Many, many thanks for your comment and for taking a look !!! Ship-1

Roberto - Congratulations on deciphering your instructions on your build! HaPpY BiRtHDaY !!!

Story - Wow! I just watched this episode three nights ago. Reincarnation and inter-dimensional beliefs are fascinating to say the least. I grew up with science fiction and X-Files and the original Outer Limits were some of my top shows.

Pawley - Fantastic information that you have provided. I'm sure you will have a fantastic time at the Museum! I will look into Tom Boozer and his work. Thanks for the tip. I did some research on the Jenny from the movie and read a couple of articles on Miss Sherri. The film crew did some changes...

Pawley - Sorry I'm so late in thanking you for your comment. I tried to make her look like the movie's boat. For such an inexpensive kit, I had so much fun putting her together. Smooth sailing to you , good Sir Ship-1

I added a base for better stability. It's a wrap!

Here's a few more pics of Jenny:

Thanks! I prefer the Olive Drab and lt. Grey paint jobs also but in doing research on this particular plane, it was built at Douglas-Long Beach and, by 1944, the AAF decided to keep them a natural aluminum. It had the Red tail with the L in triangle for the 381st BG. As for your model, Wow! I...

I extend my gratitude to everyone who have followed along on my Jenny. Your comments and suggestions were an inspiration for me and, since I joined SOS, it has helped me move forward with my modeling skills. Uwek, Kkonrath, Donnie, Jimsky, DocBlake, JArthurD, CiCiak35 and to many others, I say...

Jim - I was going to start work on the Sultana steamship but I have decided to build Revell's 1:72 B-17G instead. I'll try to shorten my 'why'. When I was young, I wanted to change my last name to Richards but kept my original last name of O'Shaunnessy. Years went by and in 2007 I underwent a...

The minute I came across this kit by Lindberg, I thought how perfect this could be made to look like the Jenny from the movie, forest Gump. After looking at a few movie stills and watching countless times the boat scenes from the movie, I finally completed this build. I started work in March of...

Great drawings and welcome aboard!!! Ship-1

Welcome to SOS !!! A couple of starter wooden kits come to mind. One is the Bluenose schooner. The other is the America yacht. Both kits will give you the experience in framing and planking a ship. They also introduce one to some basic rigging and sails. They are very nice looking models without...

Welcome aboard, Milt! Ship-1

Absolutely stunning! Your rigging work looks fantastic. Job well done.

I have finally reached the end on my 'Jenny' build using Lindberg's 1:60 scale shrimp boat. Finished with all of my rigging. The netting is tulle that was dyed a dark green. I tied line around the netting and sowed the red 3mm beads (floats) to the seam (tickle chain) in the tulle. The netting...

I found them on Amazon under Japanese Mini Saws search. Have you checked Harbor Freight? Hope you find what you're looking for and " HaPpY BiRtHDaY " !!! Ship-1

While waiting for parts to arrive for my Jenny, I thought I'd do a quick build of this Koach. I loved the Addams Family and the Munsters shows. I did some wiring for plugs and alternator and added a radiator hose. What a fun project this was!

Fantastic work on this here's beauty!! She's a fine ship and by the looks of her, she's weathered quite a bit and has come thru the storms. Great build, Captain!

Jeff - Welcome to SOS! Like Jim said, feel free to ask a question or help. I'm sure you will find some tips and tricks to help you along. I have learned a lot from many of the members. Mistakes are there to help us move on!
