Did they transport his wives also? I personally don't think I could live with two! I would either have to go to sea or Australia! :rolleyes:

One of my ancestors was transported to Australia for Bigamy, I reckon he would have been relieved. 

One of mine was also sent to Australia from Clonmel Ireland for being a political insurgent but escaped in 1791 from Botany Bay with William & Mary Bryant after stealing the governor's 6-oar cutter, sailing 3,250 miles to Timor.

So I do t know how I’m going to pull it off yet, but I’ve bought quite a few sets of these 1/700 blocks for the rigging. 

 

I lived in Timor for 6 months in 2001/02, some of it would not have changed since the 1800’s.

We had an acronym for almost everything

I am almost certain that somewhere in military usage there is an acronym for acronym!

TLAs, FLAs etc   (Three Letter Acronyms, Four Letter Acronyms ...)  :)    When we went to a particular deployment back in the early 90s, one of the first things handed over by the USN was a book of Acronyms (A4 paper, double sided and over 2 inches thick!)

 

cheers

The USN is pretty good at turning acronyms into words, too. CNTRA is Sinatra? But yeah, we do like those acronyms.

After 9-11-2001, the US saw the need to implement COOP (continuity of operations) and COG (continuity of government) plans across the entire united states. Every state and local government organization are required to have up to date and current COOP-COG plans in place and to have personnel who are trained and qualified to run (ICS) incident command system structure/systems. Part of the US government's overarching plans include an acronym "bible" which every local and state government must utilize to ensure we all speak the same language and can understand one another.

Canute shows just how much detail there is, so additionally I’ll do individual stanchions, (the Tamiya metal set will be fine as it’s got two railings, there is a ship’s bell on the forward funnel, and lots of little bits and pieces that be used to enhance it. A lot from spares but it needs a large amount of rigging blocks. 

 

I photocopied the drilling template so when I stuff it up or pour something on it I have an emergency.

So, using the template from the instructions, I’ve drilled the holes for the torpedo net booms. 

 

2 things, the scale in the instructions are out. Regardless you’ll have to use them as the torpedo nets will be the same scale. 

 

The port side side template is also different to the kits placement of the hull cannons and alignment. 

 

Finally, the rubbish carbide .3mm drill bits will not cut into plastic as apparently they are for cleaning printer nozzles. I need to find a decent source.
