  1. That's some awesome carving Steven ... a fitting figurine ... just another 90 oars to go .. you're in my thoughts!! Cheers
  2. Hello JesseLee, I'm not familiar with the plans on the rigging for the Syren, but there is a book: The Mastereing and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625 - 1860 / Lees, which could help you out. I've got my copy second hand and it is quite pristine. Unfortunately I cannot remember the price ... Maybe a library of some sorts could help you out if it is to expensive ... Or if you need specific information, I'm happy to scan some pages so you can see if it will be of any use - send me a PM with your requirements ... Cheers
  3. Dan, Good it was merely your PC and not the cross section!!! Good to hear you 'survived' the move!!! Look forward to your updates ... Cheers
  4. Beautiful job on those masters Fam. Love to see the result ... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Cheers
  5. What's left to write Igor ... another vintage bottled ... jet again a marvelous result ... you keep on amazing us with these tiny pieces of art Cheers
  6. The only rigging problem I currently see is the rigging taped to the outside of the bottle ... I'm certain you'll figure the problem out and solve it in the wink of an eye !!! Cheers
  7. Just a few more careful pulls or tuggs ... the suspense is killing me, my friend ... Cheers
  8. Wonderful work Ed ... I hope to be able to do a tenth of what you accomplish some time in the future ... I've been enjoying your build tremendously ... Something different than boats and belaying pins ... might I suggest blocks, and deadeyes ... (just pulling the proverbial legg) you'll find a distraction Cheers
  9. Nigel, I'm glad you didn't get ink all over your build ... that would be rather a nuisance ... maybe time for a second hand laserprinter ... I do like the looks of what you've been doing (even with stained hands) Cheers
  10. Sorry to hear about the bad spell. Glad to hear you are still finding time to improve on the items forr your build. You're in my thoughts Cheers
  11. First you go on a holiday ... probablay much deserved ... and keep us waiting for the grand finale ... and now you stop after having pored some sea water in a bottle ... Looking fantastic Igor, nice to have you back!!! Cheers
  12. had to catch up with your build, Jack ... you've been making some nice progress ... like the Japanese WW II aircraft carrier ... will be hard to get that one on board ;-) ...curious as to your findings on the HMS Guadeloupe drawings ... Cheers
  13. Looking marvelous, Fam .. that's some great looking carving ... very, very good!!! Cheers
  14. Nils, Sorry to hear about the neck, and attachements ... it is one thing we may expect ... the modellers RSI ... hope it isn't to serious and you can continue as before ... Great build, I've been enjoying it tremendously, such skill, and prowess ... Cheers
  15. Great work Chuck. The only thing I would have expected, were slides instead of carriages for those caronades ... Cheers
  16. Another Tool Addict ... didn't know Gremlin's were capable of seduction ... I know Tools muddle with the brain, especially tools you don't have ... they've got that special wavelength ... capable t tune into your brainwaves ... (WiFi like) ... At least you have smething to play with and explore before you'll be using it Have fun with the tool, take care with the working hours ... Cheers
  17. Hope it's not serious, and they will be well soon ... You're quite right taking those admiral's threats serious ... you never know how the yard might be (pad)locked for work ... take your time ... Cheers
  18. They look good, though. Both pictures and rigging .. You might use indirect lighting ... shine you lamps away from the subject on white paper or aluminum foil, a photographer's umbrella, etc ...or use transparent paper to diffuse the light ... which will make the shadows softer if any are left ... Cheers
