 That looks great, Bob. I'm impressed with your water especially considering it's your first attempt.

Ditto what Keith said.  Fantastic job!  A well deserved keg of Kraken rum for you, the first mate, and the twins!!

 There ain't no backtrackin' when you start drinkin' kraken.

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

To me it looks better sailing, without the oars in the water. Nice work.

Fantastic work Bob. Maybe you can find some Viking Oarsmen? Just a thought…

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.
