Very nice! Good to see you're finally back on track after... What is the count now? One redone paint job, a gunport error and a misguided attempt to amputate a finger? May Murphy leave you alone to finish your build in peace! Andy- 773 replies

Sonuva...... How did I miss that? Crud! Well I should know better so I'll concede to Anja. Andy

Ok...No injuries from yesterday... maybe a few sore muscles... So back to the matter at hand... Proving that I am not a one-trick-pony Andy

Actually... The ST Crapo is another boat entirely.... Andy

Crackers, yes you were on the right track, but I wasn't going to give too much away at the time Andy

*points to his username* Not just an empty boast! Seen her on many occasions during my travels (Most recently at Quebec City last summer). Now I'll have to think of something again. Bear with me as I will be spending tomorrow skiing, so if it's ok with everyone, I'll have something on Friday. Andy

Kruzenshtern. Andy

I'll accept that answer, although in that photo she was already sailing under her latest name J.B. Ford Launched December 1903 and from 1996 to 2001 used for cement storage. The vessel is still in existence in Superior WI. There are mutterings of a preservationist group interested in saving her from the cutting torch. Andy

Beautiful thing... There were literally thousands of them and they were all slightly different Andy

Yeah.... You'd better duck.... And real poutine really does not use "gravy". It's hard to describe really... It's not as thick, and it's got nicer flavour... There's nothing quite like tuckin' in to a big bowl of perfectly fried...fries, tangy sauce and cheese curds that squeak when you chew on 'em. Just remember to wait a bit when you're finished, before trying to move... Andy

So the rivalry begins anew.. Ask and ye shall receive

We better all hope it's only pictures that fall from the sky... Even if it is only on occasion.... Andy

Never let Jan win....... I think I've seen this one before.... Smit Nordzee (or an identical sister) Andy

Actually, for a change things worked out in real life as well as on paper. By mocking up the masts and running my temporary line down from the future shroud locations, everything lined up right. I missed every gun port (some were a very near miss). Next step is to cap off the channels then I'm going to have to buckle down and get those masts shaped, tapered and fitted. Andy

Yay! Thank you! Andy

Not just the prairies, all over the country where there was land that required stone removal. You can still find them here and there, especially among the Menonnite communities who haven't yet given up horse power (litterally). Dafi: A wonderful, humourous little project. Andy

You're all nuts.... (But nice work Sherry.... how much more of that before you opt for something with a bit of electrical assistance?) Andy

Ok... time to clear out the crustacean infestation, and the other rodentiae (sp?) that have come to populate my build... I've finished getting all the deadeyes and chains rigged. In the process of doing so I had to cut and temporarily mount the top and topgallant masts (to get the angles right for the chains). First time I've seen her stretched to her full height. Andy

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... check model railroad suppliers. "O" Scale is 1:48. You may not find exactly what you need, but you may have some luck locating "blanks" you can "surgically" alter to suit your needs. For anyone else browsing this thread: "G" Scale: 1:22.5, 1:29 and 1:32 "O" Scale: 1:48 "S" Scale: 1:64 "OO" Scale: (Varies Slightly between USA And Britain) Most common is 1:76 "HO" Scale: 1:87.1 "TT" Scale: 1:120 (Rare, hard to find) "N" Scale: 1:160 "Z" Scale: 1:220 Scale people are available in all these scales. Some work may be required to make them period appropriate. Mods: is it possible to make a permanent note of that for people who are looking for figures? Andy
