It's a sarcastic applause from Captain Hull, cause it's taken me longer to build a 3ft model than it did to make the real one 🙃

Thanks Greg. I can almost see the finish line just over the next hill.

It is big. My workbench is only about 2 ft deep. The model is 3 ft. I've bent the flying jib boom turning it around more than once.

Your one dark puppy...lol

Like Errol Flynn swinging onto the deck from a rope with a Saber clinched in his teeth.

Time to start making and hanging the rope hanks to the belaying pins.

I don't know much about the air racing history. All I know is Buster was built by Steve Wittman and won a lot.

The gig boat done and hung on the stern davits.

Totally unrelated to your builds, which look great Bob 👍 I have a friend who gave me several of his kits. One is a vintage RC 1/4 scale "Buster" midget racer. It raced from 1931 to 1954. The real one hangs at the the Smithsonian. I've been threatening to build it.

Excellent footage!

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Greg. I know. All that line might help break my fall when I fell though...haha.

Thanks Rhino

Thanks Bob.

The spanker boom and gaff added. That finishes up all of the mast rigging.

It was a fun day. Penny wasn't sure about it, untill she met y'all. On the way home she told me y'all were a great group of guys and not weird at all...😅 That restaurant was a great find! My one regret is not getting the 1/16 scale 3 in 1 Takom FT 17 Renualt kit a vendor said make an offer on...

No. I figure about another 6 months work on it.

All of the yard braces are finished. Time to add the spanker boom & gaff.

Love it!

The foggy morning added a lot to the atmosphere. There's some great pics of her moored!
