Erik W Posted March 1, 2016 Share #31 Posted March 1, 2016 Your Boston looks amazing!! I was going to ask for larger photos, but I see above that you're dealing with an older computer. Any chance when you break the camera out next time, we can get some closer close-ups? Thanks!

overdale Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share #32 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I'll do my best Erik. At least these are bigger than the last photos so I'm going in the right direction! Dan.

Elijah Posted March 2, 2016 Share #33 Posted March 2, 2016 Dan, I like the look of those masts! You must be confident to photograph your model around so many trees! I would worry about masts (sticks) falling on board! mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote -Elijah Current build(s): Continental Gunboat Philadelphia by Model Shipways https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/15753-continental-gunboat-philadelphia-by-elijah-model-shipways-124-scale/ Completed build(s): Model Shipways Phantom http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?showtopic=12376 Member of: The Nautical Research Guild N.R.M.S.S.

CharlieZardoz Posted March 2, 2016 Share #34 Posted March 2, 2016 Id love a super closeup of some of the stern detailing. I see some flags and such. The model with the masts is looking super sweet!

mtaylor Posted March 3, 2016 Share #35 Posted March 3, 2016 She is super nice, Dan. I too am hoping for some close-ups. From what I can see, any close-ups will be spectacular.

overdale Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share #36 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) In response to the overwhelming demand for 'close ups' I have pushed my steam powered computer to the very edge and reposted these pics in higher quality. Hopefully they will open when clicked on at about three times the actual size and show more detail.. Dan.

Talos Posted March 17, 2016 Share #46 Posted March 17, 2016 Man, I totally missed this earlier. Great build! I always liked the lines of Boston and it's really nice seeing her and another piece of early USN history built up in wood. She's so clean too. Keep up the great work!

overdale Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share #47 Posted March 17, 2016 Thanks Talos, glad you like her. I am thinking about building her again to keep for myself this time. It would be much quicker to build the second time but I suspect I won't get the chance, too many other jobs in the queue.
