Keith, You should be easily able to start your build log by following these steps: Go to the appropriate menu by clicking in order, 'Browse'; 'Forums; and then in 'Build Logs' click on the appropriate date menu under 'Build Logs for Ship Model Kits' - I believe your model is of the era 1801 - 1850. From there click on the 'Start new topic' button at top right, and away you go. John

Very unusual to see griping spars on merchant ships, where the boats are always stowed inboard! John

I somehow missed your log, Siggi. That looks a beautiful model. John

I agree with Keith - very nice pumps! John

scissors, shears, cutters for rigging
Jim Lad replied to palmerit's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
My final choice has been a pair of fly-tiers scissors. Not cheap, but they work beautifully and cut right down to the very tip. As has already been said - used for rigging and nothing else. John -
I feel pretty slack for not commenting on your lovely model, Jerry. You're doing some beautiful work there! John PS And yes, I remember well your kindness when we visited the States many years ago!!

Ian, the sail is of silkspan with a single coat of acrylic paint. John

Been a couple of weeks, but I've been away at a conference for a week and last Monday I was working happily away when I accidentally (stupidly) cut straight through the jib stay, so most of the day was spent simply getting back to where things were when I came in! 🤢 Meanwhile, other work has been going on at home. Here is the foresail complete and rigged on its yard. It won't go onto the model for a while, but I plan on making and rigging all the square sails here at home and then taking them into the museum to fit on the model as required. John

Hello Peter, and a warm welcome to the forum from another Sydneysider! If you get desperate re conflicting opinions, you can always come in and say 'Hello' at the National Maritime Museum on Mondays or Fridays (when our trains get back to some sense of normality) where I can be found up on the upper level working on our model of the 'Duchess'. 🙂 John
