captainbob Posted September 19, 2015 Author #98 Posted September 19, 2015 OK. I did it again. I finished the boat and didn’t take pictures until the end. I keep telling myself, ‘next time I will take pictures and let my friends see how I build’, but I keep forgetting. Anyway I had a seated lady figurine that I show as sailing the boat. The admiral says she thinks this dragon is better than the first and she is happy with it. Now I get to go on to other things without feeling guilty. What a relief. Here are the pictures.
