I know what you mean about the photos Andy. I took a couple of shots of mine yesterday and just trashed them. Need to find a good background I guess.

Great start on the coppering, Bob. You may not think it's fun right now but, once completed, I will lay money you'll have a smile on your face from ear to ear. Then you'll start worrying how long it will take to age . Keep on pouncin'

I built the Peterboro a number of years back. It's a fun build. I strapped it on the side of my Piper Cub float plane and the guys love it. Complete with flyrod and net. Nice touch with the additional teak accent plank. Get a good hi-gloss finish on her and she's a beauty.

Syren would be nice

More than impressive. Because of your skill at this, I'm going to cast off my (predictable) 'but she's a working boat' hat and say go for the shiniest, deepest finish you can. Because you CAN. Yes, shellac (usually 3#) was used in the pharma and candy industries for sugar coating to keep the tablets from sticking together in the package. It was applied in a large, 4-8 foot diameter coating pan and dusted with talc near the end of the application. Two coats were sufficient. 3 or 4 coats produced what is called an enteric coating which would pass through the stomach unafftected then dissolve in the intestine. 5 coats and the pills could pass through the sun itself. Congratulations on your first 'tutorial'. WELL DONE!

Popeye, you've done a magnificent job on her. She looks every bit the part of a hard working boat. Oh, she's loved....but she's functional! The lobster traps, with flora and critters, are a true work of art. Really. Once again, you've outdone yourself.

Congrats on the deadeyes!

Time is not an issue. The result was well worth it.

Gotta watch out for those Canadians. Apparently they'll eat anything!

Beautiful work Bob. Thanks for getting her back in the forum.
-
Truly sorry to hear about your brother and daughter. Hopefully they are on their way to full recovery. You are a true darksider now -- we get to see power tools . Nice work on the building slip. Oh, yeah -- the bulkhead former as well !!
-
Thanks Buck! Keep adding those details to your whaleboat ---- she's a beauty.

Tastes like chicken. And don't forget the PUTINE!!!! Stay warm

Ah yes, forgive my poor memory. 1:96 it is!

I really admire your treatment on Pegasus Andy. But I've already got 3 on the 'next up' wish list so we'll see what happens. Hope things are ok up there at 48+ degrees North. We're getting slammed pretty good here in the Rockies (stupid Ground Hog blew it this year).

What a wonderful day. The site is back up, you are about to divulge the scale you selected, and Sjors is back to his ever-impatient self. I, on the other hand, will await your input (be really nice @ 1:75)
