Hi Donny, thank you for dropping by and your kind comments . Your model is looking sensational Mate, nice work!! I'm a bit behind where you're at, I'm currently working on the ladders and other external hull fixtures, it's a bit slow at the moment but moving forward. Have you got a build log going? Reason I'm asking is that I visit the logs from time to time but can't recall seeing yours. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on your build, keep up the good work. Cheers, Rowan D.

Hi Bob, I'm always amazed at the quality of the builds I see on MSW and the amount of effort builders put into the finest details on their models. I can only echo the comments of others and say that's stunning work, Mate. Keep it up. Cheers, Rowan D.

Hello All, A note to say 'Hi to All' and thanks to Geoff for his info, I found the timber I needed at Float a Boat as he suggested. I have to say that I was impressed with their huge range of timber stock! Thank you for the good intel Geoff... Also, thankfully, the Admiral is on the road to recovery now and showing signs of returning to her old self but still a long way to go for her. As for the Endeavour, what little time I've had to devote to the model has been spent with finding time to get the timber stock, acquiring some more gear (tools and stuff), making some bits and pieces to help with the build and setting up the model on a datum board (better late than never). Meanwhile, I've taken up full-time work again and up to this point progress on the model has been intermittent and slow, so I can't post any new photos (yet). I hope all your modelling projects are going well and according to plan. Have a great day and Cheers, Rowan D.

G'day Ron, I can only echo previous posts and agree that you've done a very nice job. Looking forward to seeing more. Have a good one, Cheers, Rowan D.

G'day Jack, That's a lovely job on the model you're building. Busted cameras and little fingers are a pain and it's good to see that you've recovered from both. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your build. Cheers, Rowan D.

G'day Wes, So sorry for your loss, my best wishes to you and your family. Best regards, Rowan D.

Hi Antony, nice to see your son involved and keen to build a model of any sort. Keep up the posts and looking forward to the progress. Cheers, Rowan D.

Hi Sjors, I wouldn't mind the trip but trying to explain the purpose of why we are going to the Admiral might be the hard part, I'd have to sweeten the deal a bit. Cheers, Rowan D.
-
Thanks Geoff, I might be over that way in the next week or two and will check them out too... Turn left after you enter the Hearns store and you'll see their bits on the display stand and wall. I found it by accident when I was rummaging around, also the Vic Hobby Centre in Swanston Street has a small stock as well. Cheers, Rowan D.

You've done a great job Dan. Cheers, Rowan D.

Thanks Slog, I'll check them out. We've got Hearns Hobbies in town and they stock a good variety of kit wood and a lot of standard kit items for deck and rigging and as the good Admiral Missus doesn't read my posts, I can confess that this gives me a neat little opportunity to pay them a visit (and meander around the shop for a bit)..... btw, nice work on your Bismarck build. Have a good one, Rowan D.

Thanks Sjors, It should've been a bit further advanced than what it is but that's what we have, now I have to work out a way to get some time to break free and get to the model shop and buy the timber......any hints? I can't use the old excuse of errrrrrrr........ going to the supermarket, they don't sell spare parts for models. Anybody care to offer advice, feel free........ Have a great weekend, Cheers, Rowand D.

G'day Pat, Thanks for your good wishes and you're spot on with your thoughts about the kit but no-one else to be cross with except my-self for not checking properly. I was able to get on with it and have removed the strakes now and I've posted a couple of photos of where I'm up to at the moment. I'm satisfied with the outcome of the removal process and now it's back to the model shop now to get some more timber. Have a great weekend, Cheers, Rowan D.

Hi All, I trust that you are all well and progressing with your respective models. My wife is recovering now and I have a bit of time to slink off and work on the Endeavour, so I'm back at it albeit slowly. I've had a big "whoops" and found that I've attached the rubbing strakes to the hull at the wrong height. Grrrrrrr......... Once I understood the problem and stopped walking around in circles, I've been slowly working to remove them and get this little speed hump sorted out. I know what went wrong and how I made the mistake, I didn't research the AL instructions and diagrams well enough and after reviewing the data, I convinced myself that they were in the right position and proceeded to glue them on to the hull. They're about 5mm too high - anyway, On, On!....... I'll post a couple of photos in my next post. Have a great day, Cheers, Rowan D.

I can only echo Mike's comments, it is beautiful work! Cheers, Rowan D.

The back end looks great.,,,,,,, Nice work Mate!! Cheers, Rowan D.

G'day Greg, Sorry to see your model in such a state. As you say, the damage isn't too severe but you've got a challenge ahead of you. As for the cat..... I don't have any advice there, my wife has two of them and I live in a constant state of concern with my model (even though it's out of the way). I did try to train them both with my remote controlled tank but realised it only made them climb on things to escape it....... we lost the odd picture frame and my wife developed a disagreeable disposition and hid the tank's battery charger. Keep smiling.... Cheers, Rowan D.

Hi Bob, I'm new to your build log. Your model is looking beautiful, you are doing a fantastic job! Don't worry about the eyes and hands, they're spot on. Enjoy the build and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. Cheers, Rowan D

Hi All, I haven't forgotten MSW, I thought I'd drop in to say that apart from the usual distractions, I've had a couple of unavoidable delays to the Endeavour project. Work was one of them but the main one has been that my wife has been unwell and I've been helping her out a fair bit where I can. I've done a little bit of work on the model since my last posting but not enough to take a photo and post it on MSW, I'll get back to it soon enough but in the mean time, I hope that you are all well and happily progressing with your projects. Have a great day and Happy Friday. Cheers, Rowan D.
