  1. Great to hear you enjoyed your vacation Rob, and see you back in the shipyard. cheers Pat
  2. That is some extremely well made metalwork Ilhan, your 'smithing' is top notch. cheers Pat
  3. Enjoy the holiday John. You've done a great job with the restoration. So many people will now see her (if not yet complete) in a whole new light but not understand/know the hours of effort put into her. cheers Pat
  4. Those garboard planks went in well Dave, have any problems with them? The 3D armament looks good. I gather you have painted them, what colour/brand did you use? Some great progress mate. I ventured into my shed for the first time in months yesterday. Hoping to make a restart (yet again) this week. cheers Pat
  5. Wow, love that figurine and the uniqueness of the overall design for your stand Rob. Looks great! cheers Pat
  6. From what you describe, I think your choice of option 1 is best also. In the end though it is your choice Richard. Is this just for aesthetics or to waterproof them? If the latter, I think you ample coats to do that. cheers Pat
  7. Nice work Rob, those channels with the chainplates etc look great. cheers Pat
  8. Thanks Dave, I have a copy (paperback)m of the Sirius Past and Present, and a coffee table book of the First Fleet (the reenactment). Thanks for the feedback; I think only one of those would be useful then (if both are similar in content). I will. go with your advice re Alan Frost. I have a few books on the Investigator and Mather Flinders, as I have great interest in the early cartographers/explorers. The best of these I think is a large format hardcover written by Geoffry Ingleton. cheers Pat
  9. coming on really well Dave, that is some pretty neat planking for a first layer. Interesting reference material also; I may need to have a look at one or two of those also. Which would you recommend as the better (all round) of the two 'First Fleet' books? cheers Pat
  10. That 'acorn' is probably a ring bolt for the chain stays; certainly that is what they are in the 'Victoria' - the davits look very, very similar. I have been trying to adapt some soft metal ones with no luck. Are these resin prints? cheers Pat
  11. Wow Glen, another finely presented SIB. Great final photos BTW mate. Looking forward to your next build. cheers Pat
  12. An interesting range of historical content there Richard, particular WRT your build. cheers Pat
  13. Wow that is some production line you have going Richard. A very consistent and high quality output; those jigs certainly worked out. cheers Pat
  14. Great to see the planking going on Dave, she will be afloat before you know it. Hopefully you may see some progress in my shipyard soon. cheers Pat
  15. An interesting question Richard; I too would be interested in knowing. Perhaps a question to jewelry supplier? cheers Pat
  16. The second one (rock) for me also Glen. You can always say the rock is from Japan Seriously, I think the rock is more in keeping with a nautical theme. cheers Pat
  17. Wow Rob, you really motoring (or should I say rollicking) along. Looking great. cheers Pat
  18. Sorry to hear of the kidney stones - been there and know how much they can knock you about. Nice progress on the model. Cheers Pat
  19. Now that is one unusual and interesting display base Glen. Kudos mate, it looks great. I am sure those pesky penguins would also agree (that is if you have managed to keep them away from the Bundy supply ;)) cheers Pat
