UpstateNY Posted August 12, 2015 Share #1894 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Hi Danny, Congratulations on finishing your gorgeous build. Also my thanks as well for a beautifully detailed build log...while I started to follow along late, I know I will be using it as a wonderful reference log for years to come. Finally, I think there should be at least another dram in that bottle for you...just one seems a bit light after so much work! Cheers, Nigel.

Dan Vadas Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share #1917 Posted August 17, 2015 Wow, I go away for a couple of days and there are several pages of Congratulations . My sincere thanks go out to : Ian, Nenad, Nils, Chris, Grant, Cabrapente, Goerge, Ioannis, Druxey, Chris, Brian, Tom, Carl, Nick, Nigel, Sherry, Russell, Mark, Christian, Robin, Pat, Brian, Ed, Mo, David, Greg, Eammon, Adam, Piet, Johann, Ian, Jan, Richard, Steve, Doris, Popeye, Remco, Marc, John and Toni. The ship itself is finished, but I still have to finish making the base and then screw her to it. That should happen in the next day or so, and then I'll take some good pics of her and post them in the Gallery. The reason I've been away was I had to pick up my next project. This will involve finishing the Norske Lowe pictured below for a guy who's father died before finishing her. This is the same guy who's Mississippi Riverboat I finished a while ago. Once again it's a rather rough model, but nothing I can't handle . I'll do a Build Log of this project. Those of you who wish to follow it can access it through the Link in my Signature.
