Many thanks guys , appreciate it !!! The tuna tower was a complete dog's breakfast to scratch , I broke and had to redo the dam thing four times , that's because Wally here dropped it on the floor ........ four times !!! I still have to slide some tubing onto the top tower front legs and a lot more of this and that . postimg.cc/bD8KQjfK] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/xCbnV0xT/IMG-1444-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/MMDg5rWX] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/sxdyVtqP/IMG-1445-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/GB3FYMSX] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/bvk37W0f/IMG-1446-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/fSkD10Tc] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/6qfq2dkm/IMG-1447-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/5jWrGzjb] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/PfCkCzjp/IMG-1448-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/BXHn3HBp] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/28Xb4xqs/IMG-1449-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/cKQz415V] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/JhgCxG34/IMG-1450-1.jpg) [/url]

Awesome! When are we going to fish? Looks like the real deal! I hope we won't encounter any bridges crossing the road as this boat certainly won't be able to go underneath!

Thanks guys !!! Erwin , most intercoastal waterways around here have have lift bridges or bridges from the mainland to the islands are very high . BroSki , bigger boats with towers usually stay in the water all year round . The towers can be broken down . If one needs to be taken out of the water for repairs/winter storage etc. marinas have lifts for this purpose . If you live on a lagoon [ French translation ...... lagoon , .... village idiot ] you just take yer boat to a marina for removal , or if dead in the water sea towed . postimages.org/] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/V6Bnw4yH/50-ton-Product-Model-Boat-Hoist-300x206.jpg) [/url] postimages.org/] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/8zJvcTQv/images-2024-07-10-T075001-456.jpg) [/url] L.B.I. causeway bridge . postimages.org/] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/6qq3PhBZ/best-crop-b9d37eb6ab662bd48e43-097lg.jpg) [/url] Point Pleasant N.J. canal bridge . postimages.org/] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/kMYDbLyv/istockphoto-1430148149-256x256.jpg) [/url] Sea Side Heights N.J. causeway bridge . postimages.org/] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/yYJxXnQ4/f3850e1961e9d81190119830ed335c35.jpg) [/url]

I meant bridges that cross the road (viaduct or overpass), but if the tower can be removed, that explains it all :-)

I still can't get over the detail. Simply awesome work, and there are so many individual scratch built items in this dio and everyone is a class build.

Thanks guys , I screwed up tho , everything you see is glued permanent . I need to make a bow rail and bow pulpit , which I wanted to do with just the hull to work with . Now I have to do it with all those breakable bits attached to the hull . Without the cockpit and towers it would have been a lot easier to measure , dry fit and drill out the holes for the railing stanchions , ................. wish me luck lol .

I wish that could happen , truth is , N.J. State Police oversee the intercoastal waterways out to three nautical miles , same driving /alcohol rules as in boating , get caught , loose your boating [ if you have a captains license ] and your on road drivers license all in one go . Buuuuuut , after three nautical miles you can do just about anything you want . No rules about having it on the boat , just no open containers etc.

I'm hoping to get to the States in 2026. Now I'm happy to pay for a charter so we can have a drink. It would be awesome to catch up with some of you for a fishing charter, but be warned, I am going to try and catch up with a lot of you, so I'm prepared to do a pub crawl across the States. I hope you girls are up for it!!!! ![JbB3Qe](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/834/JbB3Qe.gif) Oh yeah, bloody beautiful work as always Cheyenne!

Not gonna lie , the bow railings and bow pulpit , ........ well if I was still a drinking man I woulda used a whole bottle of modelers helper [ aka Jack Danial's ] making them outta styrene rod . Pretty much done , unless I think of something else to clutter her up with . I'm having cataract surgery in Oct. so if anything looks off and wonkey that's because it's off and wonkey .............. postimg.cc/0KfkWkrm] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/z3myf3rd/IMG-1479-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/jDCf79kv] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/GmxxZnP0/IMG-1480-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/ZvTBKDd8] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/6qZdck6m/IMG-1481-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/nCSjp2cm] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/fRDx7qG8/IMG-1483-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/68D8GQZ5] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/255hMb8v/IMG-1488-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/2qhVdfdd] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/wBbLpq7r/IMG-1489-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/8fPcVJ2w] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/tJFxWF20/IMG-1490-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/9rkMvfJt] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Z5bdvBNg/IMG-1492-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/t134ZNy2] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/6QS2PMPJ/IMG-1493-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/xJFDcXk6] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/mkTbpMTW/IMG-1494-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/nXt8jbzf] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/y8D7G7Cx/IMG-1495-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/vgTCFGPf] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Hx9mMxXZ/IMG-1496-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/xJZh9B77] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/cC1SBScs/IMG-1497-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/Z09XwKvh] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/J7Km4s1t/IMG-1498-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/3dT92Kg1] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/SNX5FRRB/IMG-1500-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/Yv43Hhkp] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/zG7PTgcR/IMG-1501-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/nMcqxCY6] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/xjL5KmkT/IMG-1502-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/Cz98bJTg] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/RZZT5bgN/IMG-1503-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/t7Y7DPzC] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/bYRby9Db/IMG-1505-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/CZhx8f10] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/XvFGTf6r/IMG-1506-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/Lqx636Y1] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/76kGD5qm/IMG-1507-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/gxdz963h] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/P5vPwWxS/IMG-1510-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/3WvYdZBp] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/gcMJtSLM/IMG-1511-1.jpg) [/url] postimg.cc/QFX3YZrk] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/13F3tyCT/IMG-1513-1.jpg) [/url]

I can grasp that you scratched together this sensational build, but while needing cataract surgery??!! You sir, are an exceptional modeler! The empty bottles and random weathered filth are a great touch!

Thanks guys appreciate it , left eye is bad , right eye is minimal . I can still see , somewhat , right eye works overtime to cover for the left . Sunlight and bright light is bad , also can't drive at night , all I see is the bright globes of oncoming headlights everything else is washed out . Modeling has been a challenge , if you know anything about cataracts , glasses can't correct cataract impaired vision . The cataracts need to be lazed off and a lens is put in that gives you better close up and distance vision . Only then can your vision be tested for the need or not the need for glasses . The Dr. said aside from the distortion from the cataracts my vision is excellent . Scary shizzle when your hobby is 100% vision and the thought of losing it is also the thought of not being able to continue modeling .

I hope the cataract surgery you'll be having in October will get you back on track with your eyes man. I hear you on thoughts of losing our vision and being able to continue on in modeling as that thought has crossed my mind a few times as well. Although, what you've done so far contradicts every bit of the vision problems that you are having. One would never know you had any vision problem at all. Just WOW brother.

Sorry about the eyeballs, Broski, hang tough, October is coming fast!
Hey, are you going to put in a tattered life ring? I didn't see one. Love all the gear and bottles too, excellent work!
