“I ask myself: Why was the very first attempt so easy and now so difficult?” Ah, that’s one of the mysteries of modeling. I have the same problem. Keep at it, eventually success comes. Bob

Yes I know, “button it all up” can sometimes take a while. But you’re a lot closer now. Bob

Happy for you. Sounds like you have a winner. Now to button it all up and go sailing. Bob

Thanks for the information but things have changed. The finished schooner will be placed where the admiral will see it all the time and she said. . . “I don’t want that other boat with the schooner ! ” Since I’m making it black and gold for her, I will not be adding the seine boat, for her. Bob
