popeye the sailor got a reaction from DSiemens in America by popeye the sailor - FINISHED - Billing Boats - 1:72 scale
thanks Anja, Sherry and Sjors. the admiral is such a good soul....she really loves what I do. when she heard my elation, she came over to look at her.......commented on how nice she looked. then, with three other hulls on the tables, she asked me if I had another one to work on...........I should have said no

bassically, the only things left to do is to finish the anchors, and rig the jib's lower corner. after the anchors were painted, the chain was tied on using copper thread.
the same was done for the starboard side.
this finishes off the build........I had some fun with this one. the kit is very well done......perhaps a little sub standard in a few areas, but tweaking them, to enhance them, added to the challenge. I also didn't want to add too much, as I did in the last couple of kit builds.
thanks to everyone who looked in and commented on this build....I really appreciated it greatly

Congrats on finishing another fantastic build Popeye. You've only got five things going on right now so I'm sure we'll see another build log popping up soon? In all seriousness, your attention to detail and step-by-step build log have me wanting to add Billing's America to my kit inventory.

I assure you.....good sirs.....that I am not a slum boss. they were in this 'condition' when I hired them. when I posted the ad for the wharf, I specified that they have some nautical background, and that they have no residual 'baggage'. this is about as 'baggage-less' as you can get.....so, I hired them.

Man, you really have parred your operation down to the bare bones, Popeye, but your crew need more backbone - they're gutless - I wouldn't rib you about that!

Thanks for your comments guys.Runner 63 it's not good close up looks like she's just arrived in Aussie.Popeye i'll put a temporary rope on the gaff,good idea.Thanks Frank, i've now done one line each side makes sense to keep the mast straight,just waiting for glue to dry on the 3rd shroud,once you get the first one you know how to do it so should be easy now.

OK, I'm BACK!!!!!!!! The relatives have headed back East with Syren none the worse for wear. She did manage to survive a Tsunami started by an errant can of Coke. Whew
But you folks have been having so much fun in my absence that I feel I must contribute something --- even a minor update.
So here are the mainmast lower yard buntlines and falls. Yes, they're hard to see.
I know I promised an overview shot but I want to finish the buntlines on the foremast first and set the next yards.
And tomorrow I simply MUST go catch some fish
But it's great to be back tying knots and herding the spiders !

Looking great Augie! Have fun fishing. We'll be waiting with, um ... 'baited breath' for those overall shots.

I would have asked clara......but she was bitten in half by a great white..........so we use her for her clerical ablilities. I wouldn't have hired her, but she's Chester's half cousin........literally
