI; http://www.papermodels.net/index.html Go to search the catalog, then look under ships on the left and then Passenger ships. Chris

I just pulled this one out of the pile over the weekend, thinking I might actually start my submarine kit collection. Looking forward to your findings on the build! Best of luck! Chris

Just looked at the Paper Model International site. they have a number of paddleweelers in the passenger ship section, including the Great Eastern. Chris

It looks like PaperModelWorld still has the special, ABC Special #3, in stock. http://www.papermodelworld.net/ Click on "ABC" on the left column, then the photo of the Jules Verne special in the lower right. It's a bit steep at $24.50, but you do get seven paper models. I think you'll want to...

Here's the James Watt that was part of the ABC 2000 special; I really love the proportions on this one. I believe it was originally released in a larger format years earlier by Albatros Publishing? Anyone have info on that? Chris

Looks good! Great inspiration and maybe it'll get me off my duff about these sailing ships! Thanks for all the info. Chris

Fantastic! What an impressive piece of work! And tanks for the page of upgrades as well. Congratulations on a wonderful piece of modeling. Chris

Looking better and better! I look forward to your observations on the fit! Chris

You've got to keep going, Greg! Think of all the poor, unfortunate modelers your helping...well, me anyway! This is exactly the kind of thing I suspected would be an issue with this and other MM kits. I know they can be made to look very good, if not fantastic. But I suspect there's a real...

Yes, that stern does look like a potential hiccup in the works. Is that an actual open space I see in the fit between the stern piece and the hull, or is it just a former or white paper? Chris

Looks to be coming along very nicely! (furiously scribbling notes) The fit on the planking looks good so far. No short end pieces or other traditional MM issues? Chris

I'll definitely be watching this one! I have a short stack of MM sailing ships and this is one near the top. Please mention ALL the little quirks you run into a long the way for the rest of us that may follow your footsteps one day! And best of luck on getting this one done to your liking. I'm...

This looks like a great build and your additional custom pieces really make a difference. Thanks for sharing your techniques! Chris

This looks like it's coming together beautifully. I almost strated this one last month, but real life said no. I love the raised rivets on the cover photos on this one, but as you point out, they aren't very realistic. I look forward to the rest of your build on this one. Please post plenty of...

Your work is exemplary. True craftsmanship in paper modeling and your photo coverage is very helpful for those of us that hope to someday be in the same league! Many thanks for sharing this build. Chris
