  1. Over the years I have colleceted differnt sizes of tweazers and dental picks and I have found this invaluable when rigging. A bit of swearing helps to release the tension. David B

  7. Looking good so far the Virginia makes into a nice model and is open to heavy modification if you have the desire. David B
  8. Danny my boy you need to kick back and take a stiff one soon. Otherwise you are going to go to lala land and we do not want that to happen. David B
  9. Your model is getting better and better it becoming a work of high art. David B

  13. Wouldn't it be nice to have the real thing to play with? Deep Pockets. David B
  14. Unfortunately I was preoccupied with being at the University of Iowa and the kind people at the Hope Lodge so I did not have much energy to get much done. But I am now back. I finally started on the bow. The crane, anchor and chain. Since I am working with just the stock itself I did the best I could. Though this would have been easier with other material. I cut out the sheet and glued it up This time around I soaked the pieces in CA in order to reinforce them. And once cut out I used a marker to touch up the color. Note to self always keep a pack of markers handy. By using CA I was able to make everything piable enought to glue to the hull. For this I used white Elmers. So far so good. David B
