Maine Lobster Boat by popeye the sailor - FINISHED - Midwest Products


Recommended Posts

is anyone really sure?  ;)   the more I view the site,  and see all the wonderful thing other folks do on their builds,  even I sit back every once in a while,  and thing how a particular aspect would look on a build I've finished.  ;)    I'm afraid so.......it's finished.  ;)   I do tend to think though,  that this would be an even bigger problem for the scratch builder.   this was the final piece of the puzzle.....the subject is complete......and the line has been drawn.   I will follow the line,  to the end of the line,  which always leads to the next one.  ;):)

 

 

thanks Wayne and John........you never know what my next stroll through the doll house furnishings will stir!  :)

Popeye you should start a poetry thread in the shore leave area I enjoy your poems.

keep that thought alive Sjors.........I think those are words I can live by  ;)   "there is no build,  that at one time or another,  that an addition can't be made."  I thank you......Rear Admiral Sjors  :)

 

thanks Dave.......I think it unhealthy,  if you don't look back.  I find it a good way to see the progress you've made and the experience you've gained.    never be discouraged.......but encouraged  ;)

 

I'm feel a bit humble at this point Daniel.......thank you for the compliment :)  perhaps one day,  I will.   gee.........wouldn't it be cool to have a site poet?   I do recall though,  that such a thread has already been started................by now probably,  long since buried.   I do see and read events on the site though,  that does cause verses to come to mind.   due to the restrictions on socializing,  I hesitate to write them,  as they occur.   I suppress them and find other ways to reply.  I'll give it some thought.......thank you again......I really appreciate your thoughts....glad you like them  ;)

Hey Popeye, I think your ski's are too short mate and you need to redo them, that may prolong the build for a little while for you. :D  :D :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  

Don't ya just hate it when that happens, :D  :D

 

She looks really great mate, very well done, be proud. :cheers:

gee Mobbsie.........Barbie was out of town.......what's a poor sailor to do ?????? :D :D :D :D

 

thanks Frank.......it was about time I got back to do this.   it's really a bother to put a build on a shelf like this,  knowing that something still needs to be done.  well.....now it's done.......I can walk away now,  and know that I don't have to think about it anymore.

 

thank you both for you kind words  ;)

thanks Nils.......I guess it's a good thing I did.   I was looking at the last page or two.......where the images should be are simply the photo numbers.  I clicked on one of them,  and it just sat there spinning it's wheels......never got to see the picture.   I sure hope that didn't happen to you.

 

this was a simple case of over embellishment.....I went too far and ruined the subject.  rather than trash it,  I made up the second hull.......and there you have it......a dual build.   this is the only build I've that's other than Billing's.    it was still fun  :)    thanks for the good word!
