About a year and a half ago I ordered a handmade model of Mrs.E's GB. It
has taken a little longer to be built due to circumstances beyond control
of the model builder. I got an email notice today that it is just about
complete and he sent a couple of pictures. It was worth waiting for, I
think.

He told me that the base in the picture is temporary. The one being
shipped with the model was in the drying oven when he snapped the
pictures.

I forget how long it is exactly, but it's something like 2.5-3 feet or
thereabouts.


Just in time for Christmas for Mrs.E.

Day-em, your wife's little model boat is worth more than my real boat!

Seriously though, I can remember looking at the Captain's model site years
ago, I think relating to his Norhavn 46 model. Nice work! Did you get a
static model or RC? If it's RC can I take it for a test spin? Huh, can I?

They look great! What does he use for the windows?

I don't know ... haven't actually seen it yet. He called to discuss
shipping details. It will arrive next week sometime.

Now, why is that?

I am looking forward to seeing it up close and personal. Captain's Models
has quite a good reputation as I have discovered when occasionally coming
across references to his work in various model building and RC forums.

Some of the pictures of his work taken in the water look like a real boat
when there isn't any obvious scale reference.

LOL. I do miss not having my boat in the water. I would often go to
the lake after I had winterized the boat, just to enjoy the solitude. I
could putz on some project or sit back and read a book and relax. My
wife or kids never come to the lake during the off season, so it is my
time to myself.
