Congratulations Mate Not many people can boast that, and I do agree with you about it's being a nice return for all your time and efforts. in making that BLOODY INCREDIBLE MODEL. Again Well Done Havagreatime at the shoot GREG

G'Day Steve Sorry for my absence but I had some personal issues and I'm slowly getting through the log on MSW. Your Endeavour is Bloody marvellous and you should be extremely pleased the way is is coming together. Did you do all the Yards and Masks by sanding only? I'll be at that stage very soon. Havagooday Mate Greg

So true, but the same modellers also understand and feel how frustrating the camera lens can be. But this is the reason why we all try to beat that 'EVIL EYE'. Not for the Joe Public, but for our own self esteem. Havagooday Greg

G'day Dave Havta agree with you, but sometimes it's a big pain in the ar#e. I wish the lens are more like our old eyes: not too sharp. Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Patrick Are you going to put ear muffin in the engine room? I can hear the noise of the engine from Perth to here in Sydney. Looks so real mate! Havagooday Greg

G'day Nils BRAVO. I haveta say again what you have done is bloody brilliant! There are no other words that can describe this wonderful model. I hope that your admiral will have lots of cups of coffee and tea for all the foot traffic that you will have, when you display this model. Havagooday mate Greg

G'day Mark That's is very good of Euromodel! Not many kit company will do that. I guess that's is why they are one of the best kit supplies in the world, if not the best. Keep up with your great work Mark. Havagooday Greg

I must agree with Dave. The craftmen in those days were amazing. Just imagine doing that with only hand tools. Also drilling through 9 feet of keel timbers for joining the keel together with amazing accuracy. The true carpenters has now disappeared. havagooday Greg

G'day Mark I just thought of something and this is a big assumption. I would assume that the French would only use boards roughly the same size for aesthetics reasons. I don't think that they would use a 22 feet next to a 40 feet next to a 25 feet and so on. To me that would look like a "dog's breakfast". I know if you assume, you make an *** out of u and me.

G'day John from Australia. You will find everyone here are here to help others. These forum members will soon be like family, and if you have any questions, just ask and there will be people ready to answer. Havagooday Greg ☺ -
G'day Mark Again an example of pure excellence! I havta take my hat off to you again. Maybe the reason why all your photos are back to front is because you are from the States and not a forward country like Australia. 😆😊 LOL Havagooday my friend Greg
-
G'day Mark The Death Star Mark IV make it easier for you, but I think it is still bloody hard. It must be a real brain strain. Looking great though. Havagooday my mate Greg
-
G'day Nils I must agree with all and say what you have done is bloody brilliant! Your craftsmanship is shinning through with everything that you do. Those funnels are breath taking with the amount of detail that you can do in such a small area. Well done 👏 and havagooday my friend Greg
-
G'day Patrick Ditto to all the comments! Regarding your quote about not stuffing things up yet- I hope you haven't junks yourself. Havagooday mate Greg
-
G'day Mark This might be an assistance to you! When I was doing research in lumber size for my Endeavour, I found out that the decking lengths were a maximum of 22 feet. This was England where trees were becoming very short in supply. This is why Australia was so important with our high hardwood trees and a huge amount. I guess France had a larger amount of trees because of the size compare to England. Good luck mate and havagooday Greg

G'day Amazing piece of artmanship. Bloody incredible work. Ditto to all the others comments. Happymodelling Greg
-
G'day Mark Just wondering if you know any forum on MSW that deals with laser cutters etc.
-
G'day Mark Sorry to hear that you were under the weather. I hope that you realize that I wasn't trying to push you (not much) to get some more posting done. You still up to your usual excellent standards even though you are not the best health wise. As in Australia we havta say bloody fantastic mate on the bow sprint. Hope you'll get well soon my friend.
-
G'day Mark Just wondering how're things progressing? It's been a while memattieee and I think its time to 'pullyurfin'rout'. I'm ichting to see more of yur marvelous work.
-
G'day Nils Again bloody fantastic is all I can say. Btw 'bloody fantastic' in Australian is the top notch when something is sooooo right. The diagonal shot is ditto, but can you answer me why a few funnels are facing the other direction? Maybe you answered this before, but I got forgot. Havagooday Greg
-
G'day Patrick Now the fun stuff! Bloody fantastic mate! Could you please tell us the size of the decking Timber please? It looks more like hair to me! I see you couldn't resist to put cushions in. Bravo! Happymodelling mate Greg
-
G'day Nils Brilliant work on the bending template! One question though, are there any 'bounce back' of the decking after you remove the template or have you taken that into account? Havagoodone mate Greg
-
G'day Dave A 'hopeless "tool nut"..' with a flair for excellent. Havagooday Greg
-
G'day Danny I shouldn't be amazed at the transaction because YOU did it. But memattie, its hard to believe it's the same model. As Mark said a touch of professionalism! Havagooday Greg
