MikeB4 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share #93 Posted February 27, 2016 I have finally reached completion. This project has brought me both great satisfaction and agony from time to time. The fact that I got to build this challenging little model online with all of you is still amazing to me.I think about the models I built as a kid, I never dreamed of how someday we'd have this technology that would connect us all. This is a fantastic website and I hope it will be around for years to come.Thank you for all your support.

Erik W Posted February 28, 2016 Share #98 Posted February 28, 2016 Mike, Your longboat looks great! Good job!! I was wondering if you had been working on it recently. Do you have any plans to build another boat/ship?

MikeB4 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share #101 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Eric, As far as working on this recently, yes I just finished the the last thing on this boat the weekend before. I found the time to take pictures on Saturday. If your asking me whether I worked on this consistently from beginning to end, the answer is no. especially in the last few months, I had very little time unfortunately to devote to this hobby. As far as whether I'll be building anything else, I will eventually since I do have seven boat and ship model kits in my closet. I'm in no hurry, I have limited space for displaying my models. It looks like your off to a good start on your next project, I'll be watching.
