themadchemist Posted September 1, 2013 #217 Posted September 1, 2013 Hello Børge I must say I just found your log and I'm absoloutely amazed at your mad metal working skills. The metal detailing makes an already beautiful craft, an even more beautiful model representation. I'm sure I'll be looking your log over several more times as each repeat through it I see new detail. You are a truely gifted artisan and thank you for sharing your build. I find that seeing what others can achieve, to be such an great inspiration for me to attempt to achieve more myself. Thanks for the inspiration. Børge 1
Børge Posted September 1, 2013 Author #218 Posted September 1, 2013 Borge, you're building a model of the yacht that, ever since I started sailing/canoeing sixty-something years ago, I've regarded as the most sleek, most beautiful little craft there's ever been! And you're doing it beautifully! Will you be putting sails on this exquisite model? Hi Brian, and thanks for thoose nice words. Yes, she will have sails, they are already made, i hope during next week to start the rigging, and install of the sails. I am just as exited as you to se how the Dragon will look when fully rigged, and ready for the "maiden voyage" I soon have to look into the making of a displaycase so i can put her on display i our livingroom.
