rfolsom Posted August 4, 2014 Share #93 Posted August 4, 2014 I'm happy to see someone else paint the pig pens black; to me, it just made sense... I beleive the piece on the left is the skylight panel, however; my billings kit didn't address the pigpen or paint locker details; (unless the pieces weren't present when I bought the 40 year old kit)..

clearway Posted August 4, 2014 Share #94 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) There are the chicken coops from just forward of the poop deck with the kit but they have legs on them . There is no anchor windlass or pigpens or other detail from below the anchor deck with the billings kit and bob is right that is the skylight for the poop deckhouse Keith Edited August 4, 2014 by clearway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfolsom Posted August 7, 2014 Share #103 Posted August 7, 2014 I found a plastic plaque in high school that I gave to my English teacher; who kept a very untidy desk. (brilliant teacher, however) It read: "A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind". He displayed it proudly on the front of his desk for the entire school year...
