Papa Posted June 16, 2020 Share #38 Posted June 16, 2020 Nice build. Did the kit supply the crew figures? They really make the model jump out at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew were purchased from an eBay seller in Russia. I special ordered additional oarsmen. I also did a lot of additional detail work, such as planking that was not part of the original kit. Thanks for your compliments. Quote Gallery Photos of My Charles W Morgan Currently working on New Bedford Whale Boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
