  1. You will have the characteristics for each genus and varying thicknesses all sorted by the end of this build Mark - looking good. cheers Pat
  2. That winch is looking terrific mate, it will look great in-situ cheers Pat
  3. Mark if you can live with it all is good. The day I stop learning is the day they bury me Even on repetitive cuts using a stopper etc I seem to have minor error creep in so I don't think it ever stops. cheers Pat
  4. 6 young modellers to supervise in the shop Congrats again Denis cheers Pat
  5. Busy little bee then Sjors? and a 'honey' of a result (sorry couldn't help myself cheers Pat
  6. Thanks for looking in and commenting Greg and Don - rapidly approaching that point Greg But, I do need to add the rope coils and two further rigging lines as a minimum - and as I have ordered the Ensign, at least that also. The other two boats - I am debating these cheers Pat
  7. Thanks for all the likes and comments guys - much appreciated. c.a. - yep, that is a copy of the original chart of the East Coast of Australia as charted by Cook on his voyage of discovery. Denis - thanks for noticing the blocks etc John - welcome back - i was wondering where you had gone as hadn't seen a post for a while (was about to PM you ) Keith, Russ and Dave - thanks for looking in and the encouraging comments (see you at the next meeting Keith?) cheers Pat
  8. That's a really nice model Dave; great work (and well worth enjoying ) cheers Pat
  9. Even from these preliminary stages, it looks like this will be another finely detailed model Greg. cheers Pat
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Looks good Greg, those sponson supports have a lot of detail for such small items. cheers Pat
  14. That worked quite nicely OC - looking good (even with the glasses on ) cheers Pat
  15. That is one very detailed kit Greg; how frustrating it must be to drill and assemble all those individual stanchions. cheers Pat
  16. That is an interesting winch concept and will make some very nice detail. cheers Pat
  17. 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
  18. Nice progress Mark - better do it mate - no arguing with she whom must be obeyed cheers Pat
  19. 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
