lmagna Posted May 26, 2020 Share #63 Posted May 26, 2020 Fantastic build Robert I find it hard to believe that it is the same old Lindburg kit I have sitting in the bottom of my stash somewhere. I would have never dreamed that this could be done with it.

popeye the sailor Posted May 26, 2020 Share #64 Posted May 26, 2020 you did a superb job Robert...........but only a glimpse of the wheelchair........need one more picture here the only thing I see, is that LT. Dan should be up on the mast, rather than the trawl rig.......but that is a very small suggestion. your presentation is fantastic.......actually looks like a lobster trap. you really did a great job with Jenny.........the weathering and the overall looks is awesome! for anyone who has seen the movie, they would think of the movie right away upon seeing it! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! lmagna, Old Collingwood, EJ_L and 2 others 5 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Fright Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share #65 Posted May 26, 2020 I really appreciate all of the kind comments that you have posted. I am always at awe with the amount of talent I see in MSW and, without sites like these, I do not believe that my modeling would have come this far. Many thanks for contributing your comments, thoughts, tips and projects to help others achieve their goals. Here's to all of our upcoming projects - Cheers! p.s. And may our other partners never find out those additional costs that make our dreams come true. 😉 BobG, VTHokiEE, EJ_L and 2 others 5 Quote Robert O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmagna Posted June 4, 2020 Share #69 Posted June 4, 2020 I still say that it is almost a miracle what you have been able to do with this kit Robert. Shouldn't the stand be some kind of seaweed covered old board?

Fright Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share #70 Posted June 5, 2020 Thanks to everyone for following along! I'm slowly coming along with my modeling skills. As you can see, I really like seeing boats/ships that have been in the elements. That's just my personal taste. Lou - I think your idea for the base is a great one! It would keep in theme with the boat. Who knows what the future will wash up? EJ_L 1 Quote Robert O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
