  1. Great to see that you've got time for your model again, Bruce! John
  2. Looks nice, Ollie1 I think I'd go with Ringbolt's suggestion of the iron bar through the cathead. John
  3. Looking good, Augie! Can't wait to see the stern decoration on! John
  4. Good on yer, Mobbsie! So now it's Mobbsie the mighty museum modeller! John
  5. Danny, Check your digital verniers - the official diameter of a five cent coin is 19.41 mm! John
  6. Ollie, Cutter masting varied enormously from ship to ship. Looking at the available contemporary paintings, the caps you have for the kit look reasonable, but remember that you need room for the spreader on top of the forward end of the lower cap. I would guess that the topmast had a square heel and the lower mast had a square tenon worked into the top to take the cap, so the lower one would be square for the topmast and round for the lower mast with the upper cap being the other way around - square for the lower mast and round for the topmast. John
  7. Very nice 'shoe' or 'fairing piece' or whatever, Michael! John
  8. Nice to see the final keel in place, Mark. I hope the guards are only off the saw for the photo! John
  9. Now problem about us staying to the end, Remco. It's a real pleasure to follow! John
  10. Sounds like making tea, Mark - one spoon for each person and one for the pot! John
  11. I'm staying out of the RC control discussions as it's a subject I know nothing about, but for those who've mentioned it, we do live close to each other - we're only a computer away! John
  12. That's looking very nice indeed, Grant! John
