Well you certainly know how to make a 're'entry Keith, stunning work as usual. cheers Pat -
That pump looks great Eberhard, although translucent there is enough detail visible to show the craftsmanship that went into making it. cheers Pat
-
Great to see you back Keith, I have been missing your build. Sorry to hear of the trials and tribulations with your renovation mate; seems insurance appointed builder same the same world wide - the cheapest builder they can find who then tries to 'screw us out of every dollar they can'. Mine had the hide to inform me that he had bought a large fishing boat from his profits and then had buy a large 'white rock'; for the missus to compensate. cheers Pat
-
Great result Eberhard, this build is certainly introducing us to some new, and dare say unique, construction methods/techniques. cheers Pat
-
And... we're off and running. Looking forward to your log as you progress this unusuall PS Keith cheers Pat
-
Been there having experienced the same issue Dave. Thankfully it has abated now; good luck with defeating the problem. cheers Pat
-
A great result, and excellent work on this SIB model Glen, my first thought was 'Oh my singed whiskers' - that would have been 'warm work' in the bow. Can't wait to see what idea you generate for your next extravaganza. cheers Pat

Ditto, some great detail in such a small model. cheers Pat
-
A quirky but interesting vessel indeed Keith; should make into a very interesting model. If it is an opening, it could be simply be a vent (covered with some form of grill/netting) for a direct drive engine mounted between the paddles within that box extension? cheers Pat
-
That is stunning work Ilhan. Very precise joinery and metal smithing at that scale. cheers Pat
-
Well that's a relief Glen, I can ease off on the 'pucker' factor' now Great job and excellent description on how to get the job done, football distractions aside. lets hope some of those reflections still show once yopu add the waves etc. cheers Pat

In my proposal for a 'cool safe' I mentioned seeing these on some Murray River (Victoria/NSW, Australia) paddle steamers. Here are two photos of PS Adelaide I took some years back with a cool safe on the roof of her fore cabin structure. I also found one on the 'net' in a BLOG about Murray River paddle steamers (but failed to not the blog - sorry), and a close-up of a cool safe that was advertised on a local auction site. I hope these are useful Keith. As I mentioned in a PM to Keith, I have seen these in a more ovalised/rounded shape also but cannot find a photo. One 'fly in the ointment' though, note the shape and colour of the navigation light pole on the wheelhouse roof. Maybe a potential candidate also (although a little smaller and less symmetrical in shape than you show). cheers Pat
-
Thanks again, I will take note of that as it is a skill I still wish to acquire (I simply draw up my requirement and someone else does my PE - It will be useful to do myself if needed in the future.) cheers Pat
-
I have assumed the appropriate level of 'pucker factor' and eagerly awaiting the outcome of your intrepid operation Glen. perhaps a good dose of the naval rum (medicinal of course) would help steady the hands? cheers Pat

Stunning work Ilhan, how did you cut those brass rings so neatly - scribing? cheers Pat
-
Keith, the mystery object on the wheelhouse roof ma (or may not) be a 'cool safe' for storing vegetables and sometimes meat? I know that some of our Murray River paddle driven boats/ships had them there. I'll have a quick look to see if I can find my source again (but please don't hold your breath while waiting - may not be able to find it again). cheers Pat
-
Looks great Glen. Might I suggest a couple of dangling lines and blocks as a result of parted rigging due to all those canon ball holes through the sails? Sorry mor work, and may interfere with your lifting mechanism when in the bottle - just a suggestion. cheers Pat

Couldn't agree more mate. A well made 'solid' machine instead some of these mostly plastic offerings like 'choppers', some bench saws and the like just don't feel right. cheers Pat
-
Every time you post these wonderful machines you have created you give me a severe case of 'tool envy' Eberhard. Nice work on both. cheers Pat
-
Glen, looks good and the grate certainly gives the right impression. @Keith Black where do you find those pics - love it. If you can, can then ...

A tip-of-the-hat to you Rob, that looks great! cheers Pat

A tribute to your patience and 'left-of-field' solutions Glen, quite the outcome you have achieved. cheers Pat

That's looking pretty good Dave, you should end up with a very neat and precise outer planking. cheers Pat
