Very nice build Joachim. Love the extra detail you've applied.

Nice to your log back - I remember it well from pre-crash MSW! I'll enjoy following this one through now.

NICE

 

it's amazing how wood obeys u , keep up the good work

He trains it specially! Wait until you see his performing wood worms!!! :D

Nicely done David. Neat solution.

Very nice Robbyn!

Hi Chris,

I somehow missed your first post and only noticed your build log today. I'm delighted to see you've made a start and I'll look forward to following along as well. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

Nice start Micklen,

Think I'll pull up a seat in the front row and watch this one through. A Riverboat is on my "one-day" list. This looks to be a nice kit.

Thanks for dropping by Sherry, and for the good wishes.

Just found your log Timmo. What an excellent job you're doing here. I love what you've done with the painted panels - looks superb. I'll follow along for the rest of the ride now.

Nice Danny!

You guys crack me up!

Just for the record:

I love malt (candy) on ice-cream!

I love single malt scotch whiskey!

I also indulge in Maple syrup on ice-cream!

I even have our "local" version - Golden Syrup - on ice-cream!

Now lets put all that together, and we'll have the worlds yummiest (and most alcoholic) ice-cream. . Maybe Sjors could put his clown suit on and hand them around!

JPett,

I didn't ask the question, but I'd have to say that's the best advice/description I've read on painting yet. Painting is one of my (many) weak areas. Thanks for posting such a great piece.

Thanks Keith - the Admiral keeps a pretty close eye on what chemicals are getting mixed here. Despite my desire to imbibe, I will actually stay off it until all meds are finished.

Beautifully done Mark. I love the cleanness and precision of your work.

Ah, so that's what they're supposed to look like!

Very nicely done Augie. I hope to be at the same stage very soon - I've painted my yards, just waiting to attach the fittings now. I think I'll follow suit using wire for the stirrups. Do you have any close-ups of how you did these?

Thanks for the pics and explanation Rusty - that makes it really clear.

Thanks folks for looking in on me - the support is always appreciated, even when I can't do any modelling! (or should that be especially then?)

Joe - more photos once I get back to the shipyard.

Mark - I'm starting to feel the need for copious amounts of disinfectant!

Ensign - thanks for that info on sleep apnea. I'll bear that in mind.

Once again, thank you all for your concern and good wishes. This really is a community, not just a forum.

Very nice joints there Rusty - clearly practice does make perfect!

I think I'm ready to test the theory Ben!

Wow,

That's a bold move Alexandru, but as John says, no doubt you'll be a lot more happy with it now.

Nice to see some progress Adam. She's looking really nice.

Hi Aldo,

Nice to hear from you my friend and thanks for your good wishes. Along with the tonsillectomy was a UPPP, which I think is what is still giving me some grief. Despite the temptation I've stayed off the alcohol since the op - don't want to mix it with pain meds! However, the meds finish today, so that single malt is starting to look good.......

Thanks Bill for your good wishes too.

Sjors,

As my Admiral often says to me, "that's a nice little fantasy land you live in, isn't it?"

You're not fooling anyone my friend, least of all Anja I expect!

Thanks for the good wishes Kevin. Hope to be back in the shipyard next weekend.

Thanks Sjors,

Couldn't let the opportunity go past!

Now, back to the kitchen with you and get Anja some more coffee!!!
