  1. What a great feeling it is to get those first strakes on! John
  2. Thanks, Keith. David - not sure yet. I usually just give my models a coat of Polyurethane, but it might look a bit bland. Another option is to copper the bottom - the Thursday Island luggers were coppered - but I'm not sure yet. John
  3. Thanks for the encouragement again, folks. Popeye - the planking is staggered to comply with Lloyds rules for planking. Bedford - sorry I missed you. John
  4. You're doing a fine job of the planking, mate! John
  5. Just catching up, Alexandru - she continues superbly! John
  6. Thanks, one and all. Yes, Pat - those little ships certainly had sweet lines. John
  7. Time for another update. I've reach what is, for me, a real milestone - the last planking batten is ready to be removed, which will leave the hull clear for the final strakes of planking to be laid. John
  8. That's becoming amazingly complex, Popeye - great work. John
  9. I feel like I could start cooking on that stove, Bob. John
  10. I don't really know, but I think Mark probably has the right of it. A bosun's chair seems the most obvious solution. John
  11. Scholzy, most current digital cameras will do the job just fine - you don't need to spend big bucks on a DSLR to take good photos. Remember that 95% of the photo is down to the nut pressing the shutter button. John
  12. Thanks for the update, Augie - she's really looking first class. John
