  1. To be honest I may or may not of let go on purpose, to see if he would go up!! For research purposes only of course 😉😁
  2. Just an enquiry wether anyone has any information on HMS Barbican between 1950-1958. It's home port was Rosyth and went to the Med at the time of the Suez crisis but the Egyptians closed the canal and so she stayed at Valletta. I know she was a coal burner and launched in 1939. Have searched the internet but very little comes up about Barbican, her sister ships are a bit better documented, but Barbican is the one my dad served on therefore any info gratefully appreciated. Cheers 👍😀
  3. Yep, I did that as a kid, great fun. I tried with one of those soldiers with a parachute that you got to throw up and they would float down, he was last seen stuck to the front of the lorry following us on the motorway 😕
  4. Loving the paint job Craig, really smart looking!!
  5. Yes, a quick re-read of the log mentions he is using pear, my mistake😕 Still looks really good though!
  6. Thanks Craig, I can get that from Amazon uk. Hopefully Dauntless parts should turn up in a week or so.👍😃
  7. Very nice planking, love the colour of your cherry. On the strength of that I think I may go the same way as I can get cherry boards easier than AYC
  8. Looks good Mark, it's been fun and very informative watching, thanks 😁
  9. And I've got this to come,🤔 I may, no, will be asking lots of questions 😉 Looking good though Craig
  10. I know exactly what you mean!!! And it's not just model kits, that's where my scroll saw came from, but I am limiting my viewing to once or twice maybe three times a week
  11. Yes don't just tease I was also looking at car models and bikes and ships and tanks and guns!!! I think that rabbit hole has just got bigger and sucked me in🤣🤣
  12. Tallisker distillery on Skye do a decent malt. I'm coppering one side of Triton if the second side of planking looks ok!
  13. It's going to look awesome when it is finished!!!!, I shall keep my eye on it with enjoyment and interest!!
  14. Mmm this talk of chowder is making me hungry, and I've got 3 hours til my tea😫
  15. I'm a tad late to the party, is there room at the back?? Very nice work to date 😃👍
  16. Great job Denis, I like the different take as a captured plane used against its former masters😉
  17. Welcome to MSW Tony, unfortunately I can't help with your question but I'm sure there's someone on here who can 👍
  18. It's that rabbit hole scenario again . You're doing TWO!!!😱 At least I'll know which one I'm catching up on, yours or J's
  19. Nice motor Jack. I'll stick my thumb out if I see you passing The polish idea is a great tip I may employ sometime, thanks
  20. Been a while since I set this log up, but bought myself a used scroll saw at the weekend and actually started cutting the bulkheads and keel former from some 6mm mdf. I have found that mdf cuts very well. With so many bulkheads it's going to be quite a time til I've got them all cut, as I've never used a scroll saw before and am taking my time to get them right. As soon as I have something resembling a skeleton I will post some photos. Til then cheers 😃👍
