Al,
Sorry--I'm afraid I don't have a higher resolution copy of the picture in question....

I thought maybe he was the guy that flipped the boats over. :-)

That guy would later go on to play "LURCH" in the hit series The Addams Family.

Ahoy there mates.
It's nice to know that the 20 mm splinter shield was often removed. That makes it a lot easier to build a 20 mm for my Lindberg 1/32 scale PT boats. I don't have to go to the trouble of scratch-building or thinning down those shields. It's nice to learn something new.
I'm trying to get back to working on my models but I have been finding that very hard to do since February 14 when my sister passed away.
I'll eventually get back to those boats because i want to show you guys the crew in action that I have planned for one of them.
Cheers from Peter

Although I am sure your heart is heavy from the loss of your Sister, model building might just be the ticket to take your mind off your sorrow. I find when something is bothering me, I start working on a PT BOAT PROJECT of some kind, and before you know it, several hours has passed. It's so good to hear from you again. Good luck on your upcoming projects. I know we will all be excited to see your progress...............
