Hello Jeff, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

Very neat work on that capping rail, Keith. If you Google 'Anchor Chain Stopper' you'll see triangular gadgets called a 'levered pawl'. Yours could very well be an up-market version of that arrangement. john

She's really starting to look like she has a purpose now, Steve. John -

That's some serious fishing going on in that image of the boat with the net over the rail! I'm sure your winch will turn out nicely rusted up, Gary. John

Thanks Keith. it seems funny to be wishing a Happy New Year to people currently living in the cold wet and snow while we're expecting temperatures in the mid forties tomorrow with the fire risk set at catastrophic! John

Never heard of Madrona, but if little or no grain, works well and isn't too brittle, it should be fine for model making. John

Looks a great project, Troy. Robert Campbell was a prominent member of early Colonial society and was described by Governor Bligh as a 'humane and honest merchant'. It would be interesting to know how Modeller's Shipyard developed their kit as the only contemporary information I know of the 'Perseverance' is that she was described as a 'brig of 136 ton'. John

Allan, I usually work at 1:96, but a larger scale certainly is easier to work with and makes a very impressive model - providing you have the space to display it! John

Currently 10.12 in the morning here, Chuck (1st of January, that is). I just had enough room to get in to those planks with my trusty Dremel battery powered tool at an angle! John

Thanks, Druxey. Hopefully updates will become a little more regular in this new year! John

What, with one thing and another, it's been a while, but at last here's an update on the 'Meteor'. The internal planking is finally finished and has been rough sanded - a big milestone in my mind. Next job is to plank the stern and then get the external planking done before finishing off the inside of the hull. John

Great to see you back in the shipyard, Michael. Really first class work as per usual. John

Looking good, Kevin. I'm no steam engineer, but I think that in a lot of smaller ships the ashes from the boiler grates had to be manually hoisted up on deck via the boiler room gratings and then heaved over the side. The type of ash chute you've shown for your model helped with this heavy job as it was lowered over the side and the ashes dumped into the top of it to fall into the sea well clear of the ship's side.
