patrickmil Posted March 30, 2013 Share #152 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) That's some incredible work Frank. The furled sails and weathering are really setting this build apart from others. Maybe you already mentioned it, but what material are you using for your sails?

riverboat Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share #157 Posted March 30, 2013 Hi Patrick...... glad you stopped by....... the addition of the sails seems to have given her a more weathered look .... I bought the fabric at "JoAnn's " fabric and craft store. It's a cotton fabric real light in weight. I thought I still had the receipt but I don't . If you have A Jo Ann's out your way, PM me your address and I'll send you a piece of the fabric, then you can go to the store and they'll help you find it . OK? I'll send you the fabric if you want even if you don't have a JOAnns .That way you can go to some other fabric store if you want. Augie...... Thanks for the boost!! ...... I have the same regards for your Syren..... by the way, you'd better keep your Syren on alert !!!!!!! Sjors...... thank you , thank you , thank you. I was worried there for awhile that I might have to steel plate my Supply to save her from your cottonball bombardment !! Sherry....... always nice hearing from you...... that sail really looks a whole lot bettter being full and attached to the mast. I'm glad I found the Surprise picture to help me..... I see your San Felipe is coming along nicely, keep up the good work. Hi Carl........ Thank You for your nice comments.... glad you like the look!!!

riverboat Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share #171 Posted March 31, 2013 Good Evening Moobsie........ thank you sir for your gracious remarks....... this build is going to be easy to top, I'll just build the next one on top of this one , I know ,it's a corny joke but, laugh anyway !! I'd be hard pressed to try and out do our compatriot Voldamar. I think he'd better start looking for bigger quarters since you "Aggied" him on !

Maybe will be easier make a photos and with them short comment. Nice inspiration for next work, i think that it gonna forced me to more enjoy building.
