1/700 Confederate Raiders CSS Alabama, CSS Florida

After just 5 years, the 1/700 scale waterline hull of the 1921 Canadian schooner Bluenose is finally ready to go to mold with her optional SV Lucretia windlass/winch bits and hard over lower hull shim.

Quite a few techniques were learned during this time, but she is my first wood deck project. Angus Walters' command deserved the best! An older, smaller cup mold makes cabins and boats.
The boats for Lucretia are a pair of 24-foot RHI boats.

Do you think Bluenose needs stacked fishing Dorys for authenticity?

Womping up a pair of Dory short-stacks seemed logical for Grand Banks fishing authenticity. The room mold is filled and ready, but..........

On my way to train for summer bus runs, a sound came from behind the dash of the Chevy. Airflow from the A/C slowed to a whisper. I embarrassed and injured myself doing under-dash contortion to clean out the blower wheel. The hose for Dale the Compressor started to blow cool air on my foot. Just like that, the quick-connector separated from the hose. Once I get that fixed, mold making will proceed.
Thursday sucked. :bang head
 
I'll forward you my workday sucked message I sent Saul and James.

Glad it was a quick fix, just think, if it were a brand new truck you would have had to take it to the dealer and have the codes reset for $$$.
 
That squirrel cage reminds me of the PILE of dead leaves I found behind the fender on my Sienna back when I was replacing it from the deer damage. Have no real idea how they got in there, but they had been in there for a while.
