Thank you to each of you for your likes and your comments, I've been looking forward to when I could hold Billy in the palm of my hand. I don't think display space is going to be an issue. Finishing the bow took me longer than I anticipated. Everything you see is attached. I wanted to paint the boiler deck so bad........patience self. Eric, Tom, and anyone else who saw in their minds a center located stairs, is this what you where thinking? Thank you to everyone for your support and for following along. And very special Christmas wish for good health and happiness during the holidays and the coming new year. Merry Christmas my dear friends, God Bless. Keith

Most European towns and their buildings are much much older than anything we have here in the Colonies. Because of the age of European towns, their original wooden buildings either burned down in fire storms or were destroyed by war. Because of deforestation rebuilding with wood was impractical thus stone was the logical choice for building material. It blows my tomato to see stone structures in Europe that have had constant occupancy since the 12th and 13th centuries.

The stairs and the whole main deck look fantastic, John. And the furniture you made for your Constitution is unbelievable. I'm currently working on Billy's stairs and how they transition into the boiler deck so I appreciate what you're going through with Klondike's stairs.

Revell 1:96 Cutty Sark after-market decals?
Keith Black replied to Terry Lawson's topic in Plastic model kits
Terry, the best way to attach would be CA gel (super glue) IMHO. Make sure all is right before dabbing the plastic deck with the CA gel and then applying the wood deck. As far as decoration please resist adding treenails (trunnels/wooden pegs) with a pointed pencil. At scale one wouldn't see the wooden pegs. As far a staining or painting that's up to you the captain. -

I don't know, David. Keith continues sawing up the dinning room furniture, the house remodeling project is done, and now Ann has received her 50th Wedding Anniversary present, what's to make her want to keep him about underfoot? In all seriousness, Keith. Congratulations on your's and Ann's 50th wedding anniversary. One of life's major milestones.

For the railroad buffs in the group... there is also L.I.R.R. ANNEX BOAT painted on the lower front of the Pier 13 building. The below Wikipedia link that goes into the Long Island Railroad history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Long_Island_Rail_Road The history of the Montauk Steamboat Company and the history of the Long Island Railroad connection and their connection is a fascinating rabbit hole to explore but enough of this rabbit hole, I should finish Billy's bow today.

Thank you, John. Further information.....I noticed the sign "Montauk Steam" and thought what the heck, let me look that up and to my delighted surprise the following came up on Wikipedia. What a great thing the internet can be! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montauk_Steamboat_Company The Montauk Steamboat Company, Ltd. was located at Pier 13, East River, New York City, US. It was established in 1853.[1] It operated steamboats between New York City and the eastern end of Long Island. The boats ran along the north shore of Long Island. There were also steamboats to Block Island, Rhode Island where connections were made with Providence and Newport.[2] Henry Francis Cook was its president;[3] David Van Cleaf was its superintendent.[1] The company was sold to the Long Island Rail Road Company in 1899 after a deal was struck with Joseph Fahys & Co. who held the majority stock in the steamboat company.[4] The company office was later moved to Long Island City, Queens, New York.[5]
