  1. Hi Mindi, Dashi's build log has a good discussion about it. cheers Pat
  2. Ditto above comments mate, I am enjoying following this build and associated research cheers Pat
  3. Looking a real treat for the eyes Denis; great work bashing this build. cheers Pat
  4. Nice progress Mindi, and welcome back to the Endeavour fold Those boats look great and you have now encouraged me to add the masts and sails to at least a couple of mine (I still have the Yawl and Skiff to do) cheers Pat
  5. Some how I missed this Eberhard; extraordinary work! I am impressed with that micro-machining. Don't want to knock up a set of those cable stoppers etc in 1/72 scale huh? cheers Pat
  6. Hope you enjoyed the holiday mate; welcome back. cheers Pat
  7. Some stunning detail there Greg; the rails look really good cheers Pat
  8. Nice work Mark; sounds like you need a thicknesser cheers Pat
  9. Thanks for the further comments Druxey and JB; much appreciated. At this point I think I will go with 2 x spare top masts (shaped but not drilled/mortised for sheaves) and a couple of spars (tapered). However, as she was deployed on a long, unsupported voyage i think I may add a couple of round (not shaped) poles also. cheers Pat
  10. Thanks for the feedback Allan and Wayne, much appreciated. Your thoughts/comments align with my research to date; hence my thoughts that perhaps a more generic set of poles may have been carried that could be adapted to meet the need. Allan, I will take a look at that model and some other contemporary models held by the NMM to see if there is some consistency. I know a lot of the more modern (later built) models, and the AOTS etc show shaped spars and masts but is this interpretation or based on fact? cheers Pat
  11. Thank's Duff, do you have a Reference or anything you can point me to? I have Marquardt (AOTS) but wonder what this is based on? What you say makes a lot of sense but I was wondering if for these longer the same practice was applicable? The shaped spares (which to carry) would have been set by the current 'establishment' and would have been determined from experience of ships over many years based on 'wear and tare', storm damage and battle damage etc. I am just exploring whether a slightly adapted allotment of spare spars may have been issued for these sorts of exploration expeditions? Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Pat
  12. Hi all, Now that I am approaching the end of my Endeavour (circa 1770) build and adding some of the 'detail' I am questioning the shape and length of the spare spars that would have been carried. As these were spares for multiple tasks I think these may not have been shaped (tapered) but rather carried as rounded blanks? can anyone shed any light on this topic please? cheers Pat
  13. Another congrats Druxey; I am sure it will sell well - I have earmarked as a Cristmas present cheers Pat
  14. Looking good Mike, very neat rigging. cheers Pat
  15. Well that the 'ants pants' mate; looks good - ...........and a bel;ated happy birthday. cheers Pat
  16. Looks good and solid Denis, should work a treat. next time you have to do this try using an alligator clip between the previous (soldered) and new joint as a heat sink - it can be kept out of the way and should wick excess heat before it destroys the previous joint. may be worth a try at least cheers Pat
  17. Great result from your persistence and efforts Greg; the aerials look great (and those designers can stay in their special room ) What did you use to make the spreaders in the end? cheers Pat
  18. Is this a model? Looks like the real thing - superb work Karl! cheers Pat
  19. Slow and steady will get you there Sjors - just look at my 12 years+ for my Endeavour. Nice work BTW cheers Pat
  20. Amen Gunther; so would I. That was some fine artisan examples of workmanship and skill. cheers Pat
  21. Looking good Denis. Better not let the boss read this - you may go hungry for awihle cheers Pat
  22. The detailing is looking superb Greg; a very fine addition to your miniature fleet. cheers Pat
  23. Nice work and many thanks for passing on your experience Nils. This process will come in very handy for my next build. cheers Pat
