Hey Cap'n, just bumping this thread to remind you and others how effing awesome this build is! Please continue it

I think the good captain has sailed off of the edge of the world. He hasn't posted an update or comment here in over 1 1/2 months. Could also be that Davy Jones finally got him.

-edit-

I just saw that he posted yesterday in Callen's log. Maybe not all hope is lost...

That's why I bumped his lil' thread. I kinda hoped he would notice and dock for a couple of minutes to give us an update of what's been happening out at sea

Ahoy Captain,

Us scurvy scallywags require updates.

<3,
Your loyal crew

ps. hope you havent walked the plank or come down with a serious case of sea sickness.

I think the sharks got him!

**manu_D** · 07-19-2010, 10:06 AM

It is disturbing ... The Captain is maybe suspended at the very top of the mast and he cannot comes down any more, because he feel dizzy !

**Spazloy** · 07-19-2010, 10:08 AM

I think the good Captain has gone to Singapore, either that or Tortuga

**Vinas** · 07-20-2010, 06:01 AM

I've lost the faith on this log, and on reflexxxion... but I've followed them since the beginning of each. I think these builds would be finished if each builder had enough time to devote... but sadly the dreams of both of these builds have proven to be a little too ambitious it seems. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not.

**o2bme** · 07-20-2010, 11:46 AM

Lost faith?!!

I gained inspiration!!!! Seriously 25 pages of creativity. This log & Shazza's are the reason I have a case behind me all cut up and wondering what happened.

Be it because of burnout, financial restraints, wife/kids seeking attention...whatever - Thanks captain. Regardless if you are done w/ project or not it is one of the more fun logs and I appreciate your sharing.

**josk1** · 07-20-2010, 12:10 PM

well said o2bme !!!
+1

**shazza** · 07-20-2010, 12:42 PM

Agree - well said o2bme (and thank you for the kind words).

I can't speak for the Captain, but I'm pretty sure it's a matter of work and real life taking priority for a period. It's not unusual for an ambitious build to take quite a long time - especially if it's not your main day-to-day rig, and if you're trying to learn new skills and also set high standards for yourself. Also, when modding is truly a hobby - and not how you make a living - it often must take a backseat to life's other demands.

**charles_h** · 07-20-2010, 01:20 PM

Sometimes people just need a break. Often, this allows one to "zoom out" and see the big picture. As is often the case in life, one can lose objectivity when too close to something or working relentlessly to achieve a goal. Sometimes a break and a little time away not only refreshes one's perspective but also leads to breakthroughs that perhaps may never be realized had the person worked continuously.

IMHO, there need not be external pressure applied here. Creation is a process - a journey if you will and the best we can do as members of the Community is to be supportive of one another with the hope of bringing out the best in each other.

Or we can just gather outside his house- banging pots and pans till he finally comes out and agrees to get back to work on his build!

**RCG_Bex** · 07-20-2010, 11:57 PM

Y'argh well we best keep scrubbing his boat and keepign it in ship shape for his return or he'll walk us all off the plank! Capt'n don't like a slacker or mouthy sea dawg!

He be hunting trease on thee island so he have a bigger treasure in the end!

I can't even put myself in the same league with most of you, but you all inspire many people to do better. Thanks for that and I hope this build lives on.

**Johnny87au** · 07-22-2010, 09:40 PM

come on captain hope u havent forgotten about us!

**yup** · 08-13-2010, 08:08 PM

it seems that our captain has left the ship, is any chance to get him back?

**UrbanSmooth** · 08-15-2010, 08:28 PM

Captain?

Not likely soon. It's an inspiring project, but unfortunately it is incomplete... Like so many projects around here... It's upsetting to me because I follow a lot of these builds and become sad when they fizzle out.

but if this project comes back to life I'd be right here supporting it again

**HanTard** · 08-25-2010, 10:54 PM

I heard a rumour that there might be an update in the works. Fingers crossed!

**theToX** · 08-26-2010, 05:57 AM

i sure as hell hope so. Captain has been away at sea way to long.
