The like isn't for the drop obviously 😉 You're doing good 👍 -
Now I never have that trouble as the Admiral won't go near my bench but the door is often closed usually while I'm still at the bench her excuse? You're getting dust everywhere.
-
Looking good Tom, I don't envy the amount of sanding you've inflicted on yourself, but must say you doing great. Love the fact it's your dads sub, must give you extra motivation 🙂😉

My two granddaughters are all Harry Potter at the moment, the grandson is the stereotypical boy and loves cars, bikes and planes. The girls are quite creative (drawing, and lego) then along comes the boy and he'd do well in demolition, then WW3 breaks out and grandpa is back on mission clear up (see previous post)
-
Oh yes I know that look well, but then I get distracted on mission clear up and carry on where the kids left off

and welcome to MSW from further south on the Trent

Thanks for the compliment RK, as is your Victory build at a much smaller scale😱with much more rigging.

Ain't that just the way, turn everywhere upside down looking then find it when you're not even looking for it, just after you've ordered another🤨 The carbon fibre decals look fantastic, tough to tell from the real thing. -
Hello again, a fine sunny morning here and the table saw was out on the backyard. I cut a 40 x 65mm piece of pine into a selection of different size sticks. These will be used for the deck furniture that will be painted first was the windlass supports, and that's as much as I got done because the Admiral and my eldest daughter decided we needed some fresh air, so ended up going for a 5 mile walk. I'm going to re-read know to make an octagonal stick from a square one and get the windlass barrel done. thanks for the likes👍 Cheers

I had my Winchelsea plans done on normal plan paper, the sort they use for architectural drawings, but I don't know what you'd call it over there🙂

It's amazing how with this technology you're able to run multiple locomotives on the same loop at different speeds
-
But you had the same experience apart from send them home, imho it's the being with them that's the fun bit, especially when we're all getting told off for making the front room messy then moving on to the conservatory to do the same😋😂

I found that fantastic for wargame scenery as it's so easy to carve a plateau on a hillside for troop placement.
-
Amazing absolutely amazing, nuff said
-
Best behaviour from now on then😁

For basic construction Lego was brilliant, then there was the Meccano sets but as Roger mentioned dads workshop/shed was a goldmine for curious boys and most definitely led me to my choice of career (construction)
-
Mine was a 00/H0, track was mainly Hornby and the rolling stock and locos were Mainline by Palitoy, used to get loads as two of my aunties worked at the palitoy factory 😆. I had three continuous loops and an end to end branch line with a reasonable marshalling yard. When I'd got it wired up fully I could have had four trains running simultaneously but alas it never ever got finished 😔as life always seemed to have other plans
-
Thankyou for your kind remarks Tim, OC, Tom and Glenn 🙂 I remade the ladder, but I'm not sure wether it's any better than the first one, although it doesn't look as bad in the photos as it looks in life. still I'm going to knock another one up, just so I've got the choice 😏 will be starting on the rest of the deck fittings, with the windlass, main and bowsprit bits first. Hopefully the weather will be fine enough for me to get my table saw outside to cut some timber for said parts. you can just see a bit of a twist in the ladder in the above photo. Anyway thanks to all who looked in and the likes. Cheers 😁

You're cracking on with it OC
-
Wow, you could still build a layout then? sadly and rather stupidly with hindsight, I let all my track, rolling stock and locomotives go (with a little sad tear in my eyes) to make room for our second child, and at the time the money I got for it came in handy. So with my grandson I can start again😉
-
Oh no problem with space, where he lives there's a 12'x12' brick built outhouse with power and heating, I've already earmarked it for future use and told my daughter 😏 Be nice to get back into terrain modelling again as I've not done it for many years.
-
That's basically what I told her, I can't wait to see her face when we turn up with a "proper" glue and paint needed model😂 and then there's the train layout he's just got to have!! I'm besides myself just thinking of what my grandson "needs"🤤
-
Just a small side project took on with my 6 year old grandson. Much to his mums distress I'm introducing him to the joys of model kits 😂 These quickbuild kits are so simple! no glue or paint required! He and I completed this F22 in an hour therefore leaving no time for his 6 year old mind to wander. I was there as a consultant, explaining the instructions as he did all the building. he thinks it's cool and has already chosen what he want to do next (a Lamborghini Aventador) My little bit at keeping the hobby going and trying to get kids interested in actual not virtual pastimes again. Thanks for looking in😉

Interesting subjects.

Thanks Tim, With great difficulty, I've had four attempts before I got one I was satisfied with. This was #1, a bit too small as you could see into the open hull past the edges. #2 not as poor but I wasn't happy and #3 never even made it down the hole. #4 made in two pieces and glued to some cross beams wedged and glued between the hull and the false keel. It's about 3 times as wide as the hatch and really tested my dexterity to fiddle it in to position. I'm re-doing the ladder. The lower deck is now in and 32mm below the upper which if scaled up to full size would be somewhere between 4'11 and 5'1 Next time I'll do this before the top deck but I wasn't planning this companion way. Thanks for popping in and the likes😁 Cheers
