I am currently building the Maine lobster boat too. I was working on it and thinking how cool it would be to do all kinds of cool stuff to it. hard to believe....but as I was building it, I was actually putting in all the upgrades I was thinking about. when I realized what I was doing......I did the next best thing.......I built another one using the plans, tracing the hull parts from the wood panels. I had to purchase a few additional parts, but I came up with a very interesting pair The Phylly C and the Denny-Zen. they are the same, but they have subtle differences that set them apart. pictured here are the traps for the lobster boat.....I made a couple extra than what the kit supplied material for. now they need to be fitted out with the equipment they need to do their jobs........work and play........it's all good!

Looking good Popeye,
Did these models give you the option to go R/C?

Great weathering job on the pots. They rally look like they have been earning their keep. Beautiful pair of lobster boats I might add. Your ideas and detailing are always a joy to see.

thank you gentlemen........I really appreciate the good word! you'll have to excuse me......when I look at the post after I made it, a picture would be missing.......so I'd put it in again. how would you go about deleting posts like that? I don't mean to do duplicate posts

hopefully I can get back to these two and progress them further. thanks again!

I was going to do this when I got back to them, but folks on another site are starting to rattle their sabers, so I just threw something out there for the meantime. I hope you enjoy.
