Veeery niiiice! cheers Pat -
Taking the time to fair the hull properly results in a much better model Bruce; we can all wait while you get this done. cheers Pat

Here's an example of one of these oiled canvas mats. This was in a heritage house (Runnymeade) we visited in Hobart, Tasmania. I was pretty impressed with the overall quality. Youy can see the wear and tare Wefalck refers to on the edges where the mat is more prone t foot traffic etc. cheers Pat

Bob, thanks for posting that image - one learns every day. cheers Pat

Looking forward to seeing this little project progress Eberhard, especially the way you tackle them - I have some small boats to do soon also, so I hope you don't mind me poaching your techniques cheers Pat

Hi, I am not a yellow-wellie sailor (as in yachting) but from the imagery I have seen, the gaffs were in the lowered position and parallel with the boom; trysail gaffs (depends on what you are calling a trysail, as I have found there are many interpretation from small triangular storm sails to smaller replacement sails the same shape as the fore-and-aft sails) were only set-up when the sail was rigged (if the former interpretation). cheers Pat

Ultimation Model Slicer Anyone?
BANYAN replied to Bill Jackson's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Also an 'unnecessary' tool for me. These types of cutters use a 'V' profile cut (even when sharp) due to the razor blade cutting edge, leaving an oblique end profile that needs squaring for a good fit. I got rid of mine a long ago and simply hand or power saw cut 'fat' of the line, then touch up with my disc sander to the line. cheers Pat -
Rob, some clippers had two spiderbands (for belaying pins) at their base; perhaps an option? cheers Pat

The plaudits offered by other builders are well deserved Keith, let me add to the list of appreciative followers. This is a very high-quality model of an interesting subject - it has made for many hours of pleasant reading/viewing. cheers Pat

Rob, your model of GoS is looking great, and a pleasure to follow the updates. I have just noticed though, that you have used chain for the boat gripes; I am assuming this is as per research you have conducted. As the chain will have been pretty hard on the boat planking surfaces, and planks themselves, it may have been used in combination with wooden pad pieces to keep the chains off the planking, and/or leather (or other) Scotchmen (anti-chafing mats/pieces)? I admit not looking back through the log, so I apologise if I have raised something you have already discussed? For the purposes of modelling, however, what you present serves the purposes of how and what was used. Only raised as FYI. cheers Pat

Love those deadeyes and offer congratulations on your resolving a better way of making them. I think Greg (dvm) says it all in his post. cheers Pat -
What a delightful update to come home to Glen; I go away for a few days and then see this. That is an outstanding presentation of a great build; impressive - you have set a high standard for your next build. I have really enjoyed following this build mate. cheers Pat

Very nice work Keith (as usual). I am very impressed with the leather (like) covers/wraps to the splices etc - looks very realistic. cheers Pat

Looks like you're having an absolute horrid time Rob ;); only thing missing was a 'mai tai' - Enjoy cheers Pat
