    Thanks for the feedback Keith, I had been wondering why the gratings were there also, probably serving more as 'duckboards'? I have decided, based on costs and type of type of work I need to do in the future, to purchase a few more Sherline WW collets (to widen my range of collets) rather than go the ER32 route. Anything greater than 8mm can be chucked, and taking your advice I will invest in a better dial indicator for centring in my 3 and 4 jaw chucks. It was a close run thing between purchasing the additional (I think much overpriced Sherline WW collets) and buying a new ER32 Chuck and full set of collets - time will tell I followed your technique with making the eyebolts with great interest and have tucked that aside for future use . I am busy finishing the broadside guns etc at the moment and will post an update soon. cheers Pat

    An interesting problem (WRT the gratings) Keith; I'm sure no one is going to mic the 'openings' and who is to say they were made exactly to size anyway? Are these built in gratings or lift-out panels made the traditional way? At first glance I thought the cap rail formed part of the platform structure but I then noticed the photos shows they are under the rail hence having to do them first. regards Pat

    Nice 'toy' and very acceptable results Eberhard. Quite an interesting concept for producing very small wood partss. cheers Pat

    Very nice detail in the painting Steven, if it holds up that well under macro/close photography then it would great to the naked eye. cheers Pat

    Tedious but will pay dividends to the final look Ben - nice work on the planking. cheers Pat

    They must have carried a lot of 'Brasso' on board Very nice work Keith, those strut supports look very good, as does the masses of other metalwork you're creating. cheers Pat

    Nice concept Mark; I like the bread n' butter approach and shows the benefits of having a laser cutter. cheers Pat

    Very nice painting detail Steven; and welcome to the 'shaky hands' club cheers Pat

    Dr PR, you may be referencing 'chocks'? Also, I am wondering if it may be a misprin=t and actually referring to 'gun spikes' used to help train the gun? cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Looks good Dan and thanks for the feedback and tips. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Could she have carried a small boat up there? or perhaps a painters plank? However, these maybe out of character with the rest of the vessel and the 'patch up a more palatable solution. cheers Pat

    I had the pleasure of seeing this model first-hand last night and the detail is exquisite! Looks even better than the high quality shown in the photographs. Cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    I get an education from simply following your posts Eberhard. Many thanks Cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Great progress Steven, eagerly waiting to see the finished paint work . cheers Pat

    All that brass work, must have kept the crew busy with the "Brasso" Nice work as usual Keith, look forward to seeing the holes all filled. cheers Pat
