I think that was one of the reasons why that 'trailer' never worked. It blocked the exhausts which caused the engines to run hot or something like that.

Frank, did Stan use the LINDBERG cabin cruiser as the basis for that Admiral's barge .......... I see its 'lines' in that model. Just wondering.

Nope, just from the original pictures and I think he had one small blue-print of her from the Navy War College..............

Frank R.

I spoke with San this morning and the next time I stop over, he will give me his photo book of model projects he has done. I will take them home, and scan them in for the Message Board. Not sure when this will happen, but I will do it.

That is sweet, thank you for showing us. I love boats with unpainted wood, always wanted to build the Dumas Dauntless kit but never found the time... I wouldn't have the skill to build something like this from scratch though.

Hey Frank -

When you do that, ... email me prior to your going ... and I'll ask my brother if he'll take me over there ... OK?

Also - see if he has the shot of the 190 prior to his rebuilding it. OK? It was a mess - the 40mm was all twisted ............

I will do that when I head over. Stan is busy doing a new Kitchen, so when things die down, I will stop over..........

He told me about the kitchen, ... I've been talking with him about re-doing the Vosper MTB he did for me back in '97 ...

Some of you guys on this message board are getting a bit lazy. I would love to see what you are working on. Please post some pictures of your present work or maybe something you did way back when. As I said, I will be posting some of Stan Pienkowski's work here soon, but while we are waiting, LET'S SEE YOUR WORK.............
