yup.....that's what I figured Kevin........the first progress picture was what I was thinking of you hadn't made that port side wall yet. I didn't want to comment...but my curiosity got the best of me. that will make for some really neat detail inside. -
she's look'in good Russ......nice smooth hull. noting the outlines of the structures on deck, perhaps one use would be as a footing, as one goes fore to aft...or aft to fore.

I'm the same way.....I don't like to paint decks either. as I've seen though, some working boats do tend to have painted decks. it would be safe to say, that the wood grain deck is reserved for the sailing ship and pleasure crafts. I have done it though to a couple of my projects, and I like how they came out. as long as it works well with the subject. love the little boat.......so sweet to see the 'mini me' effect very nicely done........super progress

so nice to see her in the dry fit........the decks really look super aft deck looks sweet!

comparing the picture above with this one, it appears that the hangars are too far back. they should be flush with the aft section of the structure, and appear more boxy. is there a port side outer wall that you haven't added yet? no offence either......always good to know where you are with your project. it is from that picture though, that I see this.......perhaps something you haven't though of yet

thanks Piet shouldn't be long now noooo that would be one 'plaque' with a very short shelf life! it's hard to find a place where folks can get a decent piece of fish. we have a small family restaurant that does a nice feed........combine that piece of fish with some cole slaw and fries, and I'm happy. we have to go out to Hampton Beach to really get the good stuff.

really look'in good Tom!

yes Bob....I did get a chuckle. you may find that other known vessels can be built from this kit. I didn't like those rings at all.......1:96 blocks are slightly out of scale, but they do work reasonably well. back in the day, older and now defunct companies sold their molds......I believe this to be an old Pyro kit. Lindberg models used to be called O-Lin. here is an interesting article....there are others here that might be of interest as well. http://www.oldmodelkits.com/blog/plastic-model-kit-history/the-kits-of-pyro-plastic-company-an-illustrated-guide/ the kit does have it's drawbacks, but to me, it's hit or miss to find the perfect kit. heck.....I'm even using a couple of the cannons for my Thermopylae project...close enough to scale for me enjoy when you get to it. thanks for the good word. thank you Lawrence! having a bit of a bout with aches and pains.....but I'm still stand'in I only have the anchors left to do on the model.....I may have to skimp a little. I had drilled hawse holes....not in the correct place, so I will have to live with it. thanks for the good word and birthday wishes
