LOL!!! Certainly narrows it down, Kevin! I promise, my next one will be a sub. Do you know which one this is?
-
Good evening, Anja (hope I got it right this time!) It is not the Sunset Glow either. Right part of the world, though! This one was built for the Coal, Stone and Lumber trades and met a most disagreeable end.

No, sorry, not the Victory Chimes.
-
Welcome - look forward to watching and learning as I start on my ECB. -
Good morning, Anja - sorry, not the James Postlewaithe.

Looked at hundreds of 2 masted schooners and sloops! Here's the next one
-
Took a danged lot of searching to find this one! The Warspite, Anguilla's most famous ship. 75 feet long, built in 1902.

Goodnight, Mobbsie! Safe travels!

I found it on the Model expo website via a search - shows as none in inventory so not sure if they can supply them any longer. http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=MS107 It is also on the Modelshipyard website at http://www.modelshipyard.com.au/product.asp?id=2048&pid=129

Bingo. Your turn, David!

This one seems to be presenting a challenge...the vessel in question is also in this photograph.

Would have to agree - selling the original a second time doesn't infringe on copyright, else libraries, thrift stores and used book dealers would all be in court all the time! Distributing copies of the copyrighted work is where you cross a line. The royalty issue applies to first (initial) sale only, not subsequent sales down the food chain. The next area of interest will be how they handle the resale of e-books such as those on the Kindle...right now, very difficult to do, but who knows down the road.

Thanks, Danny - I have to say that for most quick conversions, I use the quick reference tables as well - it takes me longer to dig out my calculator, think through what I want to do, and then plug it in than it does to look at the chart. I work in both sets of measurement, depending upon what I am working on. When my plans and instructions are in Imperial I tend to stick with that. It is also much more intuitive for me to think in terms of inches and feet than in terms of mm and m. I grew up with the imperial system, and can visualize the dimensions much better than i can metric. I do, however, use the metric system extensively in my work life (but that is another story).

Try this one on - and enjoy!

Need someone to carry your suitcase for you :D

At first I was thinking it might be the Mystic Whaler, but the aft deck house and rigging don't look right. By any chance is it the Carthaginian II - now a reef off Lahiana Harbor in Hawaii?
-
LOL!!! We knew you would be able to explain the situation for us!!!!!
-
Sjors - thanks for stopping by! Keith - Nautical book collection fills that book case plus another. We are still entering and cataloging our collections, but at about 120 Nautical themed books (excluding downloaded files), over 400 cookbooks, 150 terrorism and other emergency management related...and too many boxes yet to sort (philosophy, history, economics, international relations...). Now, then, the big announcement is that the keel did, indeed, get assembled last night. No photos but will get some up as soon as I get a chance. Looks like this build is officially underway!

Anja - I thought about a simple "You are welcome", but that seemed so inadequate. While we have never met, you and Sjors are a source of humor, support and inspiration to my model building endeavors - it is an honor to refer to you as my friends. All of your friends, and there are many around the world, hold you in our thoughts and prayers - I know how challenging this time of change must be, and admire you for your upbeat attitude and outlook. Your kind words above have touched me deeply, and for that I thank you. With fondest wishes for your continued health, happiness and professional success - Wayne, Ro & the rest of the crew at the shipyard (Brett, Dakota, Tyler & Kimber send their good luck wishes as well!)

For me, at least, if i have a challenge and someone can provide a photo to show me a possible solution, I'm all for it! When in doubt, post a quick question as your response - worst that can happen is the original poster will say no thanks! -
Happy Easter, Keith - hope you had a pleasant day! Not a great deal of building today. Needed to make some modifications to the shipyard to accommodate the build. First step was to empty the bookshelf next to the workbench and convert for tool storage. The ECB will now reside on top of the desk until other space clears out (that is, if I ever finish the Harriet Lane and Detector...) A different bookshelf emptied and relocated - nautical books now reshelved. I invested in a second set of plans - nearly ready now to glue the first keel pieces and get underway!
-
Hey there, Frank! Thanks for stopping by! Almanza will be shifting over to this build when he gets done with the Harriet Lane, but me thinks the jr apprentice will have him wrapped around her finger in no time flat! This is the plank on frame from Model Shipways - looking forward to really getting rolling on this one!

Where do flag halliards go? Deck or top?
