donrobinson Posted September 11, 2016 Author #40 Posted September 11, 2016 Good Morning Robin, I am fortunate enough to be retired and currently have no admiral so allocating more time to ship building only takes one vote which happens to be mine.

donrobinson Posted September 11, 2016 Author #45 Posted September 11, 2016 Thanks Dave, the minimal cost of this kit and for what you get makes it a great deal. With your skills in painting with wood and detailing you would have a blast with her.

Julie Mo Posted September 11, 2016 #46 Posted September 11, 2016 Don, That is one really beautiful boat! I love the way you improvised and made it your own.

Landlubber Mike Posted September 11, 2016 #51 Posted September 11, 2016 Really nice work Don, congratulations on a wonderful build! Those MariStella kits really work themselves into nice models. But your skills in bringing it to life, along with your added touches, really make for a nice model. Nice property too - must be really relaxing sitting on the mower in that beautiful part of the world. Do you get a lot of snow and cold and long winters?

Pierretessier Posted November 26, 2016 #56 Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Don, your work is beautiful, the details of this ship and additions you have done have enspired me to order one from Rick at the Modellers Workshop. At first the Idea of building a small boat was not in my plans. But, After seeing your build and speaking to Zoran from MarisStella I can say with certainty that this WILL be my first build. I am looking forward to sharing my build log once I get started. Edited November 27, 2016 by Pierre Tessier Quote Pierre. All in all it's pretty relaxing when you just take your time.....

mrshanks Posted November 26, 2016 #57 Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Another excellent model completed Don!! Great work. I like your John Deere Zero Turn mower. I have the X380 lawn tractor with 54" cut. Edited November 29, 2016 by mrshanks Quote Mike Shanks

donrobinson Posted November 28, 2016 Author #59 Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks Pierre, it is a fine little kit and I'm sure you will be happy with it. It gives you a little taste of everything in modelling,except rigging, and will defiantly help in any further models you are thinking of building. I hope you enjoy her and I'll be watching for your build log.

donrobinson Posted November 28, 2016 Author #60 Posted November 28, 2016 Hey Mike, Thanks. It is a good machine, the zero turn. I do find myself going back to my lawn tractor on some hot summer days and I want a cold beer, as with the zero turn it's impossible to have a beer and steer at the same time mrshanks 1 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus
