SS Poopdeck

[olsbooks]

Thought I would share a few pix of my first boat kit.  From a Lindbergh kit.   Normally I do weathered big rigs and a buddy challenged me to give it a whirl as he dreams of having an old shrimp boat which he said would be named the SS Poopdeck.  So.....the challenge was accepted.  For those ship builder experts out there that fight with rigging, my respect for you has been (further) kicked up.

Peace

Quite realistic. Being from a fishing town I know a thing or two about old boats. NAILED.

Beautiful build. Have a few in the hole but probably going to wind up trading them.

Looks great!  Very realistic looking weathering.

Well done.  Is that Forest Gump on the rear deck?  Where's LT Dan?
