I'm waiting on purchasing a new printer before I can create an iron-transfer to material for my Canadian flag. I went out and picked up a nameplate at my local trophy shop. I feel good that this 'old' kit has taught me some valuable skills and she has turned out as well as she did. I also would like to thank all of those members who have given me advice, tips and motivation which helped me get to this end. Here's to another kit. I'm taking a break on wood and will try my hands at Lindberg's 1:95 scale Nantucket lightship before I start work on Model Shipways HMS Bounty Launch.   | ||

This inexpensive kit certainly taught me quite a bit about shaping and fabricating parts. It also gave me a great first lesson in rigging! I'm looking forward to building mynext wooden kit. Cheers! AEW - I want to thank you for following my progress on my Bluenose schooner. I have a lot of respect for those working with wooden models. Patience works wonders. Cheers!!! | ||

I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my 1st wooden kit. Man, one learns a lot building something like this. I'm now tackling Lindberg's Nantucket lightship. I'm installing Evan Design LED's in her. My 1st attempt at wiring!!! I will try to start a post on her. | ||

Pico size LED for the port/starboard running lights; 1.5mm white lights for illuminating the cabins and below deck; 3mm slow-flashing white LED's for the two beacon towers. Thanks for your feedback and for taking a look at my light ship. Good Holidays !!! | ||
