Carl has been a frequent visitor to this site, with an interest for the

Lindberg and Pyro Nantucket model kit. After numerous emails about the kit

and it's construction, he has

finally finished his project and has sent us some photos....

Webmaster:

Here is my version of Nantucket L/S from the Pyro kit. It is almost out-of-the-box with just a few additions to make it seaworthy. I bought the kit on Ebay ... some parts were missing ... numbers used to designate the parts were almost non-existent ... the instructiions were very poor when compared to today's plastic models. I had to do a lot of improvising and creative engineering.

By the way, you have a very nice Website.

Regards, Captain Carl Swickey U.S. Coast Guard (Ret.)
