Thank you Jo

I'm up to wiring the lights. Then I can paint and put all the bits in place.

Looking good!

The details on the Orca are so critical. It had such an ornate appearance.

 

[DCN]

Everything's painted, the spot light is wired, working, but not mounted yet. The Nav lights are next.

Looks real good

The flying bridge is done, it has to be weathered and I can add all the bits. I found the M1 ammo crate with all its markings. The lights are all hooked up and working. The electrical wires leading from the hull to the bridge have to be shortened, I'll do that just before I permanently glue the bridge to the roof and finish the forward cabin. I may have to remove the tube that hides the wires in order to build the forward cabin. So, next on the list are the cabins. I've been fiddling with the wall so I can mount the door. The cabins will be fun to build, but it's good to be long and tedious work. I know I'll have to build it and be able to remove parts of it so I can add balast weight to the bow. I'm figuring 6 to 8 pounds to get her to the correct water line.

Sorry I haven't been on building. We had a medical setback in the family. Haven't really been building per say, but trying to figure out how tall the storage bins are compared to the windows and barrels.
A big thank you to Bloop for designing his Mayor Vaughn head, what a great addition to your Jaws Chief Brody head! Can't wait to see what Ellen Brody will look like!

Looking very good DCN Hopefully that medical issue was resolved?

No, It's not. And as Forest Gump would say, "That all I'm going to say about that".

You're in my thoughts and my prayers

Thank you Jo! It's to that point and time, the wife's going to live life to the fullest with what time she has left.

That's all you can do both...cherish every second

Please give me time, it's been a hard few weeks.

The ladder is a wonder of sharpness DCN I hope that, on a personal level, you're hanging in there

 

[flimzy]

It’s really coming on

Getting the rungs on a model boat ladder of any kind takes experience & skill. Great job.
