Piet, It seems you just get a section almost finished when you think of a way to improve it! I love the way you're going about this and making it the best possible model you can. John -
Thanks, gents! I'm just annoyed with myself for doing something I keep telling others not to do - trying to rush it!!! John

Sorry to disappoint, but for those who remember Claytons, this is the update you're having when you're not having an update. I'm afraid I stupidly went to the museum yesterday with completely the wrong attitude - finish the Stag. As it's school holidays here, the museum was crowded, so I was getting very little work done and still thinking, 'I have to finish the Stag today' - what a dill!! Of course I not only got very little done, but I also managed to snip the jib outhaul in two in my rush to try and get things done. At least by the time I go in again I will have both calmed down and forgiven myself for my stupidity; so maybe next time! John

Nice start on the running rigging, Ilhan. john

More delightful work. She's coming along very well. John

Lovely set of photos, Andy! If you're a bit short of sun you could always come over here. It's still early spring and the temperature's over 30 degrees already! john

Thanks, Sherry! John
-
Quite production line, Danny! John
-
Bob, Apart from repairing that port brace, she still needs quite a few rope coils and, of course, anchors. John

I'm not exactly sure, but on reflection, that deck layout looks very similar to Cutty Sark. John
-
Just like looking down into the real ship, Gary! John
-
Henry, It actually says that those deck plans were used as part of the reconstruction of Ariel's deck plan. John

Janos - Thanks, mate - hope to finish her this week. Tony - Thanks. He'd probably still ask if I was sure I was doing it right! John

Wow! She's really coming alive, Tom! John -
Raise or lower the rudder for more or less 'bite' - very clever! John
-
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does re-makes, Piet. A submarine with a nice little dinghy, no less! very flash! John
-
Nice looking bottle screws, Piet. I promise not to tell anyone that they're over scale! John
-
Fair enough! John
-
Congratulations, Meredith - she looks terrific! John

Getting back to the original (sort of) subject; here in Australia, the South Australian gulf ketches didn't have any er, facilities, and the crew had to hang over the side clutching the shrouds. Answering a call of nature was known as ' doing a lee sider'. Now, perhaps, back to the rigging! John

Nicely done, Danny. Why did you make the light swing upwards instead of sideways? John
