  1. Even from these preliminary stages, it looks like this will be another finely detailed model Greg. cheers Pat
  2. Slowly coming together - these are the latest progress photos. Apart from 2 bunt lines to do on the foremast topsail yard, I have many (NO - very many) coils to make up and place, add the Ensign (waiting for it to arrive), finish the spare yards, 2 x mast tackles (showing them in use), add some boat details (oars etc), make the skiff and yawl and lastly - enjoy cheers Pat
  3. Very nice clean work Mark; that mill jig looks quite useful for several purposes other than profiling also. The waterways look good in-situ and the careful marking out and the plank profiles will add a lot of very nice detail. cheers Pat
  4. Hi Greg, have edited my post to remove the ref completely Sorry mate, rereading I hope you didn't think I was preaching terminology re "sponsons" - it wasn't intentional and simply automatic for me to use this terminology with my background. cheers Pat
  5. Looks good Greg, those sponson supports have a lot of detail for such small items. cheers Pat
  6. That worked quite nicely OC - looking good (even with the glasses on ) cheers Pat
  7. That is one very detailed kit Greg; how frustrating it must be to drill and assemble all those individual stanchions. cheers Pat
  8. That is an interesting winch concept and will make some very nice detail. cheers Pat
  9. Just took a flit through your build OC and the level of detail you are adding is impressive - very nice model developing here. cheers Pat
  10. Nice progress Mark - better do it mate - no arguing with she whom must be obeyed cheers Pat
  11. Great to hear you are in good spirits and recovering - stretch those "fuss" days out as much as you can mate; doesn't happen too often cheers Pat
  12. Some seriously nice PE detail there Greg; wonder you didn't go cross-eyed doing those porthole deadlights though cheers Pat
  13. What would modelling be without these mishaps Sjors? As long as you see the positive side of it, it becomes a learning experience Great that Deagostini have supported their product like this. cheers Pat
  14. Made my day, great joinery and workmanship as usual Alex cheers Pat
  15. Stunning! what else can you say - you are a very talented modeller Karl. cheers Pat
  16. Good luck Rowan - have had surgery on C3, 4 and 5 for similar issues - all good now, so hang in there mate - yopu'll be back finishing her before you know it. cheers Pat
  17. The beauty of the internet and the great collective experience we have on this site - thanks for the explanation Gerard (we learn things every day) and thanks Big Mac for raising the sugject. cheers Pat
  18. What a gem Denis - looking great! Those little details add so much to a build. cheers Pat
  19. Could they simply be a large counterweight (cantilever)? The last image is not that clear but appears to have only a tackle on the opposed side? the weight would then assist in the working of the yard???? Only conjecture offered for further discussion. Cheers Pat
  20. Dave, as I have just learned and from experience; wherever possible only dry fit (especially if using locator pins to support fittings) some of the deck furniture/fittings (such as the pumps etc) that are close to the bitts / pin rails etc to allow more room for belaying lines to the pins in particular - otherwise it gets too fiddly and you risk damage. Those items can be fitted/glued later as most of the affected ones can be added later, especially if you have used locator pins. cheers Pat
  21. Keep smiling and you'll get there Mark - the deck is coming on well. And... yes why clean up twice. Good luck with copying the deck planking plan; that wilol certainly save you a lot of time. cheers Pat
  22. Stunning workmanship as usual; and it will make a very useful addition to your tool set. cheers Pat
