fnkershner Posted July 23, 2013 Share #1263 Posted July 23, 2013 Augie - Seems to me it wasn't that long ago you were talking about how close you were to finishing this build and I was suggesting that you would stretch it out until you reached 80 pages! LOL well you blew past that with no problem at all. I guess the new goal is 100? augie 1 Current Builds - 18th Century Longboat, MS Syren Completed Builds - MS Bluenose, Panart BatteStation Cross section, Endevour J Boat Half Hull, Windego Half Hull, R/C T37 Breezing Along, R/C Victoria 32, SolCat 18 On the shelf - Panart San Felipe, Euromodel Ajax, C.Mamoli America, Its a sailor's Life for me!

popeye the sailor Posted July 23, 2013 Share #1271 Posted July 23, 2013 oh....don't go and throw something 'fowl' into the mix although you may be right Floyd.....if this banter keeps up, Augie might just make 100. stretching this out like this though........it's Ok.....but I would think that if he wanted another ship build to continue with....there would be a kit making it's way to his doorstep. I know that it's hard........the last bit of work to any build is the toughest.........the moment that one can say, it's done.....I'm finished.........the release is saddening {believe it or not}....it's the strangest feeling. I felt it strongly when I finished the Nordkap.....because I didn't have anything to back it up. I guess {pause, I got coffee on my 'H'} {OK....unpause} this is another reason why I have so many builds in the works........I finish one.......I just go in the hallway and get another one but in the meantime.......one must find the disipline not to keep adding to the roster these are for the special builds I will be doing down the road.

popeye the sailor Posted July 23, 2013 Share #1277 Posted July 23, 2013 in the middle of the banter.......Sjors comes as the voice of reason.........and in his build, he's talking about living in a tent Augie only has a few pieces left........he's almost finished. we're just keeping his mind occupied......so that when he puts the last line in place, he won't feel so bad. it's a very tramatic moment......don'tcha know! it is a comfort to know though, that he's got a case to make. it will serve as a relief in knowing that he is finished.........no more lines or drops of CA. it's a beautiful ship Augie........can't wait to see the finishing touches riverboat, augie and Sjors 3 I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

augie Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #1278 Posted July 23, 2013 I'm in luck Popeye. Turns out Syren will fit in a (very) slightly smaller case then the one I have available. And the smaller case will (barely) fit in the best display spot in the house. And the Base Commander likes that. So.......... a new case has been ordered and it won't be here for 2 weeks! This provides more time for foot dragging . It also allows for re-visiting the choice for the next model, based on the space left in the house. It would now appear that there is no room left for another fully rigged ship. What a dilemma !!!!!! So now I must consider what's available in a scale I like, in a ship I like. It's complicated. Decisions, decisions........ Oh yeah.......back to the anchors......
