I'm working on them Jim......but they are a tough bunch to convert!

Most of them think in terms of Santa's and cowboys......but if they only realized that Santa was a sailor and most cowboys have sailor blood in them, it might be easier!

Santa was a navagator and a sailmaker long before he took up toy delivery! And cowboys learned their rope work at sea and how to find their way in to and out of saloons from their sailorman days! LOL

Regards,

Bob

great work bob,

I didnt know all that was involved till i tried to sketch with fire on a box, its tough....

im a detailer / woodburner for my dolls santas, cars and cowboys, but i still dont have a hanker to try a ship... too many strings for me to fight the cat out of. she dont respect nothing!!!

Thomp....cats and ships do not get along well together!

I've had plenty of experience, unfortunately, with the deadly mixture. If you ever want to wake up one morning and break into tears, leave a newly completed ship model, of about 600 hours worth, out where a cat can get into it!!! Hurricane Katrina all over again, completely dismasted, not a spar survived being chewed to pieces, rigging and blocks scattered over five rooms, and the hull on her side with bumps and scratches all over!!!!

Don't ya just love cats!!!

mine is halfway between a kid and a senior

she will take your warm chair if you stand to stretch or she will whack at you from hidden places when you pass by guess shes a bushwhacking kitty 8 year old dumpster kitten

but i keep a gardening sprayer -spritzer container loaded with bad kitty repellent, h2o usually a shake of the container calling her name makes her stop and head for the hills,

but strings are her downfall, she will loose all her cool snd even stop eating if a string moves...
and if you roll a twig under foot its instant 4 foot of elevation for her then she becomes Velcro kitty...

Yep just what i want to see splayed out in the rigging of the uss constition or the pinta
