Voss, we get Apple TV, BritBox, Amazon Prime, Max and free YouTube. Do you subscribe to any of those? -
What a drag, Vossie. At least you know the reason for the pain and you're getting treatment. I can recommend some binge worthy TV shows/series if needed.

Gorgeous hull, Keith. As close to perfection as can be found in this world.
-
Steve, the brass and natural wood is a good look. Whatever you use to preserve the shiny brass make sure the process is easily reversible. That way in fifty years a good cleaning won't be a taffy pulling contest.

Instead of a place where folks were trying to sell stuff they no longer wanted or had room for, eBay became a site where folks were trying to make a living. There are still items that come up for sale that are a bargain but you're right, Chris, prices for the most part have become pretty stupid.
-
Chris, I know nothing of the seller but what's stated by eBay, they have a 100% rating after 91 sales. Say what you will about eBay, they do take their seller's ratings seriously. I'm not as active on eBay as I once was because you can only stuff so much in a five pound bag. Twenty five years ago or there bouts we purchased five cars off eBay and to date we have almost 500 purchases. I trust eBay because we've always had positive experiences, others may feel differently. Follow the old adage, buyer beware.

Fantastic engines, LJP. The Crawfords mechanicals are a delight.

Beautiful work, Craig. When finished she's gonna be a real looker.

That was my first thought, Paul. Jacques, I'm not sure the hull's curves would be obscured. I fact, displaying in that manner allows one to see more of the keel than what's normally seen in traditional displays. You could go crazy and add sand and create a beach scene.

Thank you, John. Thank you, Peter.

Jacques, while stir sticks maybe free but IMHO you're doing yourself a disservice by using them. Midwest Products basswood strips would be a much better choice. I know you know of them as you've mentioned them in an earlier post. Having said that, you're doing a nice job of deck planking with the freebees.

Thank you, Rick. Thank you, Roel. God has blessed me greatly with good health both physically and mentally. If He continues to bless I do see a future dredger build. Lula is starting to come to life. I missed a golden opportunity when naming this build log. I should have named it, Tender Lula. Thank you for your support by following Lula's build. Keith

Dream of building full size to reality of building models

J, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard. -
Thank you guys for your kind comments and the likes. These are the bits I used to make the steam engine but I wound up not using the etched eye pins.I used brass wire in 22, 24, 26 and 28 GA. The two pieces of dowel joined and the piston rod added. I think these are rivets from I can't remember what. Everything is put together with CA. The bits on the left are one hole stanchions. I had to add a brass bead for height plus it adds some visual interest. It's starting to look like something. Rocker arm assembly. Rocker arm added. And the completed engine. Eberhard, this is the best me ole camera can do on closeups. It's late so painting the engine will have to wait. Once the engine is painted and a little black pastel powder is added it's be time to finally start adding some walls! Thank you everyone for following along and being part of Lula's journey. keith

The Phoenix has nice lines to her and you've done a wonderful job with her, Chris.

Jacques, this is going to be a nice model of a work a day vessel. The older I get the more attracted I've become to common everyday workboats. I'm enjoying your build of a subject that's south of my modeling experience.

It's nice to see a post from you, Brian. All your 3D printed pieces came out really well, they look great.
-
Thank you, Pat. Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Glen. Thank you, Eberhard. The photos I posted are as close to the engine as I dare take. I'm disappointed as the engine is not one of my better pieces, it looked much better in my minds eye before building it. I'll take build photos when I start the second engine, hopefully it'll be good enough for some closeup images. Thank you, Eric. You made me smile. Thank you, Keith Thank you, John.

Perseverance is the name of the game in so much of what we do. It turned out looking right spiffy, Chris.
