I am not in a hurry to get either one done. I have been working on SR for about ten years now. I get tired of working on it frequently. Rather than push myself, and maybe screw something up, I put it aside for a few weeks and work on something else. BTW, the SR is not wood, it is the Heller plastic kit.

A gent in our club built this one. It came out beautifully; a really interesting and, in its own way, attractive model. My friend did comment that some of the parts were really tiny - but he got them all on.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
Now this should be a very cool project!

In between rigging sessions on the SR, I will be working on this model. It is the Model Shipways kit of the Civil War Picket Boat 1, the steam launch that sunk the Albemarle, using a spar torpedo. This is a very nice kit. The laser cutting is very fine, and the sheetwood is basswood, not plywood. In spite of the fine laser cutting, the fit was not good enough to rely on the flooring to hold the frames about the keel, and I had to use a batton for alignment, good practice anyway.
