This one needs to be finished up iut wont take long on this one i will have her done in a couple good days then I will start on thwe Wilhelmshaven U.S.S. SAN FRANSISCO. This is my first wilhelmshaven kit although I have built hundreds od card models. I boarded the Queen Mary in longbeach durring my stay in the Navy I bought this one and the S.S. UNITED STATES aong with my now finished U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS . I just got done dusting her off i forgot i had this little fellas but i wanted to finish her up. the kit is one of Wilhelmshavens cheaper ande beginner kits a novis should attemp one of these along with their Troyburg before building one of their difficult kits.

Hello Boats,

this is a very old but nice freighter of the 50ies; I started in 2007 a modified version. But I gave it up - it was lost energy and time... fracments are seen below ...

With lovely greetings

No rest for boats I wouldn,t have it in other way so far on the merchantman solingen I been doing some tuning first i spent 3 hours cleaning this thing off the first division hasn,t been turning two so i will revoke their liberty card until this gets squared away. She is cleaned now On the yards i made up a bunch of pullys from punched out cardstock. along withe pullys i made up the saddles and installed them to the kigpost and the yards tomorrow i will do the same aft. after they have been installed i went back and done some coloring. The kit is built straight from the booklet the only modification that i will be doing on this kit is the detail work not called for on the instructions and the kit as well. Here are a couple update pictures for the night.

Old boats pulled the Bozo of the year award last night before I hit the rack I set my Solingen under my book shelve so I can do some work bench clean up. I got up arounf 0:500 this morning and put on a pot of joe. I heard this loud crash down below in the boson locker. my book shelve gav away and it smashed my solingen beyond repair.

Sorry buddy, I know with your quick building you can keep at it, but sorry that some work lost, I had lost some of my old Fiddlersgreen models due to shelf problem, so can relate..
