  3. Just caught up with what you're doing here, Dave. The 'Sirius' is an interesting ship to me as one of my ancestors travelled on her on her last voyage from Sydney to Norfolk Island. Do you have a copy of 'The Nagle Journal'? A very interesting book and written by an American who was part of the Sirius' crew on the First Fleet voyage. John

  6. Keith, you'll have a much better idea once you've talking to someone who knows what's really going on - i.e. your doctor. Our thoughts are with you. John
  7. I like your 'explosion in a pipe factory' analogy. The engine room is looking very workmanlike. John
  8. Phil, I appreciate your quest for absolute accuracy in the model, but at 1/10 of a millimeter at scale, would those gaps even be seen? John
  9. Good to see you back posting, Vaddoc! That saw inset into the bench is a great idea. John
  10. Phil, I thought to myself a few times, "Don't worry about it - no-one will ever know." But then I kept telling myself that I'd Know!! John
  11. Just a small update. I had hoped to cross the main yard while I was at the museum yesterday, but unfortunately when I secured the sail to the yard I found that the tablings had somehow ended up on the fore side of the sail instead of the after side (🤢🤢), so I had to cut it off and re-fix it, which slowed the whole process down - hopefully it will be crossed on Monday. Meanwhile I got the mast ready for the yard and continued with the starboard lower ratlines. John

  13. Looks like a very useful addition to the workshop. John
