The sails are looking real good Ron... try doing what the guys said to do to get your ropes to lay flat.... should solve your problem ( I hope!!) Frank

Thanks Denis..... Yeah, I'm looking forward to doing something a little different, for me that is, I liked your builds so much that I started looking for something along the same lines as your builds. I happened to be online today looking at tank tracks and came across this vid from Spain and it was about the bonita fishing boats. They are the same as the Marina ll from AL. At least it's a real boat ..... Thanks again for your nice comments....... Frank

Well anyway it's finished . I posted all the photos in the gallery.I just ordered the A.L. Marina ll , it's a bonita boat....should be a fun build....... See ya later!!!..................... and ...........

Thanks Mark.... I don't know about the case, this is a pretty good size ship , I'm afraid it would take up all my savings .... :D Frank

Hi Tony........... How true, How true, ( about the wrinkles ) . I'm not sure what I want to do next. I have 3 kits , MSW Baltimore, AL Swift (1989)version and an Amati Bomb Ketch. I don't have a feel for either of them. I've been looking at AL Marina ll ,which is a nice little tug and an AL Chinese junk . I really like both of these. I'll wait a little though, I might do some armor I have too, just to break away for awhile . We'll see..... take care my friend, thanks for looking in. Frank
-
Elijah...... Glad you liked the Alert, thanks for stopping by..... Denis........ You got me...I haven't got the slightest clue..... I was just curious, maybe someone will come up with something!! Frank
-
Before I thank every one I have a couple questions I'd like to ask...... First ...... if you notice, there are no ratlines on this ship....my question is , how did they get up to the yards to fix the sails?........ Secondly..... look at the bottom of the fore mast and see how crowded it is with the hatch and pin rack..... how could they work the ropes ? ,,, Thanks... Michael....... Thank you for your nice comments...always appreciated. Dan ....... Nice of you to stop by and comment,, thanks. Sjors ....... Not sure what my next one will be .... maybe some armor for a change.... I'll see...Thanks!! Dirk ......... Like I told Sjors not sure what I'm going to do...... thanks again Dirk for your build log it helped me tremendously!!! Peter ........ Thanks for stopping by..... I used 4mm metal rings to attach the fore sails. Kevin ....... Glad you likes the sails, it was fun doing them...thanks for looking in. Frank
