  1. Nice to see some more progress on your beautiful model. John
  2. I notice that the compass card is (naturally) mounted on gimbals, Michael! John
  3. She's really coming along, Popeye! It was usual for the masts to have increasing rake from fore to aft, but the amount was really quite small - only about 1 degree additional rake for each mast. John
  4. I continue to be amazed by your beautiful metal work, Keith! John
  5. A brave move, Mark - but it's no good leaving it if you're not completely happy. John
  6. G'day Richard, and a warm welcome to the forum. Always good to see another Aussie here. John
  7. That's a huge project you've undertaken, but it will be a lasting memorial to your grandfather. John
  8. Very nice, Nils. Your telegraphs are actually set on 'slow ahead' - the bridge telegraphs are marked in the opposite way to the repeaters in the engine room! John
  9. Not my model, Mark, but I think if it was I might be inclined to leave to holly in if it looks good. John
  10. Nice to see that you've got stuck into another one, Jason. She really looks a treat. John
  11. I usually do just that - lower masts starting from forward and then work aft and up, however don't make this an invariable rule. Study your rigging very carefully before you start as there may be peculiarities on your particular ship that necessitate a variation to the norm. John
  12. Popeye - WARNING! Those whisker booms will catch on everything within 50 yards of the model!!! Be very careful when working anywhere near the forward end of the model! John
  13. What it looks like is absolutely beautiful, Danny. Of course the wheel hubs stand out a bit at the moment! John
  14. She's really looking the ant's pyjamas, Popeye! John
  15. Great to know that you've come through your medical problems OK, Bruce. It's a delight to see more photos of your lovely clipper. John
