texxn5 got a reaction from riverboat in HMS Agamemnon by mobbsie - FINISHED - Caldercraft / Jotika - 1/64
Oddly enough, that was one of my new toys last week also. No wonder mine was on back order for so long...you guys bought em out. Some day I'll get to try mine out....right now it's just staring at me and whining!

texxn5 got a reaction from greatgalleons in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
Well, it has been a slow day in the shipyard today so far. I worked on different parts of the masts today, mainly for getting the feel of what I'm doing and what I need to do. Couldn't really get into it today for some reason, so it's mostly piddly stuff. I cut the pieces for the foremast and worked on them. Squaring them and tapering them, and building crosstrees. I put them back on the ship for reference and to visualize how it's going to look. One thing is for sure...the masts are going to be tall. Added a few more tools to the Tryworks area.....scrapers, copper dippers, and hand hooks.......right side of front of Tryworks on the brick step....don't show up well in pictures....tomorrow more work on the mainmast and the bowsprit......so here are some random pictures for you know who....

Hi guys, just a quick update. Thanks for all the warm wishes. No problems here. Just need to be doing some things besides building a ship model. All is well and I'll be back when I can. Take care everyone.....hopefully not too long.

I'm certainly going to miss you while you take a break and we understand how life can rear it's head and get in the way of a complicated project like the Morgan. The important thing is that you stay well.
We'll leave a light burning in the stern gallery for you John.

Hello everyone, well, I am going to try to get a little work done in shipyard tomorrow....no promises since I do have some other things to do, but hopefully....if not then Wednesday. I have been waiting for a couple of new toys to come in and they all finally made it today. I am anxious to try them out. I'm planning to rework the anchors, and then start in on the masts and deadeyes and chain plates, and then go from there. It is approaching travel time again, and with the earthquakes in LA rethinking our trip. Might go east again and wait on sourthern Cal and the west coast. I only rethink the L.A. part because I was in the Northridge quake in 94 and that is why I left LA.....I was 3 miles from the epicenter, then last year in Costa Rica for the 7.9 quake.....don't like them....see you soon, and hopefully some pictures....

I lived in the Canoga & Califa area near Balboa park off the 101. Cal State is on Reseda. I expected to see water up to the 101 when it got to be daylight....SM shook some, but not like us..I had stuff in the freezer wind up in the fridge before it fell over...freeky

Yea you guys got hit very hard for sure, including all of the deaths in Reseda (which was the Actual epicenter).
In SM over 200 buildings were red tagged. We had minor drywall damage, but a LOT of stuff fell. We are a bit nervous, and with our son living in Berkeley Hmmm. Fate is the Hunter (great book by the way (:-)

Well John,
You sure have had your share of earthquakes. And as you know living in Santa Monica for so many years, so have I. Regarding travel plans to So Cal, you must have insider info, if you plan on postponing your trip?? (:-)
