G'day, Frank!  Just say when - we did steak on the grill last night since you never showed up!

 

 

you did steaks on the grill!!!??!!     you must have scared the crap out of Bambie!

[riverboat]

OMG Popeye...... Wayne must've forgotten all about that cute little thing!!

[Sjors]

No Popeye,

 

When Anja and myself where at Wayne's place yesterday evening, Bambi was walking just in front of us…...

I think you have to look at the corral that is close to your house and you will find out that there is one cow missing       

 

[riverboat]

Frank, is Skype also counting ??????

 

[popeye the sailor]

I wish I was Sjors........then I wouldn't have to put up with this rual city noise.....frigg'in loud cars!

 

I'll have to look into getting skype! 

[riverboat]

YES< do it Popeye, its a free download, both Mobbsie and myself have multiple connections ,so 3, 4  or more can talk at the same time.

 

 

Sjors, yeah Skype counts

Edited August 13, 2013 by riverboat

[Sjors]

Popeye,

 

Get Skype !!!!!!!

It's not only Mobbsie and Frank that we are talking to.

Also Wayne and Grant.

Yes we go international…….

The only thing is that we have to deal with the different time zones.

Most of the time that we can talk to you guy's are if it is in the evening with us and in the morning for you.

But believe me….IT IS FUN !!!!!

SO GET SKYPE !!!!!!!

Terrific job on those anchors! You've achieved a high level of realism!

[riverboat]

just another quick update...... I redid one of the  catheads to accept some rigging and attached the rope to the anchor rings. I'll try and get the other one finished up tonite. I was a little hesitant on the rope size, but I think this size 1.5 looks a little better than the size they included with the kit, it was really huge! . All input is welcomed

Frank,

 

Looks great......!

 

Cheers,

 

Jim

[augie]

Rope looks good Frank.  Nice whipping.

[popeye the sailor]

very nice frank........weren't your catheads attached to the ship.............OK.......what have you done with it?

[riverboat]

Thanks Jim and Augie for looking in......... your comments are always appreciated.......

 

yours too Popeye.... yeah ,you're right , they were attached to the ship  ... I took them off  ... in doing so I used alcohol to loosen up the glue

which it did, but it also turned some of the wood white  , but that's OK  , the ship looks like hell anyway  

Frank

[augie]

' the ship looks like hell anyway   '

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[mtaylor]

Frank,

 

Well done on the anchors and hawse.  Hmm.... interesting concept, take the catheads off to rig them and in the process, weather them some more.   

[riverboat]

Augie and Mark......sometimes goofs are a blessing    ....... that's the benefit of weathering   ........  nobody will know the difference   

I hope........

[dafi]

Finally worked my way through - wonderful look and feel :-) :-) :-)

 

Keep on going!

Frank, your weathering is inspirational. The anchors are masterpieces in themselves and the rope you have used as replacement looks perfect. Finishing this is right around the corner for you now, huh?

[NAZGÛL]

Missed this thread until now, and boy she looks really really great! I love your paintjob and realism!, well done!

 

 

/Matti

[popeye the sailor]

awwwww,  when you put the catheads back on.....just touch it up with whatever finish you used......that'll take care of the white,  I think.   I wouldn't be able to do that on the Goth........they are nailed down!   hee......hee  {perhaps a wee bit 'o sand'in too}

[Sjors]

Hi Frank,

 

A little late but I like the look of the rope at your anchor !

It looks authenthic…..

 

 

[rdsaplala]

Hi Frank,

 

Wow! Those anchors look so real, excellent weathering work, my friend, and those catheads and falls look top-notch too!

[riverboat]
