  1. Sorry to hear about the hardship. You did a good job on the mouse, although the word reminds me of something attached to a PC ...
  2. Run Brian, Run You are even versatile with needle an thread ... better keep out of the way from now on, or I should need stitches ... Nice work on the sails. I refrain from comment on the reefing cords
  3. That's some lovely metal work, Mark. It certainly looks like it is in scale, nothing to bulbous or grotesque. Very well done!!
  4. Another quicky, Dan. Very beautiful build, and I loved the instructive setup of the log. Enjoyed it from start to finish, it almost looks as if it is easy! Cheers
  5. Well done Marcus, especially for a first scratch build. Nice to see a Dutch ship too. Thanks for sharing
  6. "You can't see it because it is not there ! I had to redo it." Oh really bummer ...
  7. Luckily we can't see the cut thread ... you threaded lightly? She already looks the belle of the ball M...ike
  8. Nice details Mick. "Bashing about" happens when there are labourers around
  9. No a man on his horse wouldn't, his horse would be all over Interesting solution, mixing Japanese and German racking. Looks like it is the way it should though
  10. You can dip the white thread in tea and have a nice colour ... at least, if it isn't polyester
  11. (propeller: I know the parts are laying on my bench ... waiting, like you. to busy with intruding life and work) Looks good Mark MIKE. Usually they use a light colour on the lanyards, maybe not on this type of vessel. You start at the top deadeye, and end at the top as well, so you can fasten it to the riging above the deadeye
  12. only 500m! I read the scale as 1200 Besides that, I always mess up those scale calculations ... that's why I shouldn't scratch build, I would make a Titanic triple it's real size!!!
  13. they act like a keel. are lowered on the lee side as that side is lower and will have a better hold on the leeboard, more effective
  14. When I see how you tackled all the other "misfits" and improvements you made I can't see how this little piece of red deck will give you a problem. Lovely work on the anchors and flag poles. A mere 2.5 m railing, how long would it have been in reality ... something like 3 km? stroll in the park for you
