Script Posted September 14, 2013 Author #102 Posted September 14, 2013 Sjors, Thanks! No more decorations on this tug but who knows what it will take to get my next project in a prime display location...... Mark, Thanks! I suspect that come the Holidays I'll get......."Honey, Can't you get them so we can turn them on?"..... ...Oh, well...... The attached will be the last in process pics. I don't intend to add any flags as I think paper flags do not add anything to a model...... The blocks on the penny are under magnification. I had enough trouble even then drilling them out for the line....just to add to the lifeboat davits. I'm going to take the Lackawanna outside today and get some shots for inclusion in the completed gallery.

augie Posted September 14, 2013 #103 Posted September 14, 2013 Ah.....I see you found the obligatory pie-plate size penny. I think Model Expo sells them But seriously, you've done a great job on this lady. The wood and metal work are most attractive and the overall color is perfect. She is a proud addition to the MSW Gallery and your own collection. Can't wait to see the final shots.

lamarvalley Posted September 14, 2013 #104 Posted September 14, 2013 Holy cow Jim, those blocks are so small they're hardly there... how do you drill something that minute... yikes! She looks great.... you did a beautiful job and you can be quite proud Script 1 Quote

But............................................................................................................................ Why did you have to reveal the old pie plate trick????? Truth be told, that penny was extra small.....it shrank from the heat....... :huh: Randy, Thanks for stopping by! Appreciate your comments! I believe I used a #72 bit....but it was so small I'm guessing.... Sjors, Thanks! Always enjoy your comments and enthusiasm.... My laundry list has the Marseille by Mamoli, a couple railroad engines, a Sopwith Camel and the Confederacy(already got the brass cannons and figurehead from Chuck's company) but will wait for Augie to finish his before even opening the box! I'm going to put a couple finish pics here as well...

augie Posted September 14, 2013 #108 Posted September 14, 2013 She looks even more spectacular outside . But you have two problems: 1) If you wait to start on Confed until I'm finished, you will open the box to a pile of petrified wood. And..... 2) I think you deserve some 'warning points' for taking unfair advantage of we poor landlocked souls on MSW. In that middle photo, she looks full scale !!
