captainbob Posted May 21, 2013 Author #62 Posted May 21, 2013 I’m sure most of us have had that feeling, the build is complete but it just doesn’t feel right. Well that’s what happened to me with the dory. I decided I wasn’t finished with the dory build. I had placed fishing items in the dory but it just didn’t feel complete. I tried to start the little yawl, which is my next build, but I kept coming back to the dory. Finally I decided to make it into a diorama. To place the dory in the ocean, at home, as it were, where it spent most of its time. Many fishermen used trawl lines but this fellow is fishing with a hand line. I just seemed right. I got a lot of help from several of you here at MSW. But I especially want to thank Dan for taking me through it step by step. Dan, this one’s for you. Bob Now maybe I can build the yawl for the admiral. Chasseur, trippwj, MarisStella.hr and 3 others 6 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

Snowmans Posted May 28, 2013 #71 Posted May 28, 2013 That is a nice looking dory Bob, great colors and detail. I have the same plans and will be building one once I finish the Triton cross section. There are a few tips I will use when I do mine - the buckets look easy the way you have made them. Quote
