  1. Have you seen the programme on national geographic and now on UK channel 5 "Drain the oceans" where they use computer graphics and scans to remove the water and show wrecks etc at the bottom of the sea, the graf zeppelin stars in one from Norway i think showing it after bombing by the Russians as training after the war
  2. Gone the other way now and beautiful sunny days which means the gardens have to be looked after and I cant get into the garage, however I have managed to lay some planks, I opened the garage this morning to hopefully get some work done but have spent the whole day mowing trimming etc so nothing done to the sirius again Regards Paul
  3. Absolutely stunning, you need to stop playing and do some building😁😁
  4. So we had a couple of days of sunshine last week and I managed to get my table saw out and cut some holly ready for the quarterdeck planking, good job I did it when I did as its rained ever since Now need to cut into planking on the small Proxxon saw, next photos hopefully of some planking on the quarterdeck
  5. As a visitor to a similar unit a few years ago, all the best for a speedy recovery, there are others on this site who have also been in this position and will join in wishing you a full\healthy and speedy recovery Best regards Paul
  6. Nicely priced as well, not, although the thicknesser is a bit more reasonable
  7. Thankyou Ken and your little friends, I sure hope so he was a special little fella
  8. Thankyou mark and Rick, you are not wrong, last night my other half left her black jeans on the floor and as I went up the stairs I nearly had a heart attack as I thought it was him lying there Regards Paul
  9. Thanks guys and Amelia, he sure did Keith, we had him from about six weeks old and he only went to the vets once ( to be neutered) until last night
  10. Unfortunately a sad end to last evening our elder cat of 17 years came in with his paw hanging like he'd been run over. We rushed him to the vets who very kindly opened up at that time of night, he informed us that he had had a kind of stroke and had a blood clot blocking an artery somewhere. We had to decide to put him to sleep and I buried him this morning next to his best friend who passed a few years ago Sleep tight old fella
  11. Beautiful work kortes, that planking from behind looks fantastic Regards Paul
  12. Thanks Keith's that made me chuckle, cutting holly for the few deck planks needed is the next job and deciding on the skylight or grating, probably grating as that's whats shown on the plan as Mark said above
  13. Hi Chris Please do some 1/48 scale as well, they are extremely hard to find and I know I would purchase some, many people on this site have discussed this scale figures at times and would be interested as well I'm sure Regards Paul
  14. Behind the mizzen mast is normally the companion/skylight which is shown on most models including the Diana models in the NMM my plans show a normal grating here but with a raised coaming ,on the plan from above just a square with companion written on it and on the profile a flat grating and coaming, does anyone have any ideas how I should show this? A grating or skylight that is the question? Which would be appropriate, the Diana book shows a skylight?
  15. As a diversion while doing the knees (for some reason they get right into my head) I made a new mould for the cheerful guns after adding a tompion, kings cypher and gunlock cover The new mould can be seen below and behind is how they come out before trimming, painting etc I also added a breeching ring above the cascable which hou can just make out in the photo
  16. So after trying to find every excuse I could to put off the lodging knees I have finally managed to finish them, hence the few weeks since last entry I have also worked on the mizzen mast step and associated gratings etc
