Great case, did you build it yourself?

Too bad that you haven't got anything planned yet (and worse of course is the reason why, hope it gets better somehow). Maybe something small for the future? :heh:

You've got some great collection there. Must have taken a while to get all those finished! :thumbs_up_1:

Russ,

Fantastic build. She is one fine looking ship.

I have enjoyed watching your builds and would very much hope that you can continue.

here are some small details added ,before I finish of the front mast and loading booms,i added some deck freight,cardena delivered to many logging camps and some hauled logs by rail ,so I added some wheel and axle sets.

well the aft mast is done ,it was quite a chore all the guy wires and boom rigging had to be perfect or the mast would not be plumb or at the right angle, back lean,i guy needs one more hand to make it easier lol

That's a similiar technique to the one I used on the VIC 32 mast rigging, only difference I used an aluminium tube instead.
