Bruce, where did this journal come from? Are you sure that it's free of copyright? John

The external planking creeps slowly ahead. The last couple of visits to the museum I seem to have been spending at least as much time in meetings with staff as I have model making. Perhaps I'm slowly being drawn into the bottomless black hole of the public service! John

Now that looks like it will give you a lot of fun, Popeye! John

She's grown a lot since I last checked in, Kevin - very nice work indeed. Just to reinforce Roger's comments, here are details from (old) photos of a couple of my old ships when in dock. Although they are obviously much larger ships, you get the idea. In the first one the hull rivets around the stern of the 'Sydney Breeze' are completely invisible to the eye from this distance. In the second photo some of the rivets around the forecastle of the 'Thames Breeze' are visible due to the shadows caused by the strong light on white paint, but they're certainly still not prominent, or even really noticeable unless you're looking for them.

Nice to hear your storey, Bob, and an official welcome to MSW from 'Down Under'. I had a look at 'Storis' on the internet - she looks an interesting ship and would make a fine model. John

How on earth have I been missing this, Toni? She looks a lovely little vessel - I'm sure you'll do her justice. John

Just catching up on your beautiful build, Keith. All up to your usual standard! John

Ken, the roundel was exactly the same as the RAF one until the Americans started shooting at our planes thinking they were Japanese - that's when they ditched the red centre section. John

Allow me to make Greg's day even harder. The kangaroo wasn't introduced into the RAAF insignia until 1956! John

Hello Gan Do, and a warm welcome to MSW. I also had an ancestor come to Australia on the 'Scarborough', but he was a 'guest' of the Government! He was also on the 'Sirius' when she went onto the reef at Norfolk Island. John
