gluedandscrewed got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in USS Melvin by gluedandscrewed - RADIO
she got a coat of primer this morning, i couldn't resist the temptation to see what she'll look like so i put up some of the out buildings on her deck, had to go outside for some decent lighting, couple more months to outfit her and than sea trials

so, i have not been skylarking, been , want to say planking but that just doesnt sound right for a destroyer, so been plating the hull, one coat of epoxy and a light sanding so far... taken 40 1/16x3x18 sheets of basswood did, however, discover a talent for a new avocation in my off time,,,,,quilting!!!!!

so while waiting for the hull plate to arrive i've been making some of the small stuff, like the whaleboat canopies, and i'm willing to bet this is the only boat here with a pair of boxer shorts and panties as constituent parts, yes indeed, the little lady contributed a pair of her finest to the cause,,, what a women!!!!! and willingly i might add,, guess its true when they say " a family that builds together stays together"

got away from the wife for a couple of hours and started the hull, slow going when all you have are neanderthal tools to work with, yard stick and a crayon
P.S. the fish got in by mistake, havent figured out how to delete yet

i couldnt believe it, two four foot scratch built models and she thought they were plastic kits, i think i could get away with temporary insanity and cop a plea to manslaughter!!!! anyhoo, sent her shopping so i had a couple of hours to work on the devil, got the chimneys mostly done, the head lights are in, guess the stop lights and turn signals go on the back one, steel plate for the deck and hull framing supposed to be here today so will start on that,, figure couple more excursions to the mall by the wife should have the devil afloat
P.S. anybody know what that redneck hot tub looking thing on the side of the stack is??

now Bill !!! my eye still hurts from the BIG wink,, just injecting a little levity into the conversation no offense meant
P.S. looks like you have a lot more salt time than me,, naval air , took one cruise to the Med my last year, thought it would be embarrassing to admit to 4 years in the navy and not having set a foot on a ship
