  1. Like always I'm late to the party but the build looks so good I think I'll stay around. Bob
  2. "The large servo at the right of the photo will control the fore-n-aft sails; heads'ls, spanker, etc." Why did you use an arm on this servo instead of a drum like the others? Also I like your ruddeer setup Bob
  3. Martin, Popeye and all of you how I may have failed to name, I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. Without you all I could not build the models I do. Thanks again Jay my next build is the HOGA YT-146. a navy yard tug from WWII. Bob
  4. All of my boats are about 95% basswood. Frames, planking, decks, cabins, masts, and on and on. Bob
  5. Great idea, "boat in a box". Nice boat and nice box to carry it in. Bob
  6. The C R Lamb makes a fine little packet riverboat. Nicely done. Good luck at the conference. Bob
  7. Thank you all for your kind words. Yes I did give it to the admiral and she loved it. She said now I can build what “ I ” want. Bob
  8. Thanks Popeye. Now here’s the rest of it. I did not like this boat when I started it but the more I built the more it grew on me. I titled it the Malabar Jr. but I modified it so much that it is no longer a Malabar Jr. it’s just a yawl, Y’all. First the profile. And a bow shot. The foredeck And the cockpit. Bob
  9. And I qoute. “ especially when you're trying to figure out something you're not sure about" – “Small boy - are you sure you're doing it right?”. Sounds, to me, like a good question. Thanks, John, I needed a laugh. Bob
  10. You're right, John. With luck I'll show it tomorrow. Bob
  11. Thanks for the sailing video. I'm not finished yet, but here's where I was a couple days ago. Thread all over the place and paper sails to check size. Bob
  12. John, Glad to see the progress. She's a beauty. Bob
