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

Looking good, John! John -
The only problem I have with this model is that it's on the other side of the world and i can't see it in person! Thank goodness we have the forum so that we can still enjoy other members models! John

Greg, this is worse than rigging a sailing ship model! 😀 John

That's an unusual configuration - having both right and left handed propellers on the same side of the ship. John

Hang in there, Keith. remember, if it does come to surgery, the surgeons have had another five years' experience to make them even better! John

Any photos of the 'Duchess' are helpful, mate, even at this late stage! John

Thanks, Pat. There are a few other very minor inconsistencies, but the gratings are rather obvious. There are pieces in George's 'box of bits' that I inherited that indicate he was going to add sections to square off the grating corners, but I think they's look better with new gratings. john

Karl, Thank you for more photos of the 'Duchess'. The straight line of planking across the poop was a result of the previous model maker, George, altering the model to conform to her later configuration of the poop with it extended on each side to form a straight bulkhead right across the ship - there was really no other way to make this alteration as the original builder (mac) had used solid timber sheets lined with ink for the decking. I'm aware of the anomaly with the after gratings but have yet to do something about them. That's a great photograph of Pamela at ease on the grating. John

Thanks for that photo! John

Very neat work, Paul. She's coming along well. John

Thank you, Mark. John

Progress is progress, Siggi! 😀 John

Hello Jon, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. Your first model does you proud! John

Pat, I've seen 'lace line' in the context of lacing a gaff sail to a mast, but surely your ship would have had robands? No idea about the lead lines, I'm afraid. John

Thanks, Keith. John

That's a very impressive tower! John
-
Very well executed, mate! John
