jwvolz Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share #274 Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks very much everyone. Well, I'm back from my Ireland trip and that is one fantastic and beautiful country. By far the nicest, most friendly people I've met anywhere. It was great to spend a week with my sons and my father in law playing some great links golf and seeing the sights. Pictures don't do it justice, but our round of golf at Ballybuinion Golf Club, right on the Atlantic Ocean was absolutely the most wild weather I've ever played in. Horizontal rain that felt like ice pellets in the 45 degrees F temperatures, due to the winds gusting to 50 miles per hour straight off the ocean. Even our caddies said the first seven holes were the worst he'd ever experienced! We did have some decent conditions during the week as this picture shows :-) The Cliffs of Moher. Crazy windy there as well! Now, back to work on Granado! WackoWolf, gorington, gjdale and 5 others 8 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W.

ASAT Posted June 3, 2015 Share #276 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Joe, this has got to be one of the best Granado builds on MSW. IMHO that title used to belong to Glenn Barlow but I think this build surpasses even that one - awesome joinery and building skills, great creativity in presentation and color choices but the rigging is the clincher, great job all around!!

jwvolz Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share #277 Posted June 4, 2015 GRANADO IS FINISHED !!!!! After 13 months and two days, she is complete. I do still have to make a permanent mounting and case at some point. It is a bit of a bittersweet moment, with things wrapping up, but I am very pleased with how she looks. A big thank you to Timmo for the inspiration and ideas I "borrowed" from his Granando build log, as well as everyone else who looked in, "liked" commented or made a suggestion along the way. Thank you! On to the pictures. I'll put them in the gallery soon. gjdale, egkb, CaptainSteve and 24 others 27 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W.

Landlubber Mike Posted June 6, 2015 Share #289 Posted June 6, 2015 Great choice Joe. I have the kit, and had a hard time deciding between it and the Pegasus. I took a bunch of pictures last fall of the ship when I was in CT - John posted a bunch of them on his blog. Happy to send you any if you would like to see them.

jwvolz Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share #292 Posted June 6, 2015 I travel extensively for work and should have a New England trip in the next few months to enable a stop in Mystic. Worst case, I make a special trip. since it is only 4.5 hours. I guess I last visited there in about 2005. I've picked up a lot of photos from the web, but as I progress I'll let you know if there's something I'm lacking Mike. I'll give a heads up here Eamonn, no problem.
