Havta agree with everyone. Well done havagoodone Greg -
G'day Mark The lanterns looks a lot better than before! Maybe a black dry brush finish over the gold, might help with the 3D effect. If it doesn't work, you can redo it with gold again. ♺ Havagooday my friend Greg

G'day Dan What an intriguing and a brilliant way to create the hull. Havagooday Greg

Ditto from me also Mark. It's amazing! Havagooday my friend Greg

G'day Mark Havta agree with Pat, the redos are worth it, 100%. Maybe you might be the only person who can see the difference, but YOU are the one that counts after all. The planking looks great mate. Havagooday Greg

G'day Nils I'm in a real dilemma, I am holding my breath to see this finished ship, but I don't want it to be finished. I'm enjoying myself so much with every part and every log entry, I can't hardly believe how small she is. I'm flabbergasted with everything from the funnel's tires to the simulated rivets. A truly inspiration piece of craftsmanship. Havagooday Greg

G'day Dave Mindi was partially correct. The long boat was the only one white and the rest were brown. The reason why the long boat was brown because it was damaged by worms and the lead paint was used to stop the progress and also to stop the worms spreading to the other boats. I read it somewhere, and I think it was from Cook's journal. In the same article he wasn't pleased to have the long boat aboard the Endeavour. I also have to agree with Mindi, how good your model is. Well done! Havagooday Greg

Fantastic Toni A feast for my eyes. Havagooday Greg

G'day Nils The ship was incredible before the funnels, but it's out of this world now! What more can I say. Havagooday Greg

G'day Keith I know what you mean about weight gain. I was 114kg until I went on my diet. NO SUGAR AT ALL, but I replaced it with honey in my coffee. Half my meat intake, was also my secret. In 8 months I lost 37 kg and was down to a good weight of 77kg. That was 2 years ago and I'm still around 77 kg. I was in 4XL t's now small. I feel heaps better. Havagooday Greg

G'day Mark Just beautiful work on the yard. I would assume they are all at your high standard of work. Are you going to paint them black, in the centre or the whole yards? Again bloody brilliant work mate. Havagooday Greg

Denis you must be part eagle! I didn't see them holes until you mentioned it. That's a good question, but I assume there is going to be a gearbox or something similar coming very soon. havagooday to all Greg

You're correct Patrick, and all that I can hear is a loud NO, all over the globe along with viva Nils as a repeating chant! Havagooday to all Greg

G'day Nils I love all the photos and I can see me in that aft chair sitting down and trying to get out of work. Again all I can say is bloody marvelous and bloody fantastic! I'm sure, I will not be the only one who will be disappointed when this incredible venture ends! Havagooday Greg

G'day Keith You have been very quiet lately! Just wondering when we'll see more logs on your RW? Havagooday Greg
-
G'day Dave The bolts looks fantastic! Your patience and perseverance shows through for a great result. Wonder if this idea could be used for the bolts on the wales, because they are mostly painted black? Havagoodone mate Greg

G'day Toni First this first, I've spent many enjoyable hours reading and digesting you marvelous log. I havta echo everyone's comments, there is only 1 thing I can add: bloody brilliant! Secondly I'm sorry for being away so long.I had some personal problems and I'm slowly getting back to read all the incredible logs. This model is a credit not only to you, but a great source of information for all of us here. Thank you so much. Havagooday Greg

G'day Vince The staircases are brilliant! Well done and love liked the curved balustrade, it must have taken you a lot of time to get them so right. Havagooday Greg

G'day Ulisus Sorry I've been away for a long time. Had a few personal problems and I'm slowly getting back to read all the logs that I've missed. I have been very tired lately and my energy level is low. Bloody marvelous on everything mate that I have seen and I spent a few enjoyable hours reading your log. Well done havagoodone mate Greg

Denis that is about what I got. 8.2 pounds. G'Day Nils I have gone through all the adjectives that I could say about the funnels. But the best that I can say is an Ozzie term, so here it is again: bloody fantastic! Regarding what Joel said about painting inside the funnels soot black..... I think the ship's engines will soon make them quite sooty. The ship looks so real! Havagooday my friend Greg

G'day Patrick You're 100 % correct, Denis has got an eagle eye. If it help you, I havta go back to check the photos twice until I saw the splinter. 😆 The engine room is so good that I can hear a gentle purrrrrr of the engines after the tune up. It's fantastic, bloody fantastic in actual fact. Havagoodweekend my friend Greg 😊
