1940 Chris Craft Barrelback "Teddy Bear"

 My 1940 Chris Craft Barrelback TEDDY BEAR. The model was built from the Dumas kit and has working lights, and vinyl upholstery.   There is a full size 1941 Barrelback called TEDDY BEAR that I saw a few years ago at the Les Channeaux Wooden Boat Show in the U.P. of Michigan.  TB 1-4 were taken at the 2002 St. Louis Admirals Regatta at Union Station.  The other four photos were taken at a charity dinner by one of the Bay Area Electric Boaters corporate sponsors.  The charity dinner was in October 2001.  The model has about 15 coats of varnish on it, the last coat being wet sanded with 1000 and 2000 grit sandpaper, and polished with rubbing compound.
