Here is the piece of Black Walnut that I will use to make the display base for the Montanes. I do love black walnut. I also just started planking the lower false decking.

We here at the Flying Dutchmen home fully understand what you are going through - experience talks. We too had a very nice visit with our daughter Marianne and Troy our grandson. I could now show my grandson his great grandfather's submarine, the O19.
Family is very important and am glad that your children have grown up into mature and responsible adults.

Have a very good and healthy 2016 from one proud papa to another proud papa.

Thanks all for looking in.

ca shipwright - More ships??? Flat out keeping up with what I have in the shipyard

Good to see you back in the dockyard Mike.

Greg, Popeye - unfortunately retiring 5 years earlier than planned for health reasons - get some quality of life in while I can. My complaints however are minor compared to many!

cheers

Beautiful set of sequence pics Patrick. It's now much easier for me to visualize what you are doing. She looks bloody awesome, nice work.

You and your family have a very good and healthy 2016.

Hi Greg

Thanks! It was deciding how to break the superstructure up into manageable, yet, removable components that was the hardest thing to do, (so far). This was made all the more difficult as I don't have detailed plans, apart from the basic lines drawings that I've downloaded from the net, (and photos), so a lot of guess work has come into play. Not bad, though, I reckon.

Have a good'un and thanks once again.

PS - my mask is getting a good workout!

Cheers

Patrick

You should be a proud papa from what you've been telling us. May the spice flow and the force be with you.

Let's all drink to a Happier New Year, Nenad !!

Thanks for supporting words, Mark. I think I am near ...

Hello Denis. That "anchor" was a first I grab from shelf, just for testing purpose. If I decide to this solution, "anchors" will be as small as I can find. Also thinking to fulfill space under with something to harden whole thing

No worry about protrude on surface ... this was just fast testing, and I have enough experience making a bunch of furniture and another things in home, with or without "anchors" of all kind and size

"First night" spent with kids talking, looking at some movie ... nobody was in mood to be cheerful, only 6 months passed, and this is first New Year without Her, so .... Anyway, nice time with kids, with full hearth of happiness seeing how good and mature people with the correct world view they become ... very proud Papa I am

Let the force be with all of us

Those look like the Swann-Morton Plastic Surgery scalpels, Dave. They work a treat.

GLakie reacted to slow2cool in Holiday Harbor by popeye the sailor - 1:20 scale - multi build January 1, 2016

Pics of windows using future floor wax and food coloring
1st pic is using cling wrap for backing, comes out very clear as you can see by the divers helmet in back of window

2nd pic using cling wrap and food coloring in the wax then pouring on netting

3rd pic using wax paper for backing, this gives a frost look, the red windows are food coloring mixed with the wax and put on with a paint brush after the clear wax dried

4th pic using wax paper for backing and mixing food coloring in the wax then pouring on netting

Thanks for letting me post Popeye

Happy New Year! She looks fantastic. I haven't touched my boat for over two months. I took a break to build a 132nd super detailed f105 thunderchief.
You have inspired me to get back to the shipyard-
I have my mojo back!
