Ready to Take to the Streets!

On Monday, after finishing Bob very early in the morning (I finished up the last touch-ups with the paint late Sunday night, so I got up at 4am to varnish), I dropped him off at the Heart of Catskill Office.

Here he is with some cousins:
Here are some details of Bob, once he was finished...

The fabulous wheels custom made by Corey:

The steam stack, and a portrait of Robert R. Livingston:

The back half of the boat, and a historic lithograph of the North River Steam-Boat (from the collection of Clermont State Historic Site):

View of his front with the "Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission" ribbon (one of the originals, from the 1909 celebration, is in the collection of Clermont State Historic Site):

Ready to head out to the streets of Catskill!

I can't wait to see all of the beautiful cats lining the streets of Catskill. In the mean time though, our living room is so empty without Bob!
