captainbob Posted November 30, 2016 Author #45 Posted November 30, 2016 Not much to show. The holiday took a lot of my time. But I did get the hull painted.

captainbob Posted December 7, 2016 Author #52 Posted December 7, 2016 Lawrence, computers are a pain and sometimes I hate them but then I remember no matter how slow they are we wouldn’t have MSW to keep in touch and have that comradery I need to keep going with boat modeling. Julie, I love the way you think, It’s like me. Welcome aboard, Gerhard, I’ll try to keep you entertained. Now here is where I am now. The saw blade came yesterday so I need to mount that and cut wood for the other boat. For this one I’m moving right along. I built the walls for the saloon. They’re not finished yet but placing them in the hull helps clarify the finished boat. Bob michael mott, mtaylor, Canute and 15 others 18 Every build is a learning experience.

Omega1234 Posted December 8, 2016 #59 Posted December 8, 2016 Hi Bob Nothing that's designed nowadays, (it seems), can come even close to the grace and classiness of the designs that were typical of the era of your boat. I guess that's why your boat has such widespread appeal. Oh.... and, what a top job you're doing, too!
