Thank you so much, Tom. I really appreciated your words to Declan about model building. I see your work as masterful in many areas with a multitude of subjects. I really enjoyed seeing your earliest models as well when you made those posts awhile back. It’s wonderful to have moments in time affixed to an actual physical object… in a way like a Rosetta Stone describing one’s youth. I send a shout to you, sir!

Where did you get this model? It looks like it would be a fun challenge!
Great work so far maestro! How long is the model?

From eBay. Thank you so much! It’s approximately twelve inches long; and I think it’s going to be about 12-15” in height.

That thing would send me right under the table!

Haha I feel certain you would never deliberately inflict this kind of pain upon yourself! Pyro’s schooner kit, which I own, is really lovely. Back when I was a wee lad I purchased an ancient Aurora kit which I believe was Francis Drake’s ship. My first ship model. I painted the decks with square bottle Testors enamel. It was far and away the most fun kit! I hope painting this ole glue bomb will bring me some joy. Thanks so much for your comments, John.

Looking great Bruce! Sounds like you got a solid plan moving forward
