OK I spent most of the day on it today. I have the same plan in the morning. but here it is right now as she sit s for the night SO GN .

Almost ready for the museum it looks like Rusty! I like the lines around the hull.....that looks good.

Hello Notar. Thanks I just took it down to the guy at the PT he loves it. This one is going to a personal friend from the PT boat. I think another week or so? So I may have it done. depending on weather. That could be come my problem for I do all major paint work out side. not in the shop. So I am hoping I will hit it lucky. Rusty thanks glad your liking it.

Well I got some more time on the ship today . If the weather will turn nice this weeken I may be able to get some paint work in ?? I spent mose of the day working on it . So I may hit the end of the road soon. STill have to build and paint the guns and some other little stuff and railing. All of that will come soon. Rusty

Outstanding detail Rusty. Great job. One of your best ones ever!

THANKS the guy I did it for just did not know what to say. He was speechless
HE has seen my work in the pass for I did a 1.32nd nice higgins for the group.
THE group love it and now he has one that I did for him.
HE just love it . BUT then he ask me if I could put a flag on it that he pick up. I said sure and it took a few mins to do it for him.
Thankyou Glad you like it . Next project ?? not sure yet have to think about it . BUT I will come up with something ????????? Rusty

WELL IT ONLY TOOK A FEW HOURS BEFOR I DECIDED ON NEW SHIP PROJECT.;-)
SOMETHING I LET GO OF MANY YEARS AGO .TAKING MY HAMILTON CUTTER AND CONVERTING IT TO THE MC CLAUSTY FFG 41 FRAGATE..
I BUILT ONE MANY YEARS AGO AND IT ENDED BEING SOLD THOUGHT A HOBBIE SHOP THAT I WAS dealing with . the day I was going to get it out of the shop it got sold the same day but that was why I took it there
. I have regeted that one for many years . So I decided to redo it with the cutter hull and sold the deck off of the cutter . So this time it only took a few hours and talking to my buddy to see if he wanted my deck . So like they say here we go again.;-))

HERE WE GO AGAIN! Building more boatsing.
