Elijah Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share #662 Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks David. I have not decided on the case yet. Though, it's not done yet! I still have to finish and build the main and fore gaffs, as well as all the rigging for them. After that are the flags and I'm done. Thanks for stopping by!

Elijah - I had a case made for my gun station build. I'm blown away at how it looks under plexiglass. It starts looking like some sort of museum display. Every time I walk by it I stop, lean down and have a look inside. My point being - get a case! It'll cost ya, but it adds a whole new dimension to the overall look. You might check around your area for a plastics company. I found a local shop and had them make it. Canute and Elijah 2 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

Elijah Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share #666 Posted March 15, 2017 As of 8:26 this morning my Phantom has been finished! I have yet to get some photos of it, but when I do I will post them! Thank you all very much for following along with this build and giving me plenty of help and advice, as well as compliments and constructive criticism! I hope to see you all in my next build!

On a far brighter note; my word, what a top job you've done on your ship. She's got heaps of character and heaps of charm, all combined with a large dollop of 'wow'.

rshousha Posted March 16, 2017 Share #680 Posted March 16, 2017 Elijah, This is wonderful work, well done! Getting to the end of a wood ship project is a really good sign of things to come, whatever you do. I love the lines on the boat but, after reading through your build, I did not see the designer's name. I may have missed that. Do you know who drew and built the original?

Elijah Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share #681 Posted March 16, 2017 Patrick, no worries. I'm sure you follow a number of builds, as do I. I can't even keep up with all of them most of the time ! The gunboat log should start in a few weeks, but I'm not going to bet on it! I've learned a lot about the reliability of over optimistic predictions . Thanks Ken! Thanks Rick!
