Script Posted April 28, 2013 Author #65 Posted April 28, 2013 The BOB is finished........ At least to the degree that I wish to stop. There are no anchors. (as discussed previously) I have chosen not to add the myriad small flagpoles and paper flags. (They can be added later if the BOB is ever in a boat parade) My upfit does include logs, cotton bales and barrels. No people since the n-scale size looks goofy and there are no other available. This has been a fun build and I'd like to thank all those who just looked in, or added comments or questions. It is quite an incentive to know others are watching and enjoying one's build. My next MSW venture will be the Lackawanna by Bluejacket. I chose this because it was originally used to haul anthracite coal. My grandfather was an anthracite coal miner, working for the Colonial Coal Company at the Natalie Breaker. This ship delivered to markets along the East Coast. Before starting the Lackawanna, I'll be starting my stagecoach on another site. But that won't keep me from here....watching everyone elses builds! I'm actually going to try a 'Sjors' and start the ship before I finish the stagecoach....we'll see how that goes.....

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 29, 2013 #71 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Just beautiful Jim...Congrats and enjoy your Stage Coach. I build a wooden back when i was a teenager. It was a lot of fun... At that time I also built the Robert E. Lee but in plastic. I find the same kit on ebay but now they call it a vintage kit. So why am i called OLD???

Script Posted April 29, 2013 Author #76 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks Andy, I put Bob there to get daylight pics. At no time was there any danger...no animals were used in the building of this product. Thanks Brian, Not sure where it will end up yet......not really my decision ......... Thanks Wayne, Nope...no float test... Unless there is a boat parade and in that case, a truck will pull it on the float..... Thanks Mark! Thanks Anja! Thanks Mario, And Old is a state of mind...... You can prevent "Old"...you can't prevent aging..... :D In Cub Scouts I built the Lee out of popsicle sticks, tongue depressors amd match sticks. Wish it had survived! Gotta watch out for those 'vintage' ads....... :D Thanks Adrieke! Thanks John! Thanks Grant, I'll be posting the stagecoach at www.woodworkforums.com It will be in the Toy Making/Scale Modeling Forum. And the house belongs to the in-laws. They go to Indiana for the summer so we are staying here, probably until September.... Thanks Sjors, And thanks for the vote of confidence for multiple builds.... Since the stagecoach has a couple Winchesters and the Lackawanna is unarmed perhaps I can use the rifles on the ship......
