cog Posted February 23, 2013 Share #94 Posted February 23, 2013 Weathering looks real good on them, as if you've used them a lot. The openings in the tule looks to be hexagonal. Which in my eyes makes it even more realistic. Darn fine piec'a work mate!!! Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

Salty Sea Dog Posted February 23, 2013 Share #95 Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Popeye! I'm so glad that you put this build back up -I was really enjoying it before the crash. Those lobstah traps are the coolest! I too am amazed at how quickly you can knock stuff out. You are like the Chuck Norris of model ship building!

I'm not a weathering buff......shows that there's still hope for me yet. the skis are for the Phylly C, Mark.......I think you know that and your pulling my leg that's a heck of a compliment Buck......although I don't picture myself as the 'Norris ' type. but, you know what they say about 'ole Chucky boy!......LOL!

trippwj Posted February 24, 2013 Share #99 Posted February 24, 2013 fantastic job on the lobster traps! What are you contemplating for hardware on them? Most would have minimal metal (rusts too easily and ruins the wood). perhaps a cobblestone or old chunk of granite in the house for a weight? Lobsters on water skies....interesting visual!

popeye the sailor Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share #114 Posted February 26, 2013 thanks Frank.......I thought of you after I had done them. I don't do too much weathering. I try to do it......it looks good. I look at it later though and I get the feeling that I messed up.......so I fix it. I'm too keyed into the 'clean look' , to be able to come up with a totally weathered build. I see others do it and it looks fantastic.......like your hull! thanks for the good word.
