I think Rob has stated that very well - the style and tone of your books, and the quality of your build logs help us less capable modellers learn to do exactly that - even if there is an occasional typo :). cheers Pat- 3,618 replies

Hi John, is there sufficient height in the coal bunker for an overhead 'spout' or shute like the swinging arm spout you see on the water tanks used to feed water to locomotives? This would have allowed the coal to be spread over a much wider area? In some recent reading, I noted comments that coal was usually separated into areas by mangers or cofferdams to form hoppers (bins). This allowed the coal to be moved about for managing the list among other things, and if there was a problem (e.g. a coal fire) to be able to isolate it. Coaling in the Victoria was via 4 scuttles, and the ash raised to the upper deck via two dedicated cranes for discharge overboard via two ash shutes. I don't know if any of this will be of much relevance to your build but may offer some food for thought? cheers Pat

All nice detail and should look great on the model on the model Greg; slow but good progress. cheers Pat
-
That looks great Dave; good to see you back in the shipyard - Happy New Year! cheers Pat

She is rapidly taking shape Danny. You must be able to see the finish line now? Looks great! cheers Pat
-
Another rapid build Denis, if you go any faster you'll set fire to the thing! Looking good with the bulwark in place. cheers Pat

Perhaps we need to lend you some of these guys then; sorry we munch on them occasionally also Sorry to clutter your log, ditch as necessary. cheers Pat

Really taking shape now Danny, nice work with plenty of detail. Appreciate you showing your PE techniques for therails, that will come in handy for a future build (later this year). cheers Pat

A good base for the second layer or paint Denis cheers Pat

That is a great idea Keith, I have heard of modellers leaving such a note inside the hull - an 'easter egg' of sorts. Be sure to seal the paper and ink to ensure it is preserved as I think this model warrants such a 'provenance'. cheers Pat

Very nice machining Eberhard, shows what can be done with a bit of skill and knowhow. I love those vises and holding jigs you have manufactured (no, make that I am jealous :)) Enjoy that steak. cheers Pat

Tedious but necessary Ed, I am sure the effort will be reflected in the quality of your rigging. cheers Pat

Hi Keith, I have now perused through your build and what a sensational job you have done. I love the details (some you won't even see) such as the charts etc in the drawer but I think my particular astonishment lies in the quality of your metalsmithing. I will need to have an even closer read to breakout some of your techniques as the detail you achieve is amazing. regards Pat

The case looks good Mike. One word of caution WRT the masking tape 'until the very end' - I did that and some of it dried out making it very difficult to remove. i used acrylic (perspex) rather than glass so had a couple of small marks I had to polish out. You just need to keep an eye on it and replace as necessary. cheers Pat

Amazing - that rowing action looks very good and even propels at a realistic pace - a well synchronised crew cheers Pat

Nice progress Greg, he is looking great with it nice new coat of paint Thanks for your kind words, but I think I will turn to you for airbrush advice now you are way ahead of me in technique these days. cheers Pat

Nice progress Denis; more incentive to unseat the "T" Hope you guys escaped the worst of the weather? cheers Pat

Hi Ben, looks good, even before your latest adjustment to the arm. What about something like sculpey which can be shaped/moulded then oven baked to a hard finish? cheers Pat
-
Any progress is good progress mark, she is looking good. The final test is what YOU want it to look like; if you are happy then make all the shortcuts you like! cheers and Happy New Year Pat

Hi Greg, the aluminium is welded to the frames as 'Plates', what each section would be called (between frames /ribs) I am not too sure mate - I used to call them panels but whether that is technically correct? I will need to ask an engineering (ex Navy) mate of mine to be sure. cheers Pat
-
Looking very good Jason, very neat detail and pleasant to the eye. cheers Pat
-
Great job with those panels Greg. To the eye (in your photos) they looks very lifelike. cheers Pat
