Bob Fraser got a reaction from VitusBering in King of the Mississippi by Bob Fraser - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1/80 - 1st Build
Thanks Chris, thanks for looking in. Cooper is a "he" and was still chasing bits around ater they were packed away.
Bit more progress - after a couple of hours soaking managed to get the curved ends fitted to the top two cabins.
Lots of pins to hold the curves, not yet glued in place. Going to give them another 24 hrs to dry and keep the curve.
Even after several hours soak the plywood still cracked! Still, this will eventually be covered by the planking, so nothing that can't be sorted.
Cheers for now,
Bob

Bob Fraser got a reaction from Artesania Latina in King of the Mississippi by Bob Fraser - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1/80 - 1st Build
Had this started 9 years ago, as usual life got in the way but managed to put a bit together here and there. Not worth starting a build log just to have it seem abandoned.
Just started again the other day with a bit more time available.
Building this for my Admiral who would love to travel on one, but because of her own issues barely leaves the house.
Likeley to be a slow build so please bear with me.
Progress so far.
Hull built and planked
Livestock area. I added tie rings to both side. You don't want animals fighting over the hay or running wild on deck!
Hooks for the livestock area. Rounded tops so no animal injuries!
Barn doors and hinge. Looks better from a normal viewing distance 🙂
And where would I be without my helper!
Cheers for now,
Bob

Bob Fraser got a reaction from mtaylor in The Sea Warriors -- a book not to be missed!
Was already on my bookshelf to read!
2p (yes £0.02) + £2.80 postage on Amazon (used)
A google search also brought it up on google books where you can read the entire book online - didn't think you could, but there it is.
You can't save it, but can add it to your google library
Reading at the moment, in a similar vein,
A Brief History of Fighting Ships: Ships of the Line and Napoleonic sea battles, 1793-1815 by David Daviesgives a good basic account of some of the major battles, some background information on the ships and the crews conditions of service, and life on board.
Again £0.01 on amazon
Cheers,
Bob
