  1. Maybe painting is not your forte, but you did a great job in these tiny forniture. Regards, John
  2. Finished the second to third deck stairs including the handrailing. The hardest part was stretching the small rolled brasswire. Regards, John
  3. That's impressive Sjors, I can imagine now how the ship looks like when rigged. Regards, John
  4. Ron, I echo the previous post, the bow sprit looks great. Regards, John
  5. Hi Pete, The framework looks excellent. Curious to see the result of the planking. Have fun. Regards, John
  6. Stelios, I am really impressed by what you are doing. Such nice details and historical accuracy, for me that is a big step too far. Thanks for these nice pictures. Regards, John
  7. Brian, Thanks very much. All I know from the history of these paddle steamers comes from the books of Mark Twain and searching the internet. So I cannot add anything to the Wikipedia page as indicated by Wim. Wim, Thanks for looking in and advising Brian. Stelios and Al, Thanks very much. I am really flattered by your comments. Best regards, John
  8. Thanks for the nice compliment Ferit, if you are familiar to the books of Mark Twain you can indeed feel the atmosphere these paddle steamers radiate. Regards, John
  9. Excellent work and nice pictures Rod. Regards, John
  10. Wow what a progress Doris, the new crowns are beautiful, the handpumps magnificent. If it is a rainy day and I do not want to go out to the museum I simply browse your log. Regards, John
  11. Maybe I sound monotoneous, but your doing a great job. Regards, John
  12. Good progress Mick. This is a real fun built. Regards, John
  13. Went through your log. Very nice built, nice pictures too. Regards, John
  14. Thanks very much Wayne, I am flattered. Problem with Sjors is that when you give him an inch, he'll take a yard. Offered him to pop his corn and see what happened, he now comes up with a piza (and I am afraid that's only a starter) ! Regards, John
  15. The third deck can now be entered safely by having added the short stairs to the cabins. Now I have to finish the tall stairs to the second deck and then all stairs are in place. Regards, John
  16. Like these pinnaces. Well done Ferit. Regards, John
  17. The lady with the trumpet, very inventive. You added a new gadged to the ship. Regards, John
  18. Hi Steve. Nice to see such an old kit. Maybe there are no lasercut pieces, but from what I can see the qualilty is super. Have fun, John
  19. I'm glad you were able to solve the mast problem. Regards, John
  20. Thank you Sjors, if you go inside the wheelhouse you will see a stove to the left, so you can pop your corn there. Regards, John
