EJ_L Posted August 13, 2016 Share #425 Posted August 13, 2016 Happy belated birthday and congratulations on the birthday present! I think that will be a great one to progress into after the Phantom. I will be sure to follow along when you start that one but till then I am looking forward to seeing your ship yard open back up and more work resume on the Phantom as she is coming along nicely.

kurtvd19 Posted August 14, 2016 Share #431 Posted August 14, 2016 Elijah: I announced at the meeting last night (the Nautical Research and Model Ship Society of Chicago - where Elijha's a member) that it was your birthday and the group in attendance asked me to relay their birthday wishes to you. So, Happy Birthday, slightly belated from the group. Being on vacation you missed Doc Brackett's presentation on his 12" = 1'0" kayak build - a very good presentation that showed some things that modelers can use in our builds.

Elijah Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share #436 Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! I was wondering, do ships grow on trees? They seem to keep falling into my hands . I just received an old T-2 tanker Kit by Bluejacket Shipcrafters! The kit is worth $400! Maybe ships don't grow on trees, but it might be possible that ships attract more ships . Now it is time to copper my hull!

EJ_L Posted August 14, 2016 Share #437 Posted August 14, 2016 That is awesome Elijah! Never a bad thing to have extra ships and ones that just fall into your lap are even better!

EJ_L Posted August 15, 2016 Share #439 Posted August 15, 2016 Mike, I may need that help myself! It seems no sooner than I purchase one then another grabs my attention. My wish list grows longer, the shelf space shrinks and my bank account looks smaller all the time. Now if I could just get that clone to go to work for me so I can find the time to build them all!

EJ_L Posted August 17, 2016 Share #443 Posted August 17, 2016 Nice job on the coppering. I'm sure you are glad to have that stage behind you and on t the next. I've never had to do that on a ship as the ones I have done with copper hulls have all been plastic so it was just a matter of a couple coats of copper paint and done.
