				popeye the sailor got a reaction from Piet in Cutty Sark by NenadM
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

				popeye the sailor got a reaction from lb0190 in Niagara by lb0190 - Model Shipways - 1/64
Augie's passing took a lot of us by surprise. safe to say for all that we were fortunate to have had the pleasure of his company while he was here. he will be missed.
"take care of those you call your own....and keep good company."
looking forward for your return............make sawdust, not war!
