  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
