Happy birthday youngster. Hope you've had a wounderfull day with family and friends -
I remembered Yves build, and looked it up. The knees start at post 3 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topicgo /183-emma-c-berry-by-yvesvidal-132-model-shipways/#entry1352 You can see how the knees are mounted and the beams surrounding it and the beam supported by the knees ...
-
Wayne, In a way lucky they are mounted like this and not vertically. Those knees are between two beams which actually span the breadth of three beams. It means you will need to get a few beams out ... You can then mount the knees and remount the remaining beams, for those knees support the beam in the middle.. It's not a small operation but doable ... If you plan to lay the entire deck, you might leave the knees out, but you will not be building conform specs ...

With a little help from your friends ... Beatles if I recall well

So it won't be a shinding ... no use for me to pop over ... And I thought you have a fair maiden , don't let Gwen hear you mate You encounter the same problems with your 'tray', as I with the model cannon's carriage ... up to layer four currently

Your job really is a major intrusion upon your 'home work' It keeps us in high anticipation though ... I didn't mean 'Bob the builder' plastic hammers e.a. do not build a boats ... crativity and perseverance do ... as does Cap'n Bob the shipyard owner!!!

Hmmm, take care of yourself Sam!!! I remember myself funding the Dutch government ,,, but it deteriorates your health ... tremendously. Back to basics: The Enterprise. Looking good mate. I like your attitude towards pieces which do not meet your standards, even if it means a 're-do'. Hope to give you some more support! Missed your presence atn MSW!
-
You'll be snacking away, according to Mark. You've got me inspired to put something like wise together!
-
So, mate ... what's next ... Bob may be thinking 'bout the end, but I knows it won't be ... that's to say ... you gettin' pretty transparent ...

Piet!!! I didn't know (for people less familliar with the Amercan colloquial, like me self): Shinding A small party, not quite full scale. Generally a shindig consists of 5-20 people hanging out at the host's house, but they may be held at other locations such as a beach. Shindigs almost always involve alcoholic beverages, usually beer. Often, marijuana is smoked as well. :o

MArvelous job Bob. I especially like the viw on the interior

Piet, Try a carpenter, I got my stain for the Dolphin from one ... I'll have to check later on, but I seem to remember there are some alcohol based stains too ... don't know if they stain one's insides aswell ...
-
Kees, No matter what others say, I like it any way you want to build her. WIth, without ... I like to follow your build and see what you come up with and be asthonished by the versatillity of the material you use, and your craftmanship. Keep on going

Michael, I recall on my mini the valve had a valve seat, a ring in the engine head, maybe an option to insert a hardend metal ring ... just a thought I also use double valve springs ... but then ... it was an engine to be run at high rpm's
-
Lucky me, a mini only had 8 valves, and these are far, far larger ...
-
Mark you beat me to it, it looks like a hughe sucker!!! Those last details do make it look like a working vessel Kees. Very nice finish on that mast and spraydeck. Functional improvements do not need to be beautiful, they should be practical, as shown
