  1. I think the builder has earned the break and; happy wife happy life Looking good Michael. cheers Pat
  2. Coming along nicely. Look forward to seeing this in action. cheers Pat
  3. Thanks for the feedback Pete; I was sure you had that well in hand :). Great trip and the 'surprise' birthday party was a big success cheers Pat
  4. I have been away for a little while and must say it is a joy to see the progress of this very fine model; as usual you have done a superb job on modelling and researching this fine ship. cheers Pat
  5. Very nice work Michael, but we have come to expect that from you That skylight looks like the actual deal, not a model of it. cheers Pat
  6. You've made some great progress in my absence Rob; those masts and their fittings look great. A joy to come back and read this log. cheers Pat
  7. Nice progress Steven; those arcades look good. It appears you have made best use of the grain direction to provide a little strength. cheers Pat
  8. Hi Pete, you've made some progress since I saw your diorama. I like the engineering you are using and assume the light beam (optical switch) is a better option than a limit switch at each end? Folks, having seen this diorama I can say that the actual construction looks even better to the eye than the photos show; a testament to Pete's artistic abilities. cheers Pat
  9. Hi Doug, that is unusual indeed. I can't help with the diagonal knees but there is some discussion about iron knees in James Peake - Rudiments of Naval Architecture_1851 (see plates 6 and 7 amongst others) which discusses the iron fittings used in hull construction. This is available as a pdf online. cheers Pat
  10. Looks good UV, like the way the way the truks (top bits) turned out Cheers Pat
  11. That is looking great Michael; and agree with Druxey, the joinery is very good. cheers Pat
  12. Thanks OC, things have slowed a little lately while I do more research and produce some parts (and a road trip of 10 days departing Monday coming) Hope to do some work on my Vampire on return also. cheers
  13. Nice 'bodging' Rob, looks functional and appropriate at the scale you are working cheers Pat
  14. Great idea Rob; I look forward to seeing how these turn out. cheers Pat
  15. I always enjoy seeing updates to your build; the work is exceptionally good. cheers Pat
  16. Thanks Tecko; appreciate you looking in and commenting. cheers Pat
  17. Even with the 'tails' to be docked you can see the quality of the rigging and fittings ED; really like those spider bands. cheers Pat
  18. Thanks for looking Joss. WRT footropes, I soaked mine in diluted PVA and shaped them as they dried; might be worth a try? cheers Pat
  19. You did a very fine restoration on that model Michael and I am sure it will always be a great memory. That workshop look great with plenty of natural light. cheers Pat
  20. Quite the production run GL; look forward to the hull coming together. cheers Pat
