Having grown up on the east coast of Canada, lobster boats are common to me and the livelihood of so many fishermen.  Have cracked the box and am studying the manual closely, researching various boats, looking for other build logs and will be starting the build shortly.   Just a reminder to those who might be interested, I do stream when I am building so come and hang out and chat about model building. -  https://www.twitch.tv/bartbandy

Hi Scott,

 

I’m currently building this kit too. An older version # 953. I owned and worked a full size version out of Portland, Maine in the early. 2000’s. I’m looking forward to watching your process.

Cool, do you have a build log of your own on the go?   I am sure myself and others would love to see it.

I'll follow along with this and see how it goes.  I built the bluejacket lobster boat (before I discovered MSW, so no build log) but I don't recall seeing a build log of this Midwest kit.
