Well, Rear Admiral, I can't help you with your electronics, but the three 'boys' are looking just fine!

Nice progress, Andy - she's really coming on.
By the way, you mentioned officers quarters forward and galley aft (been away for a couple of days so catching up) - did the officers have to tramp aft for their meals or did the steward have to cart it all the way up forward?

If you were a sheet metal worker, then this will be a piece of cake for you!

Interesting discussion. Harold Underhill pre-bevelled his frames, and recommends it in his book 'Plank on Frame Models'.

Fankie,
With the photo enlarged, the seams in both sails are clearly visible.
Kester,
Yep, those dark patches are chafing mats - have a look at the photo enlarged.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, the extra light is really helpful. We had a stage where every time the electrician came past he'd say, "You f...... blokes can't f...... work in this f...... light. F...... hang on a bit and I'll f...... get some more f...... lights for you." He has a limited vocabulary, but a heart of gold!

I love the old Baltic steamers. I'm really looking forward to your build!

She's going to look pretty spectacular on the water, mate! Lots of ballast needed, as Bob says.

Mac,
Your boats would be best built over a former on which the ribs can be laid down and then planked. The famous launch in which Bligh and his crew escaped was carvel built - have you researched the other boats that the Bounty carried?

Nice going, Piet! Just watch out that your submarine doesn't bite you again.

Well, it's a bit of a rough stone at the moment, Michael, but hopefully she'll polish up ok!

Wondered what you kept in the card file, Michael!
