Dragon by Borge - Billing Boats - scale 1:12 - sail yacht


Recommended Posts

Thanks Anja.

 

Its very hard to just watch the ship sitting there and not to try working on it.

I have been in the workshop every day just thinking, planning, and sorting stuff with my other hand :)

It is like beeing adictive to the hobby, cant leave it 100 %.

 

Have a nice wekend :)

 

Børge

 

Yes, you are just like the rest of us.  :)   I think most if not all of us, sit at work, or in the car, or somewhere and think, plan, and mentally build our models.

Hi Mark, you are 100 % correct, it becomes a lifestyle.

Sometimes i just wonder away in my thoughts, and sometimes it is executed to.

Right now i am playing (inside my head) with a idea on a engraving idea, maybe making a small pantograph engraver for wood carving.

with a electric motor using dental burrs... :D

Børge, make sure that you keep playing with the idea inside your head. At least for the next two weeks. Otherwise ....... animaatjes-slaan-en-vechten-51690.gif

Hey Borge, just checked in and learned of your elbow issue.  I'm just getting back into the swing of it myself (lower back problem) so not only can I sympathize but I can also support :D  

 

Take care and take it easy - this is one of those things that requires patience but it does pay off in the end!  You'll be back at it before you know it  :10_1_10:

Hi Borge,

 

Just checking in and read that the elbow is getting better.  Excellent!!!  Hopefully, you can be patient a little while longer.

Don't rush the healing, the Dragon and this forum can wait, your elbow can't.

Hi guys, its nice to hear you all care for me :)

 

Sjors: it has been som training involving fluid, it gets easy after a couple of pints. ;)

The Admiral says hi :)

 

Popeye: Hi, my project is "slowly taking shape" on paper, all i can say is that this will be very useful ,he he :)

 

Jim, hi there, i am taking it easy, we have had a wonderful weather up here lately, is been 22 degrees, and thats hot for this time of the year, so i have been relaxing in the sunshine :)

 

Hi Mark, i will be patient, its easier now when i got used to not beeing in the shop that much.

 

 

Hi Bob, thats what i also figured out, so it will turn out good in the end.

Hello my friend,

 

Yes Børge, you have been quiet, but it's great your elbow is doing much better.

That is more important. We can wait for another two weeks

 

And I guess we can wait for the secret that long as well animaatjes-ja-en-nee-43743.gif

 

Have a safe trip to Sweden and enjoy your holiday.

Say hello to Oddrun for me.
