Cold and Snowy Here!

We have another storm coming in here right now.  Our snow total for the past week is around 12" (here locally) and the last two nights have been in the minus teens (-19 deg and -14 deg respectively).  Don't know if any of you cross-country ski but I am looking forward to getting out on the trails...
 
Next week I will be picking up some 1/2 inch ply for decking material on the Curlew.  I have decided to go with a traditional painted canvas deck as the original plans call for.  I want to get this boat DONE so I can actually use it this next summer lol...
Hope everyone's holidays are going well...  Take care.

Model of a Skipjack

here is a picture of the scale model I am building of a Chesepeake Bay Skipjack.  She is the Willie L. Bennett.  I started it about 10 years ago and then set it aside as life kindof caught up with me...
 
I have now finished the deckbeams and am going to start painting the interior before I put on the deck and fit out the cabin with miniature stove, bunks, etc.
 
Hope everyone is well, happy holidays....
