Hi Richard, Simply beautiful. Jesse

Hi Marc, Superbe ! Jesse

Hi Marc, VERY impressive, it's the nicest one I've seen yet. BRAVO ! Jesse

Hi Marc, Thanks for the comments, working on the Discovery and proving to be a bit of a challenge. Next two in line are the Great Western and Great Eastern. Very weird story about that one. Jesse Thanks Richard. Jesse

Real cool collection, love the diversity of them. Jesse

Thanks, noted. Jesse

Thanks Rich, very kind. Jesse

Thanks Orion, now you gonna make me blush... Jesse

Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply, that site is very good, found one I did not know about. I agree, sail power will take more & more space, one can not deny the virtue of the applications, especially the cost to run these with fuel. Jesse

Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. As for scratch building, I never was into it on a large scale, I do appreciate very much the ones that do it, and the ones you do, I have been gathering tools for plastic for the last 30 years or so. I much prefer big ships, the bigger the better, space is no concern, I have some that are 90cm long so imagine scratch building those, it would take a major investment in tools only not counting the rest of it. Added the Alabama on my hunt list. Regards, Jesse

Hummm, wait for it, there are usually something waiting around the corner... Thanks for the info, I will try this for sure, if you dont mind, I'll drop you a PM when I'll be ready so you can tell what I need to buy. Jesse

Drooling all over my desk here ... Would love to see how you did the lighting arrangement. Jesse

Been trying for a few months to gather a collection of dual power ships, I may be close to having most of them (plastic). Here is the list that I have so far. Great Western Great Eastern Nippon Maru Harriet Lane Amerigo Vespucci Discovery 1901 Kearsarge Napoleon Susquehanna Pourquoi Pas Please let me know if I'm missing some of them, I have not been building ships for a very long time, so you know this much better than me. Thanks & regards, Jesse

Hi Beefy, Outstanding! Just to think that these guys spent hours on end in those is a feat by itself. Jesse

Thanks, but no need for the photos, I had some from a friend that was there a few years back. Jesse

looking real good Jesse

Thanks man. Jesse

Outstanding Steve Jesse

Looking real nice, one of my future projects, following this. Jesse

Thanks Roberto. Jesse

Bonjourno Roberto, Thanks for your comments. All is getting better now, the cast is off her leg and she is in physio now. See post ''real bad day''. Come April we will probably spend a few weeks in your country, Rome, Venise, Pompéi, should be great. Jesse

Thanks Billy. Jesse

Thanks invidia. Jesse

Hi Hans, Thank you for the kind words, she is getting quite rare, they made one at 1/100 scale, but that one is impossible to find, last week I found her sister ship Kaiwo Maru at 1/100 but, in the US, but after almost convincing them to send it, but USPS refused because of its size, and having it sent by UPS would have made the shipping cost ridiculous. Jesse

I had a discussion with Sam about those here See my last reply, maybe you can take a chance & contact this guy, maybe he can get another Napoleon. eBay.com.au look for a seller by the name ''modelshipyard''. Let me know. Jesse
