It's good to see you back at it, Clare, and on the mend health wise! Looks like you've pretty much got that etching process licked! John -
Looking very nice, mate! John
-
Good to hear that the sawdust is flying, Bob. Looking forward to your first photos. John
-
Good on you, Mobbsie! Just a little tweaking (as planned) and she'll be superb! John

I was photographing Rainbow Bee-eaters in that cemetery in July. "Just down the road in Martyn Street" - sound s like you live in Cairns, Ollie - pity I didn't know you before our trip north! John

Bob, To my eye she looks a little unbalanced without the fore topmast, but you obviously must build her the way that looks best to you - she'll make a fine model either way! John

Ollie, In well run ships it was common for the bell to be polished to within an inch of its life. Can I suggest just some clear gloss finish to protect the shine? John

Now that will make a very nice looking model, Bob. Are you going to build her with both topmasts and no engine? John
-
Very neatly done, mate! John
-
Crikey! A grandmother actually born on T.I.! Have you ever visited there, Ollie? John
-
Nice 'bits and pieces', Popeye! John
-
Just catching up with what you're doing, mate - she's looking really first class! John
-
Great going, Popeye! It's a wonder you have space for the m all! John

Andy, That unloading gear is starting to look very impressive; but what do you mean, 'trial and error'? Don't you remember all that arithmetic you had to do for your second mate's ticket? John

Thanks Jeff and Chris! John
-
Great work on the windlass, Ollie. Jeff is spot on with his advice re the bell and margin plank. On large modern ships the bell is (or was when I was at sea) certainly used in anchor work - to ring out the number of shackles of cable (each of 15 fathoms length) that were in the water. John

Nicely done, Danny. That photo of the jig shows just how much sheer the ship has! John
-
Difficult decisions, Michael! I think the lower coaming might look neater on the cockpit the way yours is set up as completely separated from the cabin. John
-
Nice to see all that you've done on her, Bob! John
-
More good progress, Andy - and thanks for the lesson on self-unloaders - I've never worked with one! John
