Lobster Boat

It is obvious your skills were totally transferable! Your picture of the build is absolutely beautiful--lots of ocean memories when seeing a lobster boat--real or the beautiful model results you shared. I have the Chesapeake in my queue; have looked at it several times and shake my head. I just started OcCre's Bounty; so far am feeling confident with my skill level, but know my limits. In the past when I have reached my limit, I put on hold, to come back to after getting to that step, feeling ready. Keeping a military model on one of my other benches; this time a military ship! Miss the boat building. Will never do another plastic submarine--LOL! The third and last is looking for the antennas and periscope to be mounted and painted; then off she goes for someone else to fight with the water level decals. . . (A pro modeler friend helps with the finicky decals for me that I know I won't do well--too tiny for the RA. Not afraid of the logo decals and numbers on planes/ships, but these tiny waterline strips give me nightmares.

Be blessed,
JJ
