    The non-gilded looks great Chuck - your choice but I would be happy with the raw finish as it looks great against that red. This will be one sweet model boat! cheers Pat

    Oh you have to love those moments Greg i don't know how often I have lost a small part only to find it a couple of days later exactly in the area I had searched and searched. It was a great trip and I enjoyed our catch-up. cheers Pat

    Looking very good Ulisis, those metal castings have come up a treat and fit quite well after you applied some TLC. I hope all goes well with your sister; great to see family looking after each other. regards Pat

    Hi Dave, I have been on a reasonably long road trip and return to find the great progress you have made - looking very good my friend! those masts have come up very nicely and I can see that your joinery and lathe work have improved significantly to be able to get these results. Glad to hear the 21st went well - as you say a happy Captain cheers Pat

    Very nice Sjors; she is looking mighty fine cheers Pat

    Hi Dashi, I am just back from a long road trip (holiday) and find some great detail added to your "Endeavour". You have done a very fine job with those channels which should allow you to properly set up your shrouds. One thing to try and 'future proof' for is the siting of some of the swivel guns in relation to the shrouds. I thought I had it right, and having set up the shrouds with the dead eyes as I had positioned the channels/deadeyes, meant that one or two of the swivel guns had a very narrow arc and sat a little too close to the shrouds (potential heat/fire issue as the barrels warmed). Have you checked the angles WRT the lay of the shroud and the tops of the swivel gun posts? Better to check this now as I left it too late She is looking very good. cheers Pat

    Finally back after the road trip to find the amazing progress you have achieved Greg; she is looking the 'ants pants' with some amazing detail at that scale. Back to the plates under the cable; i would be very surprised if she did not have any. These acted as 'scotchmans' to protect the wood deck, or even thin deck plating, from the chain as it bounced around while being worked. You would be amazed at the damage that can be done from that. cheers Pat

    Very nice Russ; love that sail -it gives the model a great sense of proportion. cheers Pat

    Very nice mini-tutorial on setting up and preparing the blanks for carving Gaetan; look forward to seeing the results of your Autumn carving efforts. cheers Pat

    I have been on the road for a few weeks with limited internet access; but what a great update to comer back to Glenn. She is looking great and that 'mica' sure sets the windows off. Love the detail for the bunks, furniture etc. cheers Pat

    Great work Alan; persistence is paying off and you are achieving some very nice joints. Gives me inspiration for my next build. cheers Pat

    Nice to see you back at the table Denis; very nice work! It can be a real problem finding time when there are sooooo many things to do cheers Pat
  13. BANYAN
    Nice work Dave; she looks like she has just come out of the riggers hands cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Absolutely stunning - great work yet again Glenn. That 'white' sets her off beautifully and the amount of detail shown compared to what you are leaving off is spot on; really gives a good impression of her inner and outer workings. cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Great topic John, this will be a very handy primer. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Nice work Sjors. Getting the detail of those ports right now will assist big-time down the trac. cheers Pat
  17. BANYAN
    I've been on the road Piet so it is a belated congrats for a magnificent effort - that is a great diarama especially at that scale. Take a bow cheers Pat

    Hi Dave, sorry for the disappointing outcome mate as your display looked great. We have the same issues here at a major meet/expo but at last they warn us off and ask us to display as visiting modellers. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Hi Greg, still on the road with little internet cover, but logged in today to fin all this great detail -you have been busy. Your efforts have been worth it, those bits and pieces, and especially the boat look great. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Great work Mark, she is looking good. An interesting observation is that the bigger the pile in the scrapbox, usually the better the quality the build as this gem is showing. cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Nice to see you have more time in the dockyard Russ; those dead eyes have come up very well. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    When Murphy is on holiday I find hat his mate "sod" takes over You have had your fair share of trials and tribulations on this one Greg, Hope you sacked that idiot Good work on the recovery (both) that will have required quite a bit of dexterity an patience to fix the crows nest. She is looking good mate! cheers Pat

    I had the pleasure to see this gem of a model and catch up with Danny recently. The photos do not do this model true justice; the workmanship and detail are superb. It was a great pleasure to meet Danny and put a face to the name; a true gentleman always willing to share his experience! cheers Pat

    Nice job on that netting Steve; looks good. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
