Tom, I don't think it matters that you can't actually read the lettering on the telegraph - the effect is still there! John -
Beautiful work on the dyke, Wefalck - it's very realistic! John
-
Another Danny expert fix coming up! John
-
Absolutely delightful work, Danny! John
-
Ummm, Michael, can you get her out of the door of your workshop, or will the topmast be sent down for transportation? John
-
Just catching up with this one, Meredith - you've made a great start. By the way, how do you currently hang up your washing with all your pegs 'otherwise engaged'? John
-
Popeye - yes, mate. The straight side of the stock should be at the top. John
-
An interesting looking 'thingy', Lars - I have no idea what it is! John
-
Looking good so far, Grant. As Augie says, watch the tighter bends - you may have to do a two stage bending process as you get towards the ends of the boat. John
-
Mobbsie, Take care mate - you only have a limited supply of fingers! John

Andy, Memo for your next model; according to Lees the deadeyes would be correct, but the hearts look good anyway! The rose lashing is merely a little short of rose. if you were really demented, you could try making a rose shape and just tucking it under the seizing. John

Nearly done with the planking, Mario! She's looking good. John
-
Very nice, Michael! John
-
Steaming (or sailing) along, Popeye. Just remember to turn the stocks of the anchors over the other way before finally fixing them! John
-
You just can't help yourself, can you Popeye! I blink and you have another fishing boat half finished!! John

Rigging sizes in relation to scale of model
Jim Lad replied to HKC's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
HKC, For a modern square rigger with wire standing rigging, some of the main sizes (diameter in millimeters) would be as follows: Lower shrouds: 0.33 Topmast shrouds: 0.3 Stays: 0.33 Topgallant stays:0.24 Lower braces: 0.33 Topgalland braces: 0.27 Lower lifts: 0.44 Topgallant lifts: 0.25 Other lines in proportion. Hope that helps. John -
Hey, Mobbsie, there seems to be a lot of talk about coppering here, but not a lot of yer actual copper plates fitted! John
-
Great stuff, Michael! John
-
Elmir, That looks a good start to the build of an interesting type of vessel. John
-
Nice start on the boat, mate! John
