Ken_2 Posted April 19 Author Share #62 Posted April 19 (edited) Thats it, I have completed the build, and I think the furled sail is the pose I will display this boat. I sure appreciate this forum for all the information it provides. And especially those people who built their Fifie's before me or are in work building theirs now. It is an inspiring community, and all are very talented. I get better with each kit I build - but looking at other builds I see even better skills. All the insight, tips and examples continue to inform me of how to be better. Also, thanks for all the comments as they are encouraging. God bless you all, and thanks again. - Ken Edited April 19 by Ken_2 sails to sail (there is only one) JacquesCousteau, ccoyle, David W and 4 others 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted April 20 Share #65 Posted April 20 Beautiful build, Ken. I like the furled sail look since it doesn't hide all those little details that took so much time to finish. I can only hope mine turns out somewhere near as nice your perfect Fifie Ken_2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
