Okay Don :

sharkbait and the fellow had used panty hose material to do a net on a fishing boat. ( Probably did not make him popular with his wife). May be a good idea as they come in various colours and weaves. Just a thought.
An excellent thought (other than nabbing the wife's tights--which is never a good idea).
Shrimp netting to pretty fine (60/# shrimp are about 1/2" - 3/4" [12-18mm] long).
At 1/65, 1" is 0.0153" [0.39mm], which is going to be closer to hose than an other netting out there.
Catch nets are "stacked" having differing meshes to allow better waterflow/less clogging, so a person probably needs some tuile netting as well. (Turtle hatches and the like, probably not worth the effort, and would not be applicable to nets used before 1975.)
Gulf shrimpers mak good practice intercepts if a person is in that business. You just have to know how to not interfere with the commerce. (Being polite was also a way to come back from an FTX with acooler full of shrimp and/or crab )

I will work on the photo. I overexposed a little so the rust barely shows up. If I cannot bring up the weathering I will reshoot.

Don - Did you use the blocks (#43) that came with the kit on your build? The two pictures that you have of your completed Suzanne look like the blocks and/or pulleys are different than what comes in the kit. The kit's version are extremely tiny! I'm at the stage where I'm trying to figure out the rigging. I'll say one thing, Lindberg's instructions can be pretty vague at times! Your shrimp boat looks great and I have followed several of your builds since I started modeling. Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Hey GAF!
Grab them while you can. I don't know the status of the Lindberg line of Boats. Some may go the way of the DO-DO.
Wow! I've fallen in love with these 'ugly ducklings' by Lindberg. Are they merging with another company or just leaving the business? I have the 1:163 scale Robert E. Lee steamboat in my posession. Maybe I should pick up one of their pirate ships. Thanks for this notice.
