US Brig Syren by Augie - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64


Recommended Posts

welcome back Augie...just fyi for the next time. Last time I went fishing for trout, everyone around me was fly fishing, or casting/trolling and having absolutely NO luck...I sat on the bank using salmon eggs, and just tossing the line out about 10 feet and reeling in slowly...we could see 15-20 trout following the one one who had swallowed the salmon-egg covered hook right up to about 6 inches from the bank every single time. Caught our limit (3 of us) in less than 30 minutes. Worked every day for 9 days!

Thanks for the tip.  But the waters we fish are fly/lure only....so we can't throw 'em a ham sandwich :D  :D

 

WELCOME HOME.  Was thinking about you two.  Hope all went well and my wishes for many, many happy years together.

Hi Augie, just time for a quick note.....there is a Confederacy for sale on ebay by modelexpo it currently is $1.29.   Here is the link, you might follow and maybe try to buy it if yoyu are interested.  You can usually buy these a lot cheaper than retail.  More on my travels later....so far the shipyard is closed.

Thanks again folks.  Plan to be back in the shipyard in a few days.  My case is HERE so it's time to get to work.  I'll be posting a few photos here for those who were curious about the cases supplied by ME.

Was it that pesky Moose again Augie?

 

Glad to hear it was nothing serious. Take your time recovering - you don't want to end up back there in a hurry!

 

I'm surprised you-know-who isn't demanding pictures from the hospital though! :P :P :P

Grant-  don't make me laugh too hard  :D  :D

 

GOOD NEWS-  ME had a terrific sale on Confederacy so she's ordered.  Sorry John, not $1.29 but a darned good deal anyway!!!!!!!!  That should keep me busy for the next 2.5 years :)

Grant,

 

If there are pictures of a build, I will yell for it.

But not for a hospital.

When I want to see those, I just have to go around the corner and there is one…...

 

@ Augie,

 

Great that you have ordered the confed.

I know that that is another beauty.

I reserve a front seat at the first row when you started on her.

Augie,

 

Congrat's on ordering the Confederacy. Reserve me a seat right next to Sjors.
