PAnderson Posted December 26, 2015 #211 Posted December 26, 2015 Eric, she came out absolutely gorgeous. That is some nice work. I really like the simulated caulking, that came out really nice. Now, on to bigger and better things.I agree with Mike, you have some real potential talent and your next project should be great. The Cheerful sounds like a great plan. Carry on matey, Paul Canute, Erik W and Jack12477 3
Stuntflyer Posted December 26, 2015 #212 Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Beautifully done Erik! Having seen some photos of your other projects it comes as no surprise that you would build a Longboat to be proud of. I'm really looking forward to following your next project, whatever that might be.
