Well hello boys and girls. My wife mother in law father in law and daughter all chipped in to get my my next project It is something I have been looking at for a year I know it's not the biggest grandest or most impressive model out there but I do believe she will be beautiful never the less I am proud to be building this rendition of a true American antiquity And now the unveiling of the King of the Mississippi Hope you all enjoy

Let me know what you decide would love to watch on

Tom she is beautiful nestled in her permanent birth I love the case it exemplifies the work effort and love you've put into her I can only hope my girl turns out to be half the lady yours has It has been a pleasure watching her come to tuition Thank you for sharing this experience

Looking good my friend I watch your build and think damn I wish I would have thought of that Well maybe next time lol Hope you get feeling better soon

Thank you for the reply My girls been slow going think I want another kit under my belt before I try a hand at scratch But thank you so much I've been looking at chucks cheerful she is a nice looking boat

Bob great work sir She is coming along beautifully Your doing that old girl justice

Hey mark She's a looking great How hard has it been for you to go from kits to scratch Looks like you've been doing scratch for years great butt on that girl

Dimitris my friend how have you been miss seeing you on How's the boat How's the family

Hey tom seems like I was there from the beginning but I do have to say that the slide show rejuvenated the imagination and interest. It shows the progression that I had forgotten It reminded me of how a simple few peices of wood can transform into a piece of art

Mark been away a while but dang she is looking great

nigel  she turned out to be a very beautiful girl    thank you for sharing this build   that is a boat to be proud of     congrats

You know tom I'm kinda saddened that I won't get to see anymore pretty updates on this girl I look several times a day to see if she has grown Now I won't be able tooooo I guess it's se la vi

Nigel Those turned out great Wow they are a lot more impressive then decals Great job

Tom Great job She looks like the real deal I am glad I was able to follow your build Can't wait to see her final birthing You did an amazing job

Hey tom tagging along too huh I'm the same with the skill level I have for this model vs price range I can't wait to see this girl take shape

Nigel I didn't actually have any carvings on my constellation It's not a very decorative ship In a good artist with a pencil but with wood I have yet to try carving Yours are turning out great Suggestions Try getting some scale texturing by tapping some fine wire mesh on the surface just enough to make a slight imprint think that would be awesome Try it out first on a scrap price just to see how it turns out

Thanks for clarifying gjdale

Looks great to Nigel Braver man than me to show carvings I've tried I've failed lol have a great New Years

Well when you decide to get back on the ship train Please let me know I would love to follow along

Wow tom such a beautiful ship I am proud to have been able to follow this build Other than learning with you I've also seen a transformation of a few scraps of wood turn into a majestic ship congrats my friend

Nice looking kit Can't wait to see it take shape Merry Christmas my friend

Dimitris Once again looking like perfection Hope you and your loved ones have a blessed merry Christmas

What??? Bob you mean to tell me it's not done yet Geeze what have you been doing Not like family job and life are that important Lol just can't wait to see your update

Nice looking lizards they will look spender on the dragon

Sounds like a great and doable plan
