  1. Many here are trusting that your recovery is going well. There is an old saying: “Trust . . . and verify” Can you provide some “verification” Mary? Best Regards, Mike
  2. Until this latest group of photos, I didn't realize this is a "scratch" build project. All the more impressive. Mike
  3. Such a neat looking old ship. Nice work. I always enjoy watching builders with this one. Mike
  4. Enjoying the photos showing the work with your Carrack. I wish I could provide some tips for the sails, but I lack such experience. Will be watching to see how you solve the problem. Mike
  5. Hello Bryan. Excellent photos and good news. Now that we know both, what is going on inside (Nave Egizia) and what is going on outside (air conditioning) of the Mossy Shipyard. I see no reason to be any less envious than I was last time I read an update. And with all those shade trees keeping your cooling bills low, and with your wife cheering you on from the far inside corner of the shipyard, you should have enough money and motivation to not only finish the Nave Egizia, but to leap forthrightly and enthusiastically into the next project. Godspeed. Mike
  6. That' good news Mary. Perhaps a little activity (not too much) will help with recovery. I am curious: Was the knee problem on the same side at the hip surgery?
  7. Good photos of excellent work Chris. I have always admired the red color of that type of aircraft. Really sets it apart. Mike
  8. Outstanding work with your Fuso. In an attempt to get an answer to your question about anti-slip mats, my search of the internet came up empty. However, if I may offer an opinion: Japanese WWII battleships did not likely use modern-style rubber anti-slip mats as we understand them today in the superstructure. However, they probably employed various materials and methods to address the issue of footing. Mike
  9. It is a beautiful collaboration between yourself and Emiel. I am a fan of his “Renaissance” style. My compliments to both of you. Mike
  10. Just ran across this. What a pleasure reading through your thread about building your dedicated shipyard. I can imagine how many of us would love to be able to create something like this dedicated to our hobby, if only we had the money, space and/or time. Watching you do this is inspiring. Are you sure there will be enough room in there for both you and your wife? Better keep your elbows down. Really looks great in that last photo, with the wheel on the front. It has a bit of a “western saloon” look about it. A gravel path from the front door to the house might help keep mud out when things get wet. Great work. Mike
  11. Looking forward to Emiel working his magic with this one. Mike
  12. It required lots cutting, but all of those "arched" openings give it great character. Nice work. Mike
  13. Man O Man. That is quite a change in appearance since the previous photos. Now it's an Ab Hoving ship. Looking forward to your photographer doing his work with this. Mike
  14. It is always fun to “speculate” about old photos. Several observations: The woman and the man to her right are formally dressed, so I assume they are together with the car. The other two figures back further may be workers on the boat. The photographer did not catch them unaware. They are all looking at the camera. Finally, this photo gives the impression that this is a ferry, rather than a supply boat. Looks like the car is ready to disembark. Mike
  15. QUOTE: “In my analysis of the painting, it has become increasingly clear that while the depiction appears to be perspectively correct, it is not. The optical foreshortening and the vanishing point perspective, as well as the perspective of the bow and the stern, cannot be reconciled.” ALVB Hello ALVB, To me, it is fun to see this attempt to create the carrack in this painting, despite the fact that the image in the painting does not have the correct perspective. There are many details on the painting that will need to be corrected to produce a realistic model. I think the important point is the “inspiration” this painting provides to inspire the builder to create the best rendition his skills will allow. You are entitled to some artistic license with this project. I hope you have fun with it. Mike
