  1. thanks form sharing- must have been a bit humbling thinking about all those who tried to find a way through. Keith
  2. sorry wefalck was referring to the interesting mathematical conundrums- we must have posted at same time!
  3. i still have two open coal fires in the house and have the brush and screw together rods to sweep the chimneys + a woodburning stove in my shepherds hut! On the railway brake vans (railroad cabooses for across the pond) they had a casting to guide the pipe through the roof to keep it away from the wood and canvas. Keith
  4. looks good though Keith- you could have probably built a full size shed in the same time😉 Keith
  5. looking good John and like the locos- at the moment i am being distracted from my Erebus by 0 gauge wagon kits and 1/35 scale armour kits- since we last spoke my son and i took a run down to the diesel gala at the K.W.V.R. and managed to book a ride in a brake van on the demo goods train hauled by class 50 Rodney😊. Regards the figure you could paint the cap band yellow as on the Terror series. Keith
  6. looking great Keith it is a blessing and a curse that you will be able to see all the detail through the opening- i still chuckle a little bit at steam donkey pile- i keep adding "ing" after steam in my head- sorry schoolboy humour gets the better of me sometimes😁 Keith
  7. problem is as good as 3d printing is it might stop a lot of people actually 'modelling' if that makes sense and stop people developing their skills and solutions to problems- only my humble tuppence worth😁 Build is looking awesome keith Keith
  8. ahhh the memories of doing the same with my hms vicky ..... oh the joy!!! Keith
  9. Looking good keith- this one slipped under my radar 😁 i love these old workboats and definitely a unique subject. Keith
  10. i used walnut strip on my HMS terror, ongoing Endurance and HMS Erebus and find it lightens over time when it oxidises- if you look at m Erebus log you will see where i have used old and new stock and the colour has altered over the space of a couple of years. Keith
  11. coming along nicely- say hello to the 1:1 Terror and Erebus for me when you head North😁. Keith
  12. well i dont think i will be buying that one to upgrade wayyyyyyyyyyy tooooo bigggggggggg 😱 Keith
  13. i'm a regular on that route- also the section of line from whitehaven to barrow on the cumbrian coast is awesome scenery wise as you have the solway firth on one side and the cumbrian fells on the other.
  14. keep meaning to get to Whitby for the north yorkshire moors railway along with the captain cook stuff- the hearts on the bowsprit are held in place by a piece of rope seized around the heart then run through a noose in the other end of the line around the bowsprit if that makes sense- from the front looking back there should be one offset to starboard and one offset to port as opposed to the earlier method using open and closed hearts as on Victory etc. Keith
  15. the forestays lead to hearts rigged port and starboard on the bowsprit, the topmost stays lead to the bees and the topgallant jib stay leads through a block set towards the end of the jib boom and the topgallant stay leads through a groove in the end of the jib boom. Keith
  16. welcome to the Terror club and all the fun that comes with the Occre kit🤪😜. The north west passage cruise sounds awesome. Keith
  17. Thanks- i got my Terror and Erebus from always hobbies and Victory from my local model store which has now closed Keith
