    I hope you cemented all the parts on the aft deck........it looks perfect!  {except for the cannon............of course   }   you did a really good job of capturing the detail..........I think anything more would be overkill.  {after adding the blocks and rigging}.   I'm not much with programs like that..........I just work off from the pictures I find.   really great stuff!

    I see you've increased the spacing.......are you going to continue with wider spacing till you get to the stern?   repetitive work is a bear.......but when fared and ready for planking,  your going to be happy how it will come out

    popeye the sailor got a reaction from Piet in Holiday Harbor by popeye the sailor - 1:20 scale - multi build   
    ........that's only part of 'em bug.........I'm hopeless        I guess my inner child thinks I started too late in life......and it's trying to catch up.  either that,  or I'm too imaginative for my own good     the admiral doesn't mind though.......she likes the wooden ones better than the plastic kits i used to build.
           I have another six years and six months to go before I can retire..........I'll still have plenty to do when I get there  
     
    thanks for look'in in and the good word!   so good to see you
