View larger imageWhen I was building Smuggler, I got to the point where I really needed a break. Smuggler was a 9-month long project and I was in danger of failing to finish it. I realy needed to get something completed, so I went to the local hobby shop and picked up this Midwest kit.

It didn't take long to build - maybe 3 or 4 weeks. It certainly wasn't difficult and I built it straight out of the box. As with the Lobster Smack, I wasn't ready to tackle sails on a model yet, but this boat still looks fine without them.

The paint job is pretty bad (and the photography isn't much better). Painting has never been one of my best skills but I keep learning and improving.
