Picket Boat #1 by RVB (Rick) - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1/24

Fantastic work Rick, it's a lovely looking ship, congratulations. I'm glad you and your granddaughter survived the loading of the torpedo, had me worried!

[GrandpaPhil]

Congratulations, Rick!  Very nicely done!

[RVB]

James we were both worried also but I was more worried about her teenage laziness since she lives with me. To be single at 77 and live with a teenager can be hazardous to your mental health!

To you and Phil thanks for the support and accompanying me on the build.

The accompanying journal log also made the build more fun. Hope everyone enjoyed that part of the build also.

[Ryland Craze]

Congratulations on finishing this model.  I have enjoyed following your build log.

Since being a new member 

since July that means alot Ryland because it makes me feel that I am truely accepted into this wonderful community. I have been building model ships for years and always alone without help or encouragement. Wish that I found this forum years ago. It made the build so much more enjoyable with followers and input. 
By the way Ryland after looking at your profile I have you beat by 8 months with time on this earth. 
Thanks Again   Rick

From Rick to Rick

Thanks     From the log narrative, my granddaughters accompaniment to the actual build it was fun and enjoyable. 
Rick from one DDS to another it was a hell of alot better than working in a mouth. 
You are welcome to join my granddaughter and myself on our next journey to the far ends of the WORLD.
