have a nice trip! -
well Mobbsie........the AmericA will be next........then the Goth. there are a few things I can do to the hull / deck still....I want to try fitting this in to get the build moving again, until I can fully get back to her. never a dull moment here!
-
believe me Alex.........it's a three stooges thing.......I tried it as a youngster........I think my pallette has changed a bit by now....LOL! there is a difference between bologna and mortadella here in the states bologna doesn't have what appears to be fat chunks in it, mortadella does........I like it in a sub / sandwich. but the admiral doesn't like it. I even do dishes Wayne.....helps to get glue and stuff off my fingers when I model......so it's a fair trade. now, if she only can get me to do other things......then I'd be more 'well rounded' don't be sad Bob.....they'll be in the finished builds.....you can see them whenever you want just kidding........ I'm just glad you enjoyed the build. these plans aren't dead yet....and I still have the templates........I have other uses for this darling bwaaaaaha...ha.....ha!

yea, but he used a winchester rifle....lever action....never missed that one either. kinda made you wonder why the lone ranger used silver bullets.......there wasn't a wearwolf threat around there, as far as I knew..........LOL!

oh no.......nothing like that ..........it's a cake mix with frosting! my son Kevin picked out there candles that spelled out 'happy birthday', but she didn't want that.......nor did she want any candles that denoted her age {she's 50}. so I told her that I could simply spell out her name with them, and she was good with that. after looking at the rest of the candles, I was able to come up with another word out of the ones that were left over. {god help me........now I'm putting food on the site too!} we baked you a birthday cake if you get a tum-my-ache and you moan and groan in woe don't forget, we told you so rat - tat - toodle......dae dae.........rat - tat - toodle.......dae dae! "you know,......fish is great brain food." "you know, you should fish for a whale!........com'on scram!!!" "if there's anything I like better than honey and ketchup......it's bologna and whipped cream,......and we haven't got any." {I've tried the bologna and whipped cream....not bad} anyway.........I thank you all for the kind words........this kit can be fitted for R/C....they do show you how to fit the prop tube in the plans. perhaps one day I may try to do it. I hope to have more progress soon.

well gee.......thanks Borge! quoting with pictures involved looks rather odd though.......so, let's recap. thanks for looking in and the good word! so, it began with this box of parts called the Maine lobster boat. then after the major goof, and the subsequent build of the Denny-Zen........we arrived with this. now that I've gone as far as I can with the Denny-Zen, without involving the Phylly C, they were both brought together again, for another comparison check. so, now it's time to add the bit of bling that the Phylly C is supposed to have. it begins with a flag staff it's not much.........today is the admiral's birthday. I built her a model birthday cake. it came out very good......and with a scoop of fudge ripple ice cream along side, made for a rather tasty repast! of course I just had to sing her the three stooges birthday song I did some work on making up the monitor screens like I did on the M&M build........but I think I'm running out of color ink. I'll just have to make do with what I have.....I think I'll be OK. there's a bit more to come. I finished one of the builds I wanted to get out of the way........now for the lobsie twins

-

-
the F-15 is finished..........I have the lobsie twins on the table at the moment. I don't have too much to do for these two, then it's off on the AmericA. THEN.........to the Goth! I'll have some pictures soon...........I haven't posted any for a bit. thanks for looking in Daniel

well....that's good........it does remind me though.......I need to get some dowel for stock. {always good to have some on hand}
-
Nice anchor!
-
mine as well good sir!
-
these rifles were cool in the way they could be perched in the 'Y' of a tree, and held steady enough to split a feather. Daneil Boone and Davy crockett were well know stories in my younger days. they had 'em on TV.........never missed a show
-
I have a couple of places where I can get dowels from. but this might be a good remedy.......I am surprised that your kit didn't have any dowels in it JP. a big problem I see with billing's kits {perhaps others as well}, is that there is no real way of telling the raw dowels apart in the kit........they are not labled. I find it rather confusing. it would probqably be best to purchase the different size dowels you'd need, and go from there. if your plans a 1:1.......you got it made!

will look forward in seeing your progress when she returns!

your build reminds me of all the painting I'm going to have to do, when I get back to my United States build.........I use an airbrush though, so it might not be a huge job. I use the frog tape.....I seem to get better results. it's been tough getting back all of the builds I used to follow.........talking to you on my United States build, jogged my memory that I haven't gotten yours back........I have it now nice job so far........keep up the good work!
-
holy cow David..........lost track of your build since the crash..............WOW! you've done so much.......she looks absolutely beautiful! really nice job with the masting and ratlines........and the rigging is superb! really nice work!
-
nawwww....he just keeps them in separate dry docks! if he didn't they might share ideas, and it would bend history...........we'd all have to change the way we think of these ships............mixed influences........oh my!!! nice work on the bow spirit........it looks great!
-
you have a beautiful ship Rusty.......looks superb with all the additions in place!
-
I would have done that.......but the thoughts of a drunken guy with an x-actor, would probably have scared the crap out of the admiral! LOL! with me........if I over think something......I get a crappy job. I'll look forward in seeing how this comes out for you.......you'll do fine, I'm sure! gee......I should have thought of that! I seem to use a lot of HO stuff in my builds I have the walther's website bookmarked, so I'll take a look........thanks a lot for the info!
