    Hey Vivian, Nice to see you've started your new log. If you do move to Canberra, be sure and let me know and I'll make sure the Welcome Mat is run out!

    Another interesting build Slog. I'm in!

    Great work Bob. Looks like you're overcoming all the challenges thrown at you with consummate ease!

    Congratulations on another truly fine model Greg.

    The matchstick says it all Greg.............

    Always interested to follow your Woody Joe builds Clare. This looks like another nice model.

    Looking great Rusty - very neat and immaculately clean!

    Looks fabulous Ben. Can't wait to see more progress in the fall.

    Mike, While I admire the design and complexity of the joint making, and your execution of it, when it comes to display cases, I think you need to be careful not to detract from the model itself - so "less is more" for me. Just my AUD $0.002 worth.

    Druxey, Would you please PM me Mihail's email address too? I don't think I can resist these much longer!

    Yeah - what Gerhard said!!!!!

    Don't know how I managed to miss the start of this build Gil, but I'm here now and delighted to follow along. So glad to see you back at the modelling bench. You've certainly made a great start - some very sweet lines showing already.

    Just WOW!!! Nils. That last pic in particular is just spectacular.

    It's been a real privilege, as well as an education, to follow this build B.E. Thank you for all the extra time and effort you have put into the log for our benefit. A truly beautiful model of which you can be justly proud.

    That gap sure is narrowing Ben - looking good!

    Looking great Bob. Enjoy your time away from the shipyard - we're not going anywhere!

    Nice to see you back at the bench Hamilton. Hope you get your templates to a satisfactory state soon so you can progress with the build.

    Outstanding B.E. Love the stand/cradle. Looking forward to seeing her finally in her case.

    Daniel, I don't know about "free" ones, but TurboCAD for Mac is very good and is relatively inexpensive.
  20. gjdale
    Great to see you back Danny and delighted to hear that your health has improved. I'll enjoy following along with another masterpiece.

    Nice progress Daria. Those planks seem to be going on very well. The boring tasks may be boring, but they are necessary to get a good end result. Keep up the great work.
  22. gjdale
    Nicely done Slog.
  23. gjdale
    Nice to see you back and posting again Rick - it's been too long my friend! I'll follow along from here too.

    A block tumbler would be a very useful thing if you are going to use the kit blocks. Very simple to make with short section of postal tube, some wooden dowel, and some sandpaper. I posted my method for making one in my HSM Victory log. Link below takes you to the correct page. Description starts at post #161. I made mine to be powered by my lathe, but you could equally use an electric hand drill for power, or even a hand crank. The tumbler can turn really crappy looking blocks into something half-way reasonable in fairly quick time. Hope this helps.

    John, I understand your pain re shipping costs - we have the same issue downunda. My only advice is to order everything you need as a bulk order to defray the shipping costs - then it doesn't hurt quite as much. Work out what sizes and quantities you need for all your rigging line, and all your blocks, add a margin for error, then place one order with Chuck (Syren). You won't regret the decision, and you'll be commending yourself for doing so long after you've forgotten the cost.
