  LOVE this display concept !!   I think I'll use something like this for a couple of future builds.

Thanks Johnny

i think that a ship in standing rigging displayed on a launch way looks far better than 2 brass pedestals. It draws your attention to the ship for a good look.

Update on Bluenose

The after affects of a rampaging 30lb Main Tabby Coon. It’s my granddaughter’s cat which is still growing 

(1 year old and has 4 more years of growing). She was very upset and thought I would be mad but I laughed. 
I told her if I can build the ship out of alot timber I sure as hell I can fix it. 
Update: She felt better!

You can rebuild!  It doesn’t look too bad. Especially after a 30lb marauder.

Good thing that the giraffe didn't join in the shipyard game!

He tried but I worried more about the possible Hippopotomus  attack.

Piece of cake compared to enigma antenna wiring on U-47. Going to put off Bluenose ( Model Shipways ) for a couple days  to be on repair duty.  It will make my granddaughter Echo feel better and that’s a priority for me.

Update on traumatic injuries suffered by Bluenose after being attacked by a 30lb Maine Tabby Coon requiring skilled surgery to drill and brass pin his broken limb. He is recovering now in his launch way with a splint holding the traumatic fracture straight while the cement dries. Best Admiral Rick

There is a reward placed on this rampaging 30lb Maine Tabby Coon’s head. 10,000 Deutsche Marks after all the damage was done.

The hunt for the 30lb feline marauder continues leaving the U-47 crew free to assist in the repair of Bluenose since they are both in dry dock next to each other. First Mate James reported that the feline marauder has been spotted in the immediate area and we are hoping for a quick kill so we can return to U-47’s launch and the party that follows. . Repair on Bluenose is almost complete. Both U-47 and Bluenose were savagely attacked and luckily he left Picket Boat #1 alone.
