  1. When I mention orphaned kits or projects, folks think they were free.we But no orphan is totally free from expense. Take the Jenny Lee, I just spent $76.00 just on the running hardware package, which is why I believe there are so many of the older Dumas, Billings kits floating around. Most of their newer kits have the hardware package included.
  2. I plan on having my grandson participate in building the Jenny. He just turned six so I'm going to have him work on the deck cabin and see how it goes. I can always fix what doesn't work out. Spending the time will be priceless😄
  3. thanks guys, with my eye issues, it's taking me a bit longer to finish a project and I've had to turn down several orphan projects. But I'm still kicking it.
  4. I picked this orphaned kit up a couple of years ago intending to build it for my youngest grandson. So it has found its way to the building table. It's an r/c model. It will measure about 24 inches when finished. I will not be adding a stars and bars flag and will opt for an American flag.
  5. I usually like to do sail boats in full sail in all their glory, but with the cradle it sits in just didn't seem right to me.
  6. I used some anchor material that I have for another project as a sail cover while it's in dry dock. There will also be minimal rigging.
  7. I have the masts all set. I'm building it without sail as if it were in dry dock having repairs done to it.
  8. That's a fact. You can run it in a lake or pond, but it better be quite calm and a good sized open space because it take a country mile to turn.
  9. I finished building the Trumpeter 1/200 scale USS Missouri a few months ago. It turned out beautifully. I intend to donate it when I'm finished looking at it.
