I think I should delete everyones logs every three or four years.  This way I can see them all again like this one.   It is so enjoyable to watch them take shape as if for the first time again.   That looks fantastic Rusty.

Hi 42Rocker, Popeye, John and Dirk.

 

Thanks for joining me on the trip down memory lane.

 

Funny thing looking at the pictures is my desk still looks 

like the same mess just a different build sitting on it! :huh:

 

Well here are yet more pictures of the head rails.

It will be no surprise to anyone that Chuck generously supplied

me with one of the original resin castings of the figurehead which

I painted and dry brushed to look like the boxwood.
