  1. What a nasty surprise, Trevor! Has that made you want to check all the walls on the house now? I truly hope that was the only one.
  2. I have been away for a while, Ron, and am pleased to see your progress. Very nicely done indeed!
  3. Folks, I am still out here alive and kicking. As the cooler weather moved in the CEO and I were able to carry on working on our patio extension behind the house. It is a big patio, ergo it is a big extension. I have not abandoned my build, just moved it down my priority list for a wee while as we get on with the house.All is not lost and I have not forgotten about you all
  4. Exquisite work! The amazing thing is, you did this multiple times and made a fantastic job of all of them. Like @Frecap said, perseverance is the key and you certainly have that.
  5. If this is how your work looks when you are hampered by "decrepitude"as you so put it, what would it look like if you were not 🤔 A work of art, Maurice, seriously.
  6. That is a beautiful display case and a fine looking model. And, you are right, clipper models like that are a lot nicer to look at than a telescope (which is made for looking through 🤣🤣 )
  7. If you need a few more, Bob, I could run some over for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  8. You made a fine job of that, Ronald. Very clean and precise. I have mine still to do so let's hope it looks half as good as this once I am done!
  9. You are doing a fine job, she is coming along nicely. Sie ist grösser als mein Model, die Details werden besser sichtbar. I am following along on this one!
  10. Hi, Rick, We have recently acquired a 26' Hunter and we love being out in her! Sailing has moved to the top of my all time favorite things to do (I love being on or in the water anyway, always have). MeCray is a point of discussion in our household at the moment.......
  11. I had actually looked at this, Phil because I have that particular build bookmarked for reference purposes. Very nice work indeed. I shall attempt to get it done as well as you have. My procrastination is me gearing myself up to do it
  12. Now THAT is an impressive image. We have recently acquired a sailboat, obviously nothing like these J class beauties but it is soooo much fun being out on her. Our house is right at the mouth of the Potomac river where it empties out into the Chesapeake Bay so we have plenty of water to play with. Because of our location, my interior designer wife has given our house a nice nautical theme. I think one of these pictures would look very nice in our living room. Thank you so much for sharing! As a side note, I have a feeling that a lot of my future models (if not all of them!) will be yachts. After having built this one I am kinda hooked I just love the way they look.
  13. Beautiful work, Marjin, truly. You are in the right place
  14. Nail on the head, Keith. Nail on the head.
  15. Welcome aboard mate. That is a fine old model, one that does need some tlc but, like others have said, not beyond the realms of possibility to accomplish. Have fun with that!
  16. Welcome! It sounds like you are bringing a lot of "hands on" experience with you. Have fun.
  17. Welcome, Erik. It looks like you already have an "in" here so I will just say enjoy!! I look forward to seeing your work once you do get up and running.
