The only thing I seem to plant is my big butt in a chair.

Guess What? 

I think what you did was not only excellent work, but an extraordinary way of making the most of salvageable parts .Congrats for using the unique parts to creat a unique model.

Jake,

  Good to hear from you.  Yes, The photo you sent me awhile back of your Bow section blew me away.  1st, a great idea.  2nd  A most excellent restoration execution.

Easily worthy of 1st place IMHO.

 

  Thanks for the Facebook link.  Stick a Picture on FSM too if you get a chance.

   Thanks for all the good advice too...

                   Jim.

         

   P.S.  Tightest Lines I have ever seen.

Good job Jake. I really like it and it's not going to be as hard to store.

I'm still working on the post-Katrina Imai Victory you sold me.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214205202950618&set=a.10203046316625434&type=3&theaterYesterday was the first time I've entered a model contest in over 20 years. My Bow Section of the Cutty Sark won First Place in the catagory 903 and a special award for creativity. This model was heavily damaged by Katrina. I dismasted the kit, cut off the broken hull, cleaned, stripped, repainted and re-rigged the foremast and jib boom. Now I need to build a case.
