just finished my first sailboat...2 years...

Post by zingpow »

it started out alot longer but i can't get the front just right so i'm leaving it like that, it will pull to the left alittle but if the captain is any good he'll be able to adjust for the drift with the keel...do you guys think i should paint it or just varnish it to bring out the wood grain...going to have my family crest added to the sail...zingangelo...

this is part of my rehab, it's this or another 8 years in the home for the criminally insane...geez, i wish everyone had your sense of humor, the district attorney and the judge certainly didn't, i thought my explanation of how i came to be in the possession of a dozen or so severed heads was quite humorous and informative in a "how to" sort of way...

anyway i'm moving on with my life and am glad to be aboard...you wouldn't have a spare chain saw you could part with for the winter do you...zp...

That is AWESOME work, I'd love to see what sort of Diorama you could make with it.

What scale is this anyway?

what scale is it?...small, is it not apparent in the photo there?...geeze uk, i would think anyone with a modicum of understanding of this art form would be able to pick up on that...maybe i can recommend some books...but thanks for your kind remarks anyway...it is a time consuming passion but the end results are reward enough as you can clearly see in the original photo...i'm a tactical advisor with the us navy as we speak, that's all i can say at this time due to the sensitive nature of aircraft carrier design...i'm sure you understand...say no more say no more...zing python...
