popeye the sailor Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share #121 Posted April 7, 2013 oh.......I can just imagine what the neighbors would say Andy..........it probably would go down like Bill Crosby's comedy skit "Noah" "Whatcha build'in?" "An Ark....." "ah....ha." "well, you wanna move it out of my driveway.......I gotta get to work. Whatcha build'in it for any way?" {there's more here......I'll be brief...there are three parts to this skit} "Well....let me ask you this........how long can you tread water.....ah......ha.....ha....ha....ha!" .......a full size ship in my backyard......an...ha.......{I'm saving that area for when I do yous ship.....ah.....ha....ha....ha....ha! } do you work on the Gothenborg Bummer?

popeye the sailor Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share #138 Posted June 1, 2013 .....getting an idea of what I was thinking when she was tabled........is a real pain, although, I did glue back on the balcony railing that got knocked off.

popeye the sailor Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share #139 Posted June 2, 2013 hopefully, your still around Andy, so you can see these. they are not much....but I have taken the masts out from time to time, to do a bit on them. so, to recap.....I did get the dead eyes. since I have all of these dead eyes now......I began to arrange them in the tops. I'm still having to redrill all the holes for spacing........I have no idea where they got their measurements from. I will need to take account of the double blocks........I did use a few for the AmericA build. I do have a bunch of those triple blocks though.......they might look better for the lower yards. if not, I can modify them. the anchors are almost ready......a bit more shaping, and then paint. the masts all in place.......just a dry fit... and, of course, as I mentioned, the broken railing has been replaced. I still need to do a bit more at the stern....moldings are sorely needed here. I am thinking.....that's a good sign. I'm going to remove that bit of bow rigging too.......it's badly done, and it looks different in the pictures. I won't get every line on her......but I will make her as busy as I can realworkingsailor, riverboat, Ferit and 3 others 6 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
