Knocklouder Posted May 24 Author Share #34 Posted May 24 This journey is almost over, just a few things left to do, but not sure of which way I like to display it. With oars stoed or in the water. So most likely just going to let it sit for awhile then come back and add some extra stuff. I may just paint the background , some sky, birds, fish jumping 😀 penguins maybe. I have to wait a bit to completely finish, but it only touch ups and a bit of paint, so almost finished. Finished enough for me to cleanup the shipyard and start another model. Thanks for looking. Hope it was fun, I had a blast. Looking forward to The King of the Mississippi River Boat, looks like a lot of tinkering, neanderthals love to tinker lol Bob M.

Louie da fly Posted May 24 Share #35 Posted May 24 To me it looks better sailing, without the oars in the water. Nice work.

Knocklouder Posted May 24 Author Share #38 Posted May 24 Last night the First Mate and I discusse weather to display it with the oars stoed or on the water. We decided that if I don't have any crew rowing the boat, we should stoe them,it looks better. A few members agreed that they would look better with oarsmen. So I will look into getting them later. So I am going to mark this finished, but with the option to revisit later to tinker with it. This is were she will sit for most part, I may move it around a bit. Thank you all for your thoughts and advice on what I should do. Thank you MSW/NRG, helping me learn how to build ships. Thank you for all members who followed along and encouraged me along the way. Thank you everyone. I just love modeling, time to start another model today. lol See you on the next build. Your very great full shipmate Knocklouder. Bob M.
