    Thanks Bob. I'm finally making some progress on the Corsaro and finally bouncing back after Covid, which took me nearly a month to start feeling better.

    I've been able to get a little done on the Corsaro, I've been a bit under the weather for the past couple of weeks. I contracted the Covid and the a few days later my wife caught it as well. It hit me pretty hard and just trying to fight back. We've all been vaxed up, and I thought I was going to get it, but BAM it hit me.

    I have the masts all set. I'm building it without sail as if it were in dry dock having repairs done to it.

    I'm glad to see that you're still building, Mike, despite what the eye doctor has said!

    Unfortunately I received some bad news from my eye doctor the other day. I've been having trouble with my left eye and went to see him to see what was up. He found that I have a degenerative eye decease and ask me what all I did as far as using my eyes, he strongly recommended that I give up modeling and anything that I did where I had to focus for any period of time such as reading. He also said it is progressive in nature and what is happening to the left eye will happen to the right eye sooner rather than later. So I won't be adopting anymore orphaned kits and builds, hopefully someone will fill the void I leave. I would at least like to complete the Corsaro.

    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.

    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.

    Unless we get ourselves one of those big commune style tubs, a model like that is WAY too big to float in our bathtubs at bath time. 🙂

    Uhggggg, yes, tomorrow never comes for those projects. I am doing another "Swedish Death Cleaning sort" for my wife's benefit of my massive kit stash. Of course, I have the giant Nichimo Yamato and all of the Fujmi replacement fixes. I probably should post some of my kits for sale here. Of course, if Trumpy really wants to sell a zillion kits a 1/200 Kongo or any American cruiser would likely do very well. I might even build a USS Houston!

    I installed the stanchions and wire railings. I made a few modifications or deviations from the original plan. such as stanchion placement.

    The vinyl graphics name arrived today and I couldn't wait to apply it. Meet the "Fair Winds & Following seas". It's an old maritime term I read some where. I started to go with just Fair Winds, but said what the heck.
