Don't worry Sjors, we all fully understand. I hope we haven't crossed a line somewhere, it's all meant in good fun. Take all the time you need. Just remember that when I'm at work, I can't to a d*** thing for months... and well.. you can imagine how that feels. (I'd insert Mr Wacko smiley.... but I don't have one...) Andy -
Sorry Sarah, not her. Jan, as long as I keep seeing guesses I know I haven't broken the game. I know I had to double chack a couple of times, just in case, they are very similar ships. Andy
-
Sorry.. no correct guesses yet... and the photo is in Canadian waters.... yeah.. the St. Lawrence can get pretty hazy in the summer. Jan.. if you look, closely, you'll notice the mystery ship does not have paired cranes... and the topping lift is hydraulic, not cabled. Andy

Next kit suggestion???? moved by moderator
realworkingsailor replied to Rich_engr's topic in Wood ship model kits
Why not the Confederacy? Same scale, but a slightly larger (just a bit ).... The Fly/Pegasus and Syren kits are also very well done, maybe also look at some of Caldercraft's brigs... Andy -
Absolutly fantastic rigging work. Although I'm a bit cross eyed trying to follow along... I think I need to go buy a few books on the subject before I do anything foolish on my Pegasus.... don't want to end up mummified in rigging line... (as we are predicting our good friend Sjors may become... ) Andy

Very nice, tidy work you've done up to now. I can't wait to see more, keep it up Andy

Sweet, love the colour of the wood. Looks brilliant. Andy

OK..... this is a good one.... (I hope)... and it's not a laker... She made international headlines a few years ago... Andy
-
Um... Mathew, replica Andy

St George got it! Whew.... didn't break the game... Build in Collingwood Ontario in 1948. Towed to Industrial Marine Salvage, Port Colborne, ON October 2012 Andy
-
Very nice, she's coming along well. Can't wait to see the start of your second planking... Andy
-
One thing at a time... Go do a Syren build.... you could probably get a bit of practice with the castings that are included in the kit.. enough to learn on, but not so much that you'd be overwhelmed. And from what I've seen, they're fairly good quality castings, so even if you're not happy with your first attempts, you'll still have a sharp looking build. BTW, I'm pretty sure you can get some fine carving burrs from Lee-Valley tools... Andy
-
Heh heh heh Just checkin'... hadn't seen a guess in over 24 hours... Andy
-
I imagine one can do pretty well with a Dremel and the flexible extension. It would be the "poor man's" version... but the carving technique would be the same. Andy
-
Yay! Pictures... and lots of odd fiddly bits... even better I bet the anchors might be stowed below... so they don't get lost Radar domes are more like oversized cakes, rather than mushrooms... that's typically for communications (sat phones and whatnot...) GPS antennae are quite small and then can be mushroom shaped.. or sometimes like a popsicle... Andy

Don't tell me I broke the game? (again......)

I think you'll do well with the Syren. You've done a great job for a first build on the SF. Just imagine how much better you'll be when you've got two under your belt. Then you could really go to town on something like the RW or Mordaunt. As many people have noticed, there's a lot of room to upgrade Euromodels kits with scratch build extras. Maybe you'll pull a "Bill Short" and re-carve all the decorations Andy
-
Just be happy he's not doing to your teeth what he's doing to the boxwood... Bill, as others have said, simply amazing. I'm very glad you're taking the time to repost your log. I can't remember where you had left off before "The Big One" so some of this seems new to me.. Andy
-
She looks really sweet Peter, I've always liked the flat-bottom boats. And your colour scheme is great! Andy
-
There's a whole other ship in the background.... you can ignore that one Andy
-
I dunno there has to be some sort of co-relative algorithm that links time vs knots and probability, keep in mind.. he's got another monster waiting, so the likelyhood of an episode will increase with every knot tied, length of time it takes to tie one knot, number of shrouds, the number of knots that come undone...... and... oh I just gave myself a headache... Anyway.. Mobbise you better be ready to take in refugees.. there might be a lot of them... Andy
-
Yeah.. I forgot... you sub jockeys see the world as one big shooting gallery.... Andy

I think we need to start a countdown clock here... Estimate the time to remaining before Sjors gets totally driven nuts by ratlines... although at the moment he seems to be evading the task at hand ANdy
