Thanks, glad to have you following along on my journey. I was awake half the night thinking about lighting and colors 😂👍

[@user-bp7je7zr6f]

Thanks for the reply I am enjoying this build, looks very complicated

[@BoilerDan1]

Not as much as the Pearl. Very little rigging lines. Nice detail though. Thanks for following along 😎👍

Excellent Dan. Looking forward to following along.

Glad to see someone else building this boat besides me. I am close to finishing mine. I've added lights which slowed me down some, but I am working on the Texas, then the wheelhouse and will only have finish work after that. Looking forward to your build.

Definitely a new challenge for me! I’ve been looking over the build plans and formulating in my head how I want to proceed. I’m leaning strongly towards a combination of dark mahogany stain for floors and handrails. I’ll keep the white paint for walls and the hull. I’m not going for a duplicate of the original boat. I like to put my own twist to it. I’ll search your handle in hopes you’ve posted something…. I can use the help 👍👍 I found your KZbin and will follow. Thanks 😁

I thought you where going to start on the Flying Dutchman or does that come later

[@BoilerDan1]

I was, but the opportunity to build the steamer came up, and I think I can finish it in a matter of weeks. The Dutchman will probably take a year to complete. It’ll be next 👍👍
