Crackers, Is that your build of the Wanderer, it is beautiful, but all your builds are beautiful. Do you mean it actually came thru? nino said it was a problem with FSM & not me. I am a computer idiot, at 87. Took me a long time to get this dumb.

Flint, Thanks, boy this does get tiresome because I sent them to other sites before I listed & they went thru fine. I will post a couple more. 

 

 I took these off & posted more above & below. Changed to Postimage.

 

 

Now I hope they worked. Nobody will look at my sites if I can't get pictures. They go everywhere else but here. Nino tpld me what was wrong, but I am not great on computers. He says it is not me. Darn, this is a neat little ship kit.

I just get a blank box. When I click on it, it sends me to a Google sign in page.

Fox, Thanks for the answer. I sent them to my wifes computer & a PM to nino & they both got them. I didn't get your pic either, but I did get a bunch of pretty girls & if you are building them, I'd say you were a great builder. They are going to FSM Private Messages. Maybe you have to be a member to get pictures, I know a lot of sites do that. 

  But I see you are both members.

Don't get anything but a black screen. But maybe that's my problem. 

I clicked on one of the blank pic boxes and got a google sign-in page.   They may be google image files which are not marked as public.   I'd say the problem is on the OP's end

Wanderer Whaler build
Posted by gene1 on Sunday, August 26, 2018 10:44 AM

  I had a lot of fun doing the whaleboats for this Wanderer Whaler ship. Now I have the whaleship well under way & am putting the masts up & wondering what to do with the combo spar & sail.I will figure that out when I get the masts up & rig the shrouds on my Airfix rigging tool. They give you precast shrouds, but they are way too thick. The kit itself is really a nice one to build. 

    Nino (Jim) has been babysitting me & trying to get the pictures done right. He is a computer genius. I think now they will come thru OK, but if they don't please let me know. I will only send a few until I know they come thru OK.

I put the whaleboats on for the pictures. the shrouds have to be on before I  tie the whalboats on. My son made me another 3 oak bases & I stain & lacquer them. I will get the name of where I get the pedestals.I used Tamiya copper on the hull with an emerald green & spirits wash & then a light wipe down & a spray of M&M Dullcoat. I used all Tamiya acrylic paint. 

 

  

I hope this worked as Nino spent half a day teaching me about my computer. He is a super patient teacher. Now I know a little more than my wife. Someone please let me know. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I went ahead & put a bunch on. This is a fun build & I did figure out how to make the whaleboats look more right for this boat. I ran a seperate post on doing that. I will have more pictures later as I go along.
