hey there Mark.......glad to hear it!   Lou was telling me they did fine as well.  well........good......that means I won't lose a day of my vacation because of this crappy virus    

 

I did a little tinkering with this one today.   I started to add the eye bolts to the pin rails...a little more and I can paint them.

then I made a capstan,  using those wooden gear pieces I bought a while ago.

along with the order for the PT boat,  I included a windlass.  it didn't include the sides.....but included a smaller pair of drums.  I kinda adlibbed it a bit and came up with this.

I made a bit more progress with the Agillis.  there's more,  but I only snapped one picture so far........

I'll have more a bit latter

here are more of what I accomplished the other day.  the masts got a coat of paint too......done in the green and flat black.  it may be hard to see......the table is very 'busy' and poor judgment on the lighting.

 

 

 

next will be to get some of these parts in place permanently......then get the cannons in place and rig them.
