Terrific work Bob !   

[popeye the sailor]

well........at least you cleaned the area up a little       looks better sitting there like that.   you made some visible progress Bob.....don't kid yourself.  you got more on the deck  and the wheelhouse looks great.  your doing a swell job.

 

lots of times Bob.......they don't look like much.  cripes,  I look at some of mine and I think what a mess I'm making.   but then......you put that one piece on,  or you do that little bit of paint.......and it all comes together     little bites.......chew,  swallow and repeat     one fellow told me that there's only one way to eat an elephant........and I thought......EWWWWWWW....and the trunk too!    {I won't say the part I REALLY thought}

[captainbob]

Captain Bob is truly a master of arts. Very nice ships and smooth finish

[captainbob]

Thanks Kees.   But it's Cap 'n' Bob  I was never a captain.

We all live by the saying, “measure twice and cut once”.   That should also go for research.  Back on entry #117 I built the wheelhouse and thought it was good, and many of you agreed.  Then more research.  I found a picture of the Pequot showing paneling on the structures on the upper deck.  After trying three or four methods of paneling I finally think I figured out how.  Then I took these pictures.  UUGH!  I should be able to clean it up some, besides as everyone says, “pictures look worse than the real thing”.  Anyway, here are the pictures.

[popeye the sailor]

you put a lot of detail into the wheel house Bob.......she looking great!  don't lose the pattern yet......you still have the aft structure to do      I'd say you nailed it  

[captainbob]

Thanks Popeye,  I'm glad I don't have a time limit.

 

Bob

[captainbob]

It's been a fun / Frustrating build so far.  It's all about what to do next - but not too soon.

 

Bob

[mtaylor]

Uggh???  Really????    Nope.. wonderful, sir.  Just wonderful on the paneling.

[captainbob]

Thanks Mark.  One more deckhouse to go and it's the CO's quarters.  I've got to do good on that one.

^{As we say each part is a model of its own.  So I made the model of the pilot house.  As I’m typing this I realize I still need to add the navigation lights.  But here are the pictures.}
