That's a great model. I completely agree; they filled or contined a need for work boats at a nice large scale. I only have the lightship in my stash, but I look forward to building it some day.

Did you replace the mast? It looks really good.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Except for the molded styrene "sails", it's a really nice looking model...

Nice looking build !Big SmileYes

Modelers are indeed fortunate that Lindberg chose to re-issue many old kits.

I hope the new owners continue the practice.

Part of me agrees, but we all have to step back and realize that NO ONE in the plastic ship model business ever though that it would become the hyper-scale, hyper-detail market it has become.  I have that kit as well, never built it, but glad we have it in the stash.

I was thinking just the other day on how far our hobby has come, just the market for "garage kits" not to mention the after market add-ons.  I think many of us have become spoiled - myself included in that number.

Looks nice!  I build a Lindberg kit now and then.  Have the shrimp boat in my stash and it will be the next Lindberg kit in the queue to my bench.

I like both Glencoe and Lindberg because of the subjects they do- stuff no one else would touch.  Yeah, you have to work hard to clean up flaws and enhance the detail, but still easier than a scratch project.

Like the old Henny Youngman joke; ' Take Lindberg.....Please! '

In this case I would take a Lindberg, great job!

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
