I got to do a little of everything...all except to chain myself to the tables. had a fine repast of a pound of steamers, followed with {estimate here} a 10 oz steak w/ carmeled onions {I skipped the salad}. with my son having to get ready for work and such, the festivities got a bit choppy.......but I did manage to get a piece of cake I have things to do on the Half Moon build..........and then I will resume this build. hope to have an update for you all real soon! augie, lb0190, Piet and 8 others 11 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share #470 Posted September 2, 2015 Augie's correct John......they are clams {in the shell} steam cooked or boiled briefly, and served with hot water, broth, and butter. when the admiral and I got married, I had never tried them.......since then, I eat more than the admiral traditionally, the water is to wash the sand off {if any}.....dip them in the clam broth to bring out more flavor, and the butter to taste. me........I just go from butter to mouth yes Carl.......the admiral made the cake.........I grilled the steaks it was a very nice day. there's still cake if your coming over Piet, mtaylor, GLakie and 4 others 7 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share #473 Posted October 15, 2015 hello everyone........life got in the way again. a different scenario though....I took on a part time job. it's been a bit hectic, but I'm beginning to get use to it. I tried to do a little here and there......some was alright......other time it might have been better to leave it alone. turn the way-back machine to Sept 2nd.........I misjudged the guy lines for the #2 funnel, coming up too short. I added in the missing guy lines.......but one side did not cement.......or the cement did not take to the thread. when I went to cut the excess......one came undone. I removed the offending vent and shaved down the platform it was on. I attempted to scribe in some plank lines, in a effort to hide the flat spot, and the vent was moved in enough to run the new lines so.......it came down to cementing in another length of thread and redo it. this time I used CA and it worked. this was done on the 12th. I did some touch ups here and there.........but that was about it until yesterday and today. I did some paint work to the funnel tops. the outside is done in flat black.......the throat of the tops is done with the black I made for the hull. there are grates that will fit over the opening.......but I wanted to make sure which end was the front. the first two tops have been cemented in place. I've also begun on the railings for the third funnel. when this one is rigged, the entire assembly will be cemented into the hull. I have had this part of the ship on my desk for the past few weeks now........figured I'd work on it whenever I got the chance. all that I've been able to do to it, is hit it....like I did the other evening. I knocked of the two aft cranes...broke the tube on the #4 funnel, as well as the ladder on the #3 funnel. so while I do what damage control that needs to be done, I will continue with 'er til she is complete. .........that's what I'm hoping for canoe21, clearway, mobbsie and 20 others 23 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
