Jobbie, Looking good. Mind if I watch over your shoulder? -
Charlie, I agree absolutely. May I be the first to say thanks for expressing this so well? Seasons best wishes.

Sounds like the Mini Mamoli range may have something for you. Chris mentioned them in post#2. Their Cutty Sark is 210mm/ 8 1/4 inches high.

... and don't ask me why I believe you. Thanks!

Mine arrived today. I am totally satisfied with the solid construction and the range of the movement. I probably won't use it for blacksmith-style jobs but it really does look a lot tougher than I expected. Glad I got it.

Welcome to MSw Roberts. I agree, that is a fine looking kayak . -
Hello Michael, welcome to MSW

Hello Stuart, welcome to MSW. You will find plenty of people here will empathise with your fondness for memorabilia. Some even share tales of hiding recent finds from the admiral (forum speak for significant other 😉). Glad to have you aboard.

My thanks to @Thunder for pointing out this range recently: http://www.rodlangton.com/index-2.html

Sutcliffe 1/72 vac form Coronado

Glad to see Gordon's work is still getting attention. 😊 He had to make a couple of guesses on this one and they turned out to be absolutely correct! -
Copied and pasted exactly as I found it: I of course have no first hand experience in these matters. Spruce Beer Vice Admiral Samuel Graves to Philip Stephens "Sir … Being on the Subject of provisions it is indispensably become my Duty to represent to their Lordships that the custom of supplying New England Rum to his Majesty's Ships is in my humble opinion highly prejudicial to the State. The use of it destroys the Health and Faculties of the People and debilitates them surprizinzly [sic]. The Seamen always continue healthy and active when drinking spruce Beer; but in a few days after New England Rum is served, altough mixed with four or five Waters, the Hospital is crouded with sick, and those on board are pallid, weak, and incapable of doing half their Duty. I appeal to the Captains of the Squadron that this is always the Consequence of their Crews having New England Rum." Since 'spruce beer' is basically boiled and fermented wood, we can only imagine what qualities the New England Rum must have had to prompt this plea.

It is looking good. The 'EDIT' facility is in a dropdown menu in the top right corner: HTH Bruce

Mark, I have gone back through this build to catch up. I think this will be a magnificent ship, I had no idea the Ancre plans were for a POB build. I will pull up a chair if you have room for one more?

That is what blue paint is for ...

Thanks, I have ordered one and wonder how I survived so long without this tool.

Ben, welcome to MSW. Looking forward to seeing your Danmark.

You are off to good start, and it looks like choosing a kit from Chuck supplied by Model Expo was a good move. I always like the pinnace and considered it as a first kit, will be watching.

Hello Pieter and welcome to MSW. It is a great place to learn and, don't forget, you may have something to 'teach' as well. Your solutions to your issues in your build may be exactly what another builder is looking for. Glad to have you on board.

Bob, while you chill out on the beach I think I will be reading this blog from post #1. That is a fine looking model. Bruce

Hello Mike, and welcome to MSW. That looks like another interesting water-hot-rod project, why not start your own build log and post a quick 'hello' in new member introductions? I will be watching to see what you do with that iconic hydroplane. Regards, Bruce
