NORSKE LOVE - Billing Boats 1:75 scale

Man oh man! First, it is great to see you back at the shipyard. Second, that stern looks superb - I really like the red-framed windows; not only does it add great depth to the stern, but it almost lends a certain Asian element to it! I like!

Thank you Heinrich! The museum ship had red windows and gold stern galleries. So I followed that. With gold there would be no contrast, and with black they would be hard to see with the dark background. So red seemed like the right choice. ;)
 
Thank you to everyone for the Birthday wishes! I turned 64 today. I hate getting old, but it beats the alternative! It seems like yesterday I was 24, and I don’t know where the time went.

I got a new 12 string guitar and some money for my Birthday. My family and a few friends gave me a nice party yesterday and we had a lot of food, and the kids swam in the pool. So it was a very nice Birthday.

Good afternoon Dean. Cool acquisition, awesome party with family and friends. Sounds like you have a fabulous 64th. Happy belated birthday. Cheers Grant
 
Well life and other interests have kept me away from the ship. So I decided to do something on the list at the stern. There is a crown up top center. So I modeled one and created a file to print. And I printed it…

This is why I didn’t try to carve it, about the size of a pea!

Then I painted and dry brushed it.

And on the ship. That was way more time and effort than you can imagine just to add one tiny element. But then again, since ya’ll build ships too, you can relate! ROTF
