It's blown me away with the interest that Shy has generated, both in the thread and via PM's with people wanting more info or better detail.
Who'd have guessed that a neglected ugly old mozzie bought from eBay & with crazy cheap price tag would get nearly 20,000 views and have 'regulars' that get a little agitated if I leave the thread alone for more than a few days
I don't always get it right, there's been several learning curves from Shy, knowledge that has and will continue to go into Karp's rebuild, that knowledge base covers not only the ply hulls but many other areas from the rigging to the trailer itself.
I never started the threads to 'showcase' my work, it was all about a visual reference for others to comment on, so either I'm doing it right and no-one has a need to make a comment or I'm the laughing stock of the mozzie community .... either way I'm entertaining people..... & a lot of them
Shy isn't finished by a long shot and probably wont leave the shed for any great length of time until she's sold on....
stay tuned
