Don's Battle Station

[DonRobinson]

Dave, that piece of maple is from one of the billets, it fit perfectly. I also did the double one with some blood wood (hate this stuff) it looked good as well but I decided on the maple one. If you want I can post a picture of it.

Greg: Thanks so much Greg

Uwe: Thanks Uwe, it took some time but it finally has begun. I totally enjoy your work on "Today in History", I am running late this morning and am now behind two days on your article now. Tomorrow morning will be a great morning with fresh coffee and some great reading thanks to you!!

Don: Hoping to see you back at this build soon!

Hello Don,do you have any updates on your battle station?

 

[DonRobinson]

Here it sits a little dusty and lonely. Galley is getting all the attention lately. I"m still ahead of Mike so I am not too worried about it yet. The day he picks up his pace I will jump in and get it done before him!!

We can clearly see from the picture that I am further along than my good friend Don. Perhaps if he moved the giant TV from in front of his bench and stopped watching so much Netflix he might get more model building done!!

 

[DonRobinson]

Clearly I stand corrected and will have to "jump in" real soon!!!!

Was a real pleasure to build that station last year
When you start to build it again it will be a joy to follow your build

Hello Don, Wishing you a Very Happy belated birthday. Sure hope that you received all the new toys that you have hoped for and maybe a few more at that. Just dropping in to see if you by chance had a new update but alas it looks like I am just a bit to early, ENJOY.
Regards Lawrence

 

[DonRobinson]

Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes.
Lawrence, I'll be starting this one again very soon. I just completed the Ragusian Galley so I will now attempt to complete the battle station

 

[mrshanks]

Hey Don, any updates? Of course, I haven't dont any more work on mine either. LOL.

 

[DonRobinson]

No updates yet. I am just doing the finishing touches on another build today, so I'll be bringing the battle station to the bench on Monday

 

[DocBlake]

Anxiously waiting, Don! This was a lot of fun! I’m sure you’ll really enjoy finishing it. Makes a great presentation. BTW your cannons were awesome!
