It was a very nice weekend here...and yep, a hint may, perhaps, have snuck into the post
-
Greetings, Anja - we had a wonderful weekend here in ARKANSAS....
-
Sorry for the delay - took a couple of days off to celebrate with the family. here is the next candidate - enjoy!
-
Nice repair job, Anja - glad things are going well! So what have you planted in the garden this spring? Enjoy the rest of your day! -
Very nice job on those, Captain. She is looking to be a very pretty (although toothless ) ship!
-
Thanks, Geoffrey. It is coming together a small piece at a time - taking it slow on these last pieces of rigging to get them right!

Mercury by DSiemens - FINISHED - BOTTLE

Great looking kids, Daniel! Now about that comment... After all it's statistically proven that people who have more birthdays live longer. I can attest to the validity there of. Happy Birthday, sir! Enjoy the kids! -
I would agree with everything above - build a model that calls out to you! The difficulty ratings are meant as a general gauge of the amount of time, effort, and complexity. as somebody's signature on here says - think of them rather like the Pirate Code - the Code is more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules. Enjoy, and WELCOME ABOARD!

The Maine schooner J & E Riggin

Ayuh..that's the Gangut

Here's the next candidate!

Whew! that is an interesting tale on the Arctic Sea... Need to see if I can come up with a good one - not sure if I want to look a subs, tugs, or something totally different!
-
MV Arctic Sea - the ship that was mysteriously hijacked in the northern hemisphere?
-
Not the Maersk Alabama, is it? Thought that had a blue hull...
-
So - is it the Federal Patroller?
-
Dang, Andy - you don't make this easy! International headlines...hazy day...St. Lawrence seaway in summer...hydraulic topping lift...doesn't have paired cranes...and there is a clue in the picture. Well, we can rule out the Edmund Fitzgerald...the USS Constitution...the Starship Enterprise... Somehow, I just don't think I am getting any closer to this one....

Cool stuff, Keith! I have a few of those items leftover from my wild and mispent youth running EMS in the days of Johnny & Roy, and some others courtesy of a grandchild that gets an infusion every other day. Another area that has generated some useful items is the Admirals fiber crafting (knitting etc.) She has surrendered a few small knitting needles and crochet hooks to the cause 9and all it cost me was more yarn...one would think 500 skeins was enough!).
-
St. george - I think you may have it. Those blasted funnels were throwing me for a tizzy! Let's see what that dastardly Andy has to say!
-
Oh, my...It looks very interesting! I do believe I need to save up and get a copy!!!
-
Looks good so far, Pete - this looks like a neat way to get into POF building with minimal cost!
-
There are a lot of lakers to look though, don'tcha know!
-
Wow. Just stunning!
-
Unlike so many others, I refuse to engage in frivolous banter. Nope, not gonna do it. I am NOT gonna be strung up from that yardarm! No way, uh-uh, nope. I know better than to SPAR with the pros... Oops. Looking really sharp, Augie - Very nice! Storing that trick away for the next one that reaches rigging stage!

Looking amazing, Sjors - well done! I'm with Andy - do we look at time or number of knots before he goes off the deep end and adds water skis to the ship?
