Missileman2000! Well, hello there!

        Yeah I have done this many times. Problem is there isn't as much variety in Plastic expecially in the smaller sport boats and what's available in plastic is crap! Now if you like Freight ships and Passenger vessels like me, paper is the way to go and Yes, you can fudge with P.E. for that knockout look!

       Revell has the Colombia Express in 1/700 but I have a few container ships in 1/250 thanks to paper! Plus, the 1/200 Andrea Doria and The Stockholm! the Ship Bremen(A Cruise ship now) has endured through many of it's succeeding generations in both plastic, pewter, and resin. Now the most modern version is 1/200 in paper

I was amazed at all the airplanes I found at FG, a number of them I have in my sprue.

What is FG?

They have seemingly endless lists of subjects. The term also seems to describe a place of happiness and mirth. There's a pub out my way with that name, also some little rental cottages in my town of Carmel, CA.

Ahah!

Thanks, Bill. Good to hear from you.

The term also seems to describe a place of happiness and mirth.

Sort of the mythical 'sailors' heaven': music and mirth, no lines to heave or decks to stone...and (I have to suspect) a convenient grog-shop near to hand, peopled by...shall we say...congenial staff. The polar opposite of "Davey Jones' locker."

For you folkie music fans, here's a neat version of English songwriter John Connolly's song of the same title:
