Just caught up on this one Phil. 

Very nice remodeling work.

As mentioned above very crisp and tidy 👍

I'm going to use my chair as the rafters are really busy these days 😁. Ihave an extra snickers  Lou. 

I'm ready for another lesson in plastic kit modelling. 

I used to like the supporting series they showed before the main feature 

My dad found some of his photos from 56/57.

Sorry about the quality.

I have 3 raised beds for veggies, 1 - 3 ft x 3 ft, 2 - 3 ft x 6 ft. The 3x3 is tomatoes, peppers, bush beans; 1- 3x6 is all potatoes, red skins and purple aka Adirondack potatoes, have a purple skin and purple meat very tasty; other 3x6 is beets, broccoli, egg plant and kolhrabi.  I use the "square foot" gardening technique for the veggies. 

 

The flowers are the peripheral gardens, we just augmented them with a variety of phlox, coneflowers, Bee Balm (Manarda),  coral bells, coleus. The flower gardens are well established, we just augment them from year to year. 

Never been able to grow tomatoes,  they flower then the fruit doesn't get larger than a grape and stays green 🤔😟

For the virus or cats ?   I was thinking a few Claymores for the cats, but decided that was too drastic  

I think it would work for both 😏

Thanks for that Lou - I am headed out to my local hobby shop shortly to pick up a few things & will see what they have.

Your local hobby store is OPEN? You lucky stiff.

 

I have two local stores, three if you count Hobby Town from as close as two blocks away and as far as six or seven miles. MANY more if I want to drive further. NOT ONE is open right now! Probably a good thing as I tend to buy more than what I need when I do go in anyway.

Even without the current situation I would have at least 2 or 3 hours of driving to get to a proper model/hobby shop that stocks more than railway or basic materials 😟

Coming along nicely Eamonn, going to be a great little boat when she's finished. 

I will definitely be here if you follow on with Sherbourne 😁

I got bit of deja vous! More fun to be had😏 . Looking good Denis 

That figurehead came out really well,  great work ! You've more patience than me with the small fiddly stuff. 

Stern fillers sanded,  I'll mark the hull for the wales and think about what I going to use for a deck

as I said great weather for sanding 

Cheers 

Tony and Derek, thank you. 

The bulkheads have been squared up and glued. I've put some fillers in at the bow and faired all but the last two stern bulkheads as I'm waiting for the glue on the fillers to cure.

I have also cut a stem and keel  from a piece of 5mm walnut but it needs a bit of work still and won't be fitted till I done 1st planking, although that said I'm still not decided wether to go with single plank or double. 

Thanks for looking in and the likes 👍

Cheers 

Not a lot happening due to weather being too nice to be inside! but great for sanding 😊

Looks  good OC,  you done well with the rescue work 👍😊

Mind if I pull up a chair for this one?

Good looking Winnie, great job. If mine looks half as nice I'll be pleased 

Nice!!! Lovely spitfire Carl😁

Great work at a small scale! She is shaping up to be a beauty 😁👍

Welcome

Even though the etched deck is fantastic I do think that if you have the inclination and or the time an individually planked deck does add a certain something to a build, so I applaud your decision to go down this route. 

Speedy is looking fab 👍😁

Hello, with my Triton and Winchelsea builds on hold, I am going begin on one of two models of a naval Cutter (the other one being about 1:32 scale from the same plans with some differences).

So I used the Caldercraft Sherbourne plans of the kit I made last year, I scaled up by hand for the bulkheads and former, so the scale is not exact.  I used some pieces of 4mm ply left over from other projects. 

Next up is fairing the hull, squaring and glueing.

Bulkheads just fitted to check, not glued. 

Cheers 

Looking forward to seeing another Triton build and a pof one to boot. 

Good luck with your ship👍😊
